General Notes

camcorders, laserdisc players, satellite tuners, broadcast tuners/receivers, character
generators (CG's), video-equipped computers, and audio devices (such as a CD player
or tape deck).
MXPro sends the output signal to a recording device (such as a VCR) and/or a Program
monitor.
A second monitor, Preview, can be used to display preview images of all input sources.
The Preview monitor also displays the on-screen controls you use to operate MXPro.
As stated above, MXPro designates your input sources as A, B, C, and D. However, if
you examine the jacks on the MXPro rear panel you'll see they are labeled 1, 2, 3, and
4. Initially, there is a direct correlation between the letter and number designations:
jack 1 corresponds to source A, jack 2 corresponds to source B, jack 3 to source C, and
jack 4 to source D. You can re-route inputs to other channels. For more information, see
"Route" beginning on page 77.
To use headphones, connect them to the Headphone jack, which is located on the right
end of the unit, near the power switch. The jack accepts standard stereo headphones
with a miniature plug — however, output is monaural (a mix of right and left chan-
nels), not stereo. If your headphones have a large plug, you need an adapter to switch
it to a miniature plug.
Many VCR's have an input selector switch that routes between Line (or AUX, EXT, A/V,
or S) and Tuner. Here are some examples.
AUX SC TUNER S-VHS
SOURCE SELECT INPUT SELECT
TV / LINE
If you have such a switch on a device, set the switch to Line.
Some VCR's have more than one VIDEO IN jack (for example, one might be Composite
and the other S-Video). Set the switch to match the jack you are using as the connector
to MXPro.
When connecting video and audio outputs from source devices, most of the time you'll
probably connect to corresponding jacks on the MXPro rear panel. For example, if you
connect the video to the VIDEO IN jack labeled "1," you'll most likely connect the
audio to the AUDIO IN jack also labeled "1." However, this is not a requirement. You
might use non-corresponding jacks — for example, you might connect the video from
one source to VIDEO IN 1 but connect the audio from the same source to AUDIO IN 2 if
you want to control the audio and video separately.
