Rear Panel Connections
Composite Video (NTSC/PAL) Input Connections
NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) and PAL (Phase Alternate
Line) composite video signals use a single coax cable. They may or may not
have separate audio.
See the illustration below to connect a composite video source to the input of a
System 8/10 PLUS. If the source has stereo audio, it can be connected either of
two ways. The solid line shows the use of a Phoenix® audio connector that has
six (6) conductors. Details on audio connections are given on page 2-6. The
second method of audio input connection is shown by dashed lines, and is also
explained on page 2-6.
Input Selection Switches
To complete the Composite Video configuration, the DIP switch for the input
number being configured must be in the up position. These switches are on the
right side of the rear panel. The switch for the example (input #4) is shown in the
NTSC/PAL position. The S-Video switch for this channel (input #4) must be in
the down position.
When the System 8/10 PLUS selects this input, the LED next to the output
marked “Video” will light. See arrow in illustration below.
_______ If audio input uses the Phoenix connector, the output must also use the Phoenix
connector. If the input uses BNC connectors, the output must also use BNC
connectors.
