Video Output Connections
Video outputs consist of Zone Outputs and Source Loop Outputs. Use high
quality video interconnect cables for all video connections.
Video Zone Output Connections: Composite
Default Tracking Mode
In the Default Tracking Mode, there are two pre-configured video outputs for each
zone. The first output is configured for a VIA! Touch Panel, the second output for
a TV/monitor. When a video source is selected in a zone, both of these video out-
puts will automatically route the selected source video to that zone. The audio will
also be automatically routed to the zone.
The default Composite video zone outputs are:
• Zone 1: Video Outputs 1 - 2
• Zone 2: Video Outputs 3 - 4
• Zone 3: Video Outputs 5 - 6
• Zone 4: Video Outputs 7 - 8

As shown in the diagram below, not every zone will have both a VIA! Touch Panel
and a TV/monitor, therefore both Zone Video Outputs may not always be used.
