Connect audio devices, such as an audio amplifier or powered speakers to the eight
sets of 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connectors marked “Outputs.” The connectors
output the selected unamplified, line level audio (see Wiring the Audio Connectors on
page 12 to properly wire an output connector).
By default, audio and video use different boards, so that audio breakaway is switched
separately. This is done via the front panel, Ethernet, or the RS-232 or RS-422 link,
allowing selection from any of the audio input sources (see Operation on page 13,
SIS Configuration and Control on page 34, SMX Control Software on page 59, or
HTML Control and Configuration on page 87 for control details).
m Plane address rotary switch — This 16 position rotary switch
defines a plane address for up to 16 I/O boards. To set an address,
insert a small screwdriver in the slot and rotate it to the desired
number (0-9, A-F). Each plane address is then identifiable during
SMX control and configuration.
