Outputs

E

TP outputs — Connect up to 8, 16, or 32 (depending

 

on the matrix size) compatible MTP receivers to the

 

Outputs RJ-45 connectors.

F

Local RGB (VGA) outputs — Connect one

 

or two RGBHV video displays to the Local

 

Outputs (VGA) 15-pin HD female connectors.

NThese outputs are always outputs 1 and 2.

NThe video that is output on this (these) connector(s) is converted from the tied proprietary TP input signal or the local (VGA) input.

NThis connector can also output HD component video, component video, S-video, or composite video if that is the video format that was input.

If the video output is NTSC component video, S-video, or composite video, set the output to turn off sync stripping. See the Local video output sync polarity SIS commands on page 4-5.

G

Local audio outputs — Connect audio devices, such as audio

 

amplifiers or powered speakers to these four or eight 3.5 mm,

 

Mono Audio (local audio) outputs 5-pole captive screw

 

connectors to receive unamplified, mono line level audio.

NThese outputs are always outputs 1 through 4 (matrix sizes up to 1616) or outputs 1 through 8 (matrix sizes 1632 and larger), with the same inputs tied to them as to TP outputs 1 through 4 (8).

NEach local output has a volume control. See "Viewing and Adjusting the Audio Level” on page 3-8.
