Connecting the 888 I/O and Speakers

Connecting the Display Monitors

Connecting the Remaining Avid Devices
If you have an eight-channel audio interface board you must connect
the audio device (888 I/O) to allow the sync signals to be present
when you start the Avid software.
You should also connect the speakers to make sure the audio splitter
and speakers function properly. The setup guide for your specific
Avid Xpress system explains how to connect just the speakers to the
Meridien I/O box or the 888 I/O and speakers to the Meridien
I/O box.
Depending upon the options you order with your Avid Xpress system,
you receive one or two high-resolution monitors. The two monitor
connections on the Meridien display controller board are designated
BOOT for the Bin monitor and EDIT for the Edit monitor (see
Figure 5-4). Arrange your monitors so the Bin monitor is on the left.
When only one monitor is ordered, it is used as both a Bin and Edit
monitor and must be plugged into the Boot connection on the
Meridien display controller board (see Figure 5-4).
If you use two display monitors, they should be the same size and
vendor brand to minimize configuration difficulties. As of this
writing, the recommended monitor size is 21 or 17 inches, and should
be autosynchronous or multisynchronous.
