Other Cabling Considerations
It is important for you to assess the ports available on the TVs at the venue so that you
can get any additional adapters or cable types that are needed to connect the SV-4K to
the TV.
Null Modem (Crossover) Cable
The SV-4K is a DTE serial device. Therefore, if the TV also has a DTE (male) serial
port, then you will need to use a null modem (crossover) cable for the TV control
connection.
HDMI-to-DVI Adapter
If the TV does not support HDMI In, then you cannot use the standard HDMI-to-
HDMI cable that ships with the SV-4K. However, if the TV supports a DVI-D
connection, then you can acquire a DVI adapter for the HDMI cable to make the HDMI-
to-DVI connection.
Since this type of connection only supports video, you will also need to connect the SV-
4K audio port to the audio input ports on the TV if audio support is required.
