HDMI Out
The High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed, all-digital interface that
transmits digital video and eight channels of digital audio. HDMI is a bit-serial interface that carries
the video content in digital component form over multiple twisted-pairs. The HDMI interface standard
supports limited cable length as compared to SD and HD SDI. The use of cables over 10m (30 feet) is
not recommended. Connect the HDMI output to your video monitor.
Audio Out
The Audio Out connector provides two channels of balanced analog audio. This connector is fitted
with a pluggable terminal block that accepts bare wire leads. Wires can be inserted into the small
round holes. Depress the orange tab to release them.
Follow the legend to connect the Ground (G), Positive (+), and Negative (-) connections for each signal.
Ch 1 corresponds to the left channel in a stereo system, and Ch 2 corresponds to the right channel.
If connecting to an unbalanced (single-ended) destination, such as a consumer speaker amplifier, with
shielded coaxial style audio cable, connect the center conductor to the Positive (+) terminal. Then
connect the outer conductor to both the Ground (G) and Negative (-) terminals. Analog reference
levels can be configured from the BrightEye Control application.
