HD connectors (from 1 to 8).

You do not have to connect all the inputs.

2.Connect the unbalanced audio sources to up to eight INPUT mini plug

connectors.

Not shown in Figure 3.

3.Connect the 15-pin HD OUTPUT connectors (from 1 to 2) to up to two UXGA

acceptors (for example, a projector to OUTPUT 1 and a display to OUTPUT 2).

You do not have to connect both outputs.

4.Connect the OUT 1 unbalanced audio mini plug connector to an audio acceptor.

5.Connect the OUT 2 balanced audio terminal block connector (see Section 5.1) to an audio acceptor.

6.Set the DIP-switches (see Section 5.5).

7.As an option you can connect a PC and/or controller to the:

RS-232 port (see Section 5.2)

RS-485 port (see Section 5.3)

The Ethernet connector (see Section 5.4)
