5Connecting a Component/XGA – Audio Distribution System

The Component/XGA – Audio Distribution System can be configured to operate in one of two video modes:

In the XGA mode, a computer graphics source is connected to the input and transmitted to a display connected to the receiver (see section 5.1)

In the component video mode, a component video source is connected to the input and transmitted to a TV set connected to the receiver (see section 5.2)

The Component/XGA – Audio Distribution System can be configured to operate in one of two audio modes:

In the analog mode, an analog audio source is connected to the input and transmitted to an acceptor connected to the receiver (see section 5.1)

In the digital audio mode, an S/PDIF audio source is connected to the input and transmitted to a digital acceptor connected to the receiver (see section 5.2)

Thus, there are four possible system configurations: computer graphics/analog audio, computer graphics/digital audio, component video/analog audio, and component video/digital audio.

The modes of the system are determined by setting the VIDEO SELECT and AUDIO SELECT switches on the TP-45or TP-45RC. Whatever modes are set at the transmitter the video and audio signals are sent to the receiver and any additional cascaded receivers1.
