Connection Instructions
►Video Connections
1. Use an appropriate cable to connect each video source to the corresponding video
Getting Started
input on the MFP. The HDMI, DisplayPort, and DVI inputs can include embedded
audio. The DVI input only supports audio from an HDMI source with the proper cable
and/or adapter). The VGA and Composite inputs require an external audio input.
2. Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI Out and/or DVI Out port(s) to HD display(s).
Both displays will show identical content, but may be used for a direct display and a
projector, for example.
►Audio Connections
3. Use appropriate cables to connect each audio source to the proper audio input on
the MFP. Audio inputs can be associated with a specic video input through system
conguration, but they can also be switched independently.
Information
Only the embedded audio from the currently selected digital video source, or
any independent audio source can be selected (e.g. You cannot display DP
video with HDMI audio, etc.).
4. Connect the analog audio outputs to an audio amplier and speakers, or you can use
the speakers in the display, if available, over the existing HDMI connection.
►Control Options
5. Connect the IP Control port to the LAN with a network cable. The connected LAN
should be available to the participants that will be controlling the presentations.
6. If desired, connect the RS-232 input to an external RS-232 controller or automation
system.
7. If desired, connect dry-contact pushbuttons to the Input Control terminals
8. If desired, connect an IR Extender (Gefen part no. EXT-RMT-EXTIRN) to the IR Ext
port to allow use of the included IR remote if the IR “eye” on the front of the MFP
is not within range of the remote.
►Power
9. Connect the included power supply to the 12V DC power receptacle and connect
the power cord to an available electrical outlet.
