Virtual input connector configuration examples

You can configure these virtual inputs for the desired signal types using the Windows-based control software (see the control software help file), SIS commands (see chapter 4, “Software Configuration and Control”), or the Web pages (see chapter 5, “HTML Configuration and Control”). They cannot be configured via the front panel.

NWhen you configure a virtual input as S-video (using two input connectors) or component video (using three input connectors), pressing any one of its equivalent buttons selects the input. For example, if you plug an S-video source into input connectors 8 and 9, pressing either the 8 or the 9 input button selects that input.
