Worksheet example 3: Test configuration

The A/V system in our fictional organization needs to be fine tuned on a regular basis. Figure 3-45 shows a typical test configuration, with an Extron video test generator (input 8) generating a test pattern to all monitors (outputs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8). Sound checks are run from the CD player (input 5) to all audio systems (outputs 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8).
