Optically-isolated Digital Inputs
The digital input connections are implemented as four + and – terminals on 3.5 mm captive
screw terminal blocks. Because each input is optically-isolated, both connections must be
used to ensure the correct operation of the input circuit.
NOTE: By factory default, status notication for Digital Inputs 1 through 4 is disabled.
To be made operational, they must be enabled using the Set input trigger
on MSVPP command (see “Applicable MSVPP Commands”).
The optically-isolated input circuits provide for various connection scenarios; two common
methods follow:
Option 1 — Figure 76 shows a typical Digital Input application, monitoring external switch
positions. This application uses the Power port on the media player and is an application
where the current required is within the 1.8 A that the Power port makes available for
external use.

Option 2 — Figure 77 shows a similar external switch monitoring application, except that it
uses an external power supply. The external power supply is the preferred method in noisy
environments or when wiring is run over a long distance. The exact external power supply
voltage rating is not critical so long as the current through the 1-kohm resistor internal to
the media player is limited between 5 mA and 20 mA. Note the resistor in the input 1 circuit
in figure 77, which attenuates the current to within these limits.
