Sources are connected to the Input Panel located at the back of the projector.
Input Panel allows one image processor board and up to 4 input cards to be inserted. The input cards are hot
swappable i.e. they may be plugged in and out while the projector is running. The image processor should only
be replaced when the projector is off or when it is in standby mode.
There are 5 option Input cards available:
• High-Definition Multimedia Interface/Twin HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
• Analog BNC
• Dual SD/HD-SDI (Serial Digital Interface)

the same card type. There may be up to 2 active inputs being displayed at any time, either from one card or
from 2 cards. These 2 inputs can be routed to outputs or to the main or PIP video image. NOTE: See
Specifications for more details.
