Auxiliary Devices (INTERACTAT)
The mixer allows connection to a number of different audio and video peripherals, such as video
codecs, VCRs, DVD players, cameras and computers.
Connecting Video Codecs, Amplifiers and Sound Cards
Line input/output devices such as video codecs, amplifiers and sound cards can be connected to
the Line In or Line Out connectors on the INTERACT mixer. These connectors provide mono-audio.
To Connect a Video Codec
1. Using an RCA cable, connect the Line In on the INTERACT mixer to the line out on a video
codec.
2. Using an RCA cable, connect the Line Out on the INTERACT mixer to the line in on a video
codec.
To Connect a Sound Card
l Using an RCA cable, connect the Line Out or Record Out on the INTERACT mixer to the
line in on an amplifier.
Note: Use the INTERACT software to adjust the equalization and volume of these
devices. Refer to pages 39–46 for more information. When using the INTERACT
software, be sure to drag the amplifier to the correct device (either line out or
record). This will properly assign the AEC reference and change the volume
command on the controller to control the external amplifier volume.
