C

 

AC power connection — Use the provided IEC connector to

 

 

connect the unit to a convenient power socket. The internal

 

 

power supply will support 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.

 

 

 

D

 

Video input — One female DB-15 connector is used for video

 

 

input. Acceptable input formats include: RGBHV, RGBS,

 

 

RGsB, RsGsBs, YUV (tri-level and bi-level sync), S-video, and

 

 

composite video. (See page 2-9.)

 

 

 

 

 

E

 

Audio input (P/2 DA8 A and P/2 DA12 A models only) — One

 

 

female 3.5 mm TRS connector accepts unbalanced audio input.

 

 

(See page 2-10.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

F

 

Video outputs — Up to eight (P/2 DA8 series) or twelve (P/2

 

 

DA12 series) outputs can be connected using female DB-15

connectors. The output signal format follows that of the input. (See page 2-9.)

NID bits on pins 4, 11, 12, and 15 are routed to Output 1.

G Audio outputs (P/2 DA8 A and P/2 DA12 A models only)

—Up to eight (P/2 DA8 A) or twelve (P/2 DA12 A) outputs can be connected using 3.5 mm 5 pole captive screw connectors. Outputs can be balanced or unbalanced. (See page 2-10.)

H

Mute controls — On P/2 DA 8 models, two 3.5 mm, 5-pole

 

 

captive screw connectors will be used to mute video and audio

 

from specific or all outputs. On P/2 DA12 models, two 3.5 mm,

 

4 pole and two 3.5 mm, 3 pole captive screw connectors will be

 

used. (See page 2-11.)
