* For PoCL, pins 1 and 26 change to +12V DC power, while pins 13 and 14 change to +12V DC power return.
CAUTION!
Never plug a non-PoCL device (camera, cable, extender, etc.) into an EDT board that
has the PoCL jumpers in the “enabled” position. Doing so will cause a short – indicated by a red
LED (which may be obscured by your backpanel) on the back of the board, near the associated
connector – and may damage your equipment.
