Video Passthrough
By connecting a second BNC16 Input Cable (available from EMS) to the second XtremeRGB-Ex8
connector it is possible to daisy-chain the video signals to another device. In this case the video will
normally be terminated on the downstream device; therefore, the inbuilt terminations on the Xtreme
EX8 should be disabled by removing the links as shown in the following table:

Installing Multiple Cards
Multiple cards can be installed in a system providing a large number of capture channels. Combinations of
Xtreme capture cards in the same machine are supported by the driver.
To control the order in which the driver uses the cards, it is recommended when installing multiple cards
that the J5 links on the XtremeRGB-Ex8 are
configured.
The illustration below shows the jumper link
settings for up to 32 cards in a single system. When two cards have the same link settings, their order is
determined by the PCI bus:
Indicates link fitted
Indicates Link not fitted
