About video inputs

SX80 has three HDMI video inputs, one DVI-I input, and one
combined S-video/composite video input.
Typically, the inputs are used for cameras and computers.
You can also connect other types of video and content
sources.
Connecting a camera
Connect a camera to a video input. The codec supports
maximum three cameras. Typically, cameras are connected
to the HDMI inputs.
Always use Connector 1 (HDMI) for the main camera.
If you have a Cisco TelePresence SpeakerTrack 60 camera
assembly, connect its two cameras to Connector 1 (HDMI)
and Connector 2 (HDMI).
Refer to the SX80 installation guide or the camera
documentation how to connect the camera to power,
Ethernet and/or camera control.
Connecting a computer
Connect a computer to a video input in order to share content
locally or with conference participants. The codec supports
two computers simultaneously.
Typically, computers are connected to Connector 3 (HDMI)
or Connector 4 (DVI-I). To get audio when using DVI-I, the
computer must also be connected to one of the codec's
Audio line in ports (Euroblock) .
*
Cisco offers a presentation cable that connects the codec's
*
input and Audio line in port (Euroblock), to the computer's
mini jack connectors.

About video and content quality
Use the Video > Input > Connector n > Quality
to optimize quality with respect to motion or sharpness.
Typically, you should choose Motion when a large number
of participants are present or when there is a lot of motion in
the picture. Choose Sharpness when you want the highest
quality of detailed images and graphics.
The default value is Motion for Connector 1, Connector 2
and Connector 5; and Sharpness for Connector 3 and
Connector 4.
