Video Connections
Choosing your video
There are four video signal connection formats ranging from Good to Best;
Composite, Component Video and HDMI digital video. Depending on the
particular source unit you are using, you may have the option of more than
one of these video connections. Whenever possible
connect as
many as possible
as the processor in your Maestro M8 will identify
the best format and route that to your main HDMI, or Zone 2
composite video outputs. Because of the higher bandwidths in-
volved with video signals, the quality of the interconnect cables
you choose is important especially with HDMI. We recommend
using HDMI cables labeled as High Speed with Ethernet to en-
sure the appropriate bandwidth for the system when transporting
high bandwidth content such as 1080p or 4k video. Video con-
nections should always be made with cables specifically designed
for video. Don’t be tempted to grab some extra audio RCA cables lying
around. Without the proper 75 ohm cabling, your picture quality will suffer
from smear, ghosting or noise. It is always a good idea to make certain that
the video and audio signal cables are routed away from any power wiring.
Video Transcoding
To simplify your installations, the Maestro M8 provides video transcoding
which routes the Composite signals, and Component video signals to the
HDMI outputs of your Maestro M8 regardless of video bypass selection. As
we mentioned before it is best to connect all analog and digital audio/video
signals form your source units to your Maestro M8 to allow proper use of
the Main and Secondary.
