~Composite Video — One BNC female connector is provided for NTSC or PAL composite video, a signal that typically originates from a VCR or camera. An adapter may be required when connecting this input to consumer equipment, which typically uses a phono connector for composite video (professional equipment typically uses BNC connectors).

~S-Video— One 4-pin mini-DIN connector is provided for NTSC or PAL S-Video, a signal that is typically of higher quality than composite video, and originates from many DVD players and cameras. Note that this connector can alternatively be used to connect a second composite input. In this case, a special cable will be needed to convert from the mini DIN connector to BNC (or phono) connector that is typically used for composite video signals.

~RGB / YPbPr — One 15-pin female D-sub connector is provided for either high resolution analog RGB input or

YPbPr component video (HDTV). This input supports 3, 4 or 5-wire connections, and is typically used to connect the

output of a computer to Quadra.

Note

Typically, a computer’s RGB format output is connected to

 

Quadra on this input. This input may also be used to

 

connect HDTV signals, which can originate in RGB or

 

YPbPr formats.

 

 

~Digital — One DVI-I connector is used for the optional digital input, typically used to connect an external computer graphics output to the Quadra.

3)Input Channel 2

Four connectors are provided for Input Channel 2. The complement of input signal types is identical to Input Channel 1. See the “Input Channel 1” description on the previous page for details.

4)Input Channel 3

The complement of input signal types is identical to Input Channel 1.

5)Input Channel 4

The complement of input signal types is identical to Input Channel 1.

Note

The input channels are configured identically. All inputs are self terminating.

6)Graphic Output 1

One DVI-I multi-pin connector is provided for Graphic Output 1, which outputs both analog and DVI signals on the same connector. The analog and digital outputs of each channel provide images with the same resolution. Using the proper cable (customer supplied), you
