Cabling and Jumpering Internal
Boards:
Cable between level 1 and level 3
is not attached.
Nine jumpers remain in their
original location (no jumpers
on the jumper holder).

COMPONENT - CONNECTS TO LEVELS 1, 2, & 3*.
S-VIDEO - CONNECTS TO LEVELS 1 & 2 ONLY*.
COMPOSITE - CONNECTS TO LEVEL 1 ONLY*.
* DIGITAL AUDIO (IF AVAILABLE) CONNECTS
TO LEVEL 4 ONLY ON THE SAME INPUT
FOR ANY OF THE VIDEO FORMATS. FOR
EXAMPLE, REFER TO INPUTS 9, 10, & 11.
NOTES:
LEVELS 1 THROUGH 4 ARE ALWAYS
SWITCHED TOGETHER.
EACH SOURCE CONNECTS TO A SINGLE
INPUT (LABELED 1 THROUGH 16).
THE SEQUENCE OF SOURCES IS
INDEPENDENT OF VIDEO FORMAT.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SOURCES ALLOWED
WITH THIS CONFIGURATION IS 16.

Composite/S-Video Only Configuration
AKA: 16 Video & Up to 16 S-Video or Video Sources
NOTE:
Dealing with a system that contains more than 16 sources? This
configuration may be preferred as long as the system does not contain component
video.
To achieve this configuration, the unit must be opened and the cable assembly
attached. Refer to "Cabling and Jumpers" on page 8 for details. The internal jumpers
remain intact.
Conditions of this configuration;
please read carefully!
This configuration allows for the greatest number of sources, 32. However, those
sources can only be composite (up to 32, when there is no S-video) and S-video (up
to 16, maximum). The illustration after this paragraph provides a visual depiction of
a system that utilizes the CNX-PVID8x4 in the composite/S-video only
configuration. Some of the sources also include digital audio. Notice that S-video
sources can only be connected to input 1 through 16 (connect Y to level 1 and C to
level 2). Installation of the cable assembly conceptually eliminates level 3 (thus
component sources are not allowed with this configuration) and extends level 1 with
16 composite-only connections. Of course, if there are fewer than 16 S-video sources
in the system, the number of composite sources can increase as long as the total
number of composite and S-video sources does not exceed 32.
NOTE:
The composite sources connected to level 3 are switchable to the output on
level 1.
