Appendix D: Digital Audio Switching (SPDIF)
The V8 can also be used as a matrix switcher for SPDIF digital audio. Use a Digital Coaxial cable to connect a video
source such as a DVD player with a Digital Coaxial output to the V8's Input as shown below. Digital audio outputs
will typically be sent via RG-6 coaxial cable from the head-end to surround sound receivers located throughout the
house. Use an F-to-RCA barrel connector to terminate the RG-6 cable to Digital Coaxial connecting cables.
Note: Maximum coaxial wire run is 300 feet.
