video) is done automatically. All the main video outputs on the
Nº40 are active at all times.
Figure 3-9: Main component outputs.
Connect this main component output to an appropriate display
device (or external video processor) as needed. Several BNC-to-RCA
adapters are include with your Nº40 in case you need them.
Optionally, you can configure these connectors to have an RGBSc
output (Red, Green, Blue, and composite Sync). This configuration
supports the European SCART standard, by providing a composite
video signal on the “Sc” connector. Please see your dealer for more
information on how to use the SCART connection if you would like
to take advantage of this feature and have other, suitable, SCART-
equipped products.
Monitor Output The monitor output is a separate path within the Nº40 that can be
used to drive yet another display device.
Figure 3-10: Monitor Output. The most common use will likely be to provide an alternative
display for user interface information, much like the LCD display.
You might consider connecting the monitor output to a
small-screen television located in the equipment rack, for example,
if you find the front panel LCD display too small or difficult to
read.
The LCD and the monitor output can be configured to always
display whatever would normally be shown on the main output or
to operate only when the Nº40 is in preview mode. In addition, you
can configure it to show all on-screen menus and messages, or only
the menus. See “Display Options” on page 5-46 for more details.
PHASTLink-CompatibleControl Ports
These two communications ports provide for sophisticated inter-
component communications between the Nº40 and certain
compatible Mark Levinson products. To access the built-in intelli-
gence of these communications capabilities, simply “daisy chain”
your various PHAST-capable Mark Levinson components together
using eight conductor “straight-through” cables with RJ-45 connec-
tors at both ends. You can buy these cables from your dealer as an
accessory item.
Thus, if the only other Mark Levinson PHAST-compatible compo-
nent you have is an amplifier, you should connect one of the Nº40’s
control ports to one of the power amplifier’s control ports using a
“straight-through” RJ-45 cable. If there are additional Mark
Levinson PHAST-compatible components in the system, daisy
