Installation and Operation, cont’d

Most laptop or notebook computers have an external video port, but they require special commands to output the video to that connector. Also, laptops’ screens shut off once that port is activated. See the computer’s user’s guide for details, or contact Extron for a list of laptop keyboard commands.

Connect the local monitors to the monitor breakout cables

 

if they were used in step 1 to connect the computers to the

monitor is used with a connected MBC cable.

5.

Connect an audio device, such as powered speakers, to the

 

rear panel stereo audio output connector for balanced or

 

unbalanced audio output. Following the wiring guide

 

shown below, insert the wires into the appropriate

openings in the captive screw connector. Tighten the screws on top to fasten the wires, then insert the wired audio connector into the audio output connector on the interface rear panel.

For unbalanced output, connect the sleeve to ground (GND). Connecting the sleeve to a negative (-) terminal will damage the audio output circuits.
