a. Program outputs — Connect video devices to the 15-pin HD output female connector (shown at right) and
the BNC connectors (shown below).
b. If an optional program output board is installed
(see the ISS 506 User Guide, available at
DVI Video
www.extron.com), connect a DVI-D (shown
at right), 3G/HD-SDI (shown below right), or
low resolution device (scan converted output),
shown below, to the board.
c. Preview output — Connect a video device to the 15-pin HD connector.
Step 4 — Audio
a. Connect up to six stereo or mono audio inputs to the 5-pole captive screw input connectors.
b. Connect balanced or unbalanced stereo audio or mono audio devices to one or both of the program captive screw output
connectors and the preview 5-pole captive screw output connector.
NOTE: The Variable Program audio output is adjustable
using the front panel Volume control. The other
audio outputs are not adjustable.
Step 5 — Serial ports
a. If desired, connect a control system or computer to the rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port, as shown below left.
b. If desired, connect a control system or computer to the front panel Configuration (RS-232) port. The optional 9-pin D to 2.5 mm
mini jack TRS RS-232 cable, part number 70-335-01, can be used for this connection, as shown below right.
