– Connect these high quality video outputs to your
main video display device (ie. Projector, CRT, LCD, etc.) You will be pleased to know
that they will convert the Composite and S-video signals to the Component outputs
of your Maestro M2e. See page 20 for more details.

- These three outputs provide a +12 volt signal to
control the power amplifiers, source units, video projector, screens and curtains in
the theater. The Main Trigger output is active whenever the Maestro is turned on;
the Video Trigger 2 is active whenever a video source is selected.

sensor.

UTPUTS
– These inputs allow the Maestro M2e to accept digital
video signals from source units equipped with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia
Interface) outputs. The Maestro M2e outputs digital signals via this HDMI output to
a projection device with an HDMI input.

optional AudioControl BVR-25 balanced line receiver. The switch next to the LED
allows you to select between digital audio or remote power. Hint - Bright red LED
means Remote Power. These outputs run in parallel to the Maestro M2e’s standard
component outputs so you will want to make sure that these component outputs
(YUV) are activated in the General Settings menu (see page 25).

- In complex home theater systems, ground loops can be a
painful fact of life. This button isolates the signal ground connections on the Mae-
stro M2e from the AC Power ground. For safety reasons, the chassis remains earth
grounded at all times.

– Think of this as the vacation switch. You should only need
to turn off your Maestro M2e with this button when the system will not be used for
some time. Normally this button is left on and the Maestro M2e is “woken up” via
the “Standby” switch on the front panel, via the optional remote control or through
an automation system. When this switch is turned off, you cannot turn the Maestro
M2e on of off via any other method.

– These outputs send signals to amplifiers with bal-
anced XLR type inputs. This type of configuration yields maximum noise rejection
from the airborne interference and is recommended for applications where you are
sending audio signals over a long distance.
