to distribute the video to each input.
* Use an interface compatible with the format of the video being
distributed.
* Make sure that the same type of video signals are input to each V-
440HD. If, for example, you are grouping S-Video signals in SD
IN Channel 4, make sure that the signal formats are the same, even
though the video may have the same field of view.

Connect via MIDI.
Connect the MIDI OUT/THRU of the master V-440HD to the
MIDI IN of the slave V-440HD with MIDI cable as shown
above. Connect the 3rd and later V-440HD units using the same
method.
* In you experience latency with the control signal as the result of
cascading multiple units, use a MIDI signal splitter to distribute
the signal from master unit.

Connect multiple displays.
The video output from the master and slaves are distributed as
described in "Slave Numbers and Screen Positions" on this
page. Connect the HD OUT connector or RGB connector on the
