Quad-Link 3Gb/s SDI I/O for supporting 4K workflows or MADI I/O (mutually exclusive with one another) are
optional.

About This User Guide
A printed copy of the LA-5300 Quick Start Guide was included with your LA-5300 and will walk you through the
rear panel connections, setting up and configuring network control, and basic I/O and program routing. A PDF of
the QSG is available for download from our website at https://www.telosalliance.com/Linear/LA-5300.
This manual will provide more detailed information, including an in-depth description about specific functions
and controls.
Note
The LA-5300 is also available in a decode and monitor-only version which omits upmixing, watermarking,
and AC-4 encoding (which includes loudness control). Accordingly, some menus, screens, and controls will
look different from those seen here.
