Video Output To The Main Screen And Osd; Zone Specific Turn-On Triggers - Emotiva DMC-1 User Manual

This flexibility in video conversion allows the DMC-1 to switch ALL of your video sources,
regardless of type, making it an ideal central video signal controller. The DMC-1 can also
switch HDTV signals.
Example: - Typically you will connect your video display (Television or Projector) to the Com-
ponent Video outputs of the DMC-1. With the up conversion capability, any of the video sources
using Composite Video or S-Video inputs would automatically be converted to Component
Video. Keep in mind that it is ALWAYS preferable to use the best type of input you have
available, so if Component Video is not available on the video source component and you can
choose between Composite Video or S-Video, choose S-Video.
One final note about the video switching on the DMC-1 is that there are no video input capa-
bilities for the Tuner, Tape, or Phono sources, so the video output will remain on the last
selected video source until another input with video source capabilities is selected.

Video Output to the Main Screen and OSD

When an audio/video component is selected, the audio will play in your system and the video
will be switched to a video input of your TV monitor. You must have the TV connected in order
to see the On Screen Display (OSD).

Zone Specific Turn-On Triggers

The "Main Zone" and "Zone 2" trigger terminals each supply 12 VDC whenever that zone is
turned on. This can be used to turn on power amplifiers equipped with a 12 V trigger input.
The two middle terminals marked as relay contacts are connected together only when the
Main Zone is on and an input is selected for which the trigger output is enabled. The OSD
INPUTS Menu can be used to select which inputs have the trigger output enabled or disabled
Use all standard safety precautions and make sure all the equipment is disconnected before
making any connections.
