Input and Output Connectors

Viewed from the rear of the enclosure, the connectors span the center from the power receptacles to the

control area with the inputs on the top with the outputs directly below. Input and output connectors are

the attachment points for source and destination devices that connect to the system. The rear of each

enclosure is populated with connectors for a single signal type (for configuration sizes, see the

“Applicability Notice” on page 7 through page 9). Inputs and outputs are numbered separately. The

numbers are above each connector and read left to right, continuing on the next row of connectors. All

video connectors are BNC, and audio connectors are 5-position terminal block. For systems containing

video enclosures, we recommend installing a color-coded band representing the enclosure’s signal type

on the first input BNC connector on each enclosure. A set of colored bands ships with the system; for the

colored band to signal correspondence, see the table on page 22.

For cabling and wiring information for each signal type, see page 21.

For signal specifications, see page 39.
