Routing Matrox Iris GT outputs      135

Routing Matrox Iris GT outputs

 There are four ways to route a Matrox Iris GT output:

• Route a Matrox Iris GT auxiliary output signal to a third-party device. 

• Route an auxiliary output signal from your Matrox Iris GT to a light controller 

(strobe).

• Route a controlled-current output from your Matrox Iris GT to a LED lighting 

device.

• Route a Matrox Iris GT auxiliary output signal to a Matrox Iris GT auxiliary input 

signal. See the 

Routing a Matrox Iris GT auxiliary output signal to a Matrox Iris GT 

auxiliary input signal

 subsection of the 

Routing signals to Matrox Iris GT input 

signals

 section (earlier in this chapter).

• Route Matrox Iris GT auxiliary output signal 4 (AUX(STB)_OPENC_OUT4) 

to the Matrox Iris GT trigger signal (TRIG_). See the
