Rear Panel 

The following illustration shows the rear panel of the DM-MD8X1-4K-C. 

NOTE:  

For illustrative purposes, the rear panel of the DM-MD8X1-4K-C is shown below. 

The rear panel of the HD-MD8X1-4K-C is similar to the rear panel of the DM-MD8X1-4K-C; 
however, only the DM-MD8X1-4K-C includes the DM OUT and MIC IN connectors.

 

Rear Panel (DM-MD8X1-4K-C Shown) 

 

 

VGA IN 1-4:  HD15 female; 

Analog VGA/RGB/video inputs; 
Signal Types:  VGA, RGB, component, S-video, or composite; 

Formats:  RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, YPbPr, Y/C, NTSC or PAL; 
Input Level:  0.5 to 1.5 Vp-p with built-in DC restoration; 
Input Impedance:  75 Ohms nominal; 

Sync Detection:  RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, YPbPr; 
Sync Input Level:  3 to 5 Vp-p; 

Sync Input Impedance: 2.2k Ohms 

NOTE:  

The VGA inputs can accept component, composite, and S-video signals using 

an appropriate adapter (not included). However, input sync detection is not provided for 
composite or S-video signal types.

 

 

AUDIO IN 1-4:  3.5 mm TRS mini phone jacks; 
Unbalanced stereo line-level analog audio inputs; 
Input Impedance: 32k Ohms unbalanced; 

Maximum Input Level:  2.8 Vrms unbalanced 

NOTE:  

If an HDMI input is selected but no digital audio signal is detected, the 

corresponding analog audio input is activated (AUDIO 1 for HDMI 1, AUDIO 2 for  

HDMI 2, and so on). The analog audio inputs do not pass audio if the HDMI video input 
resolution is higher than 1920 x 1200.
