If a system has empty input or output board slots (which are numbered for additional inputs and outputs), the slots can be
used to expand the system. For information on adding or replacing boards, see "Appendix E
Boards" on page 217.
Note: The Audio Insert/Extract (expansion) Board is also available. It provides audio insertion and extraction
functionality and is used in conjunction with HDMI, DVI, DXLink Twisted Pair, and DXLink Fiber Boards (see
"Expansion Boards" on page 23).
Input and Output Board Connectors
The connectors on the input and output boards are the attachment points for source and destination devices that connect
to the system. Viewed from the rear of the enclosure, the input connectors (for attaching sources) are on the left, and the
output connectors (for attaching destinations) are on the right.
Input and output channel numbers correspond to the connectors and are located as follows:

Connectors and Signal Types
Connector
HDMI
DVI
DXLink (RJ-45)
(Signal support depends on
the type of DXLink Twisted Pair
Transmitters and Receivers
used.)
DXLink Fiber (LC Duplex)
(Signal support depends on
the type of DXLink Fiber
Transmitters and Receivers
used.)
SC Fiber (SC Optical)
(Signal support depends on the
type of DGX Fiber Transmitters
and Receivers used.)
* For a DVI connector to support embedded audio on an HDMI signal, the EDID must be updated.
Note: An analog stereo audio signal from a pluggable 3-position terminal block connector can be inserted
from an Audio Insert/Extract Board onto a DVI or HDMI signal (replaces any existing embedded digital audio
signal). The Audio Insert/Extract Board also works in conjunction with DVI and HDMI signals on DXLink
Twisted Pair and DXLink Fiber boards.
