DVI inputs 1, 2, 3, and 4 — DVI. These inputs

can be used instead of analog inputs 1

through 4. (MGP 464 DI only)

INPUT 1-DVI-D

NAnalog is not available on this DVI-I connector.

Virtual inputs 5 – 19 — Component video, S-video, or composite video (configurable via Windows®-based control software, SIScommands, or Web pages only). In each column, you can connect inputs as follows:

Three composite video inputs

One S-video and one composite video input

NThe S-video must always be connected to the top two BNCs (Y on top, C second). If desired, a composite video source can be connected to the bottom BNC.

One interlaced component video source

(connects to all three BNCs in the column).
