CONNECTING THE SVU200 3-1. CONNECTING THE SmartVu LE The Smart Vu LE can be set up with up to 5 different sources, and will drive up to 1 digital DVI source, and 4 analog computer/video sources simultaneously. The versatility of the Smart Vu LE will allow for almost any event configuration and cater for all your projection needs. The intuitive rear panel of the Smart Vu LE will let you set up for the first time quickly and easily. Here is an example of a typical Smart Vu LE setup.
3-2. THE SVU200 REAR PANEL Overview The Smart Vu LE rear panel is equipped with 5 universal digital and analog inputs. Inputs #1 through #4 (4) are universal analog inputs. Inputs #5 shares a DVI-D signal and a universal analog signal (plug the shipped Analog Way DVI/DB15 adaptor cable to use DVI-D and analog signals simultaneously). The Main and Preview (6) outputs will allow for the Smart Vu LE high resolution digital and analog signals to be viewed on screen.
Inputs #1 to #4 UNIVERSAL COMPUTER & VIDEO INPUTS: Universal Inputs accept computer sources (RGBHV, RGBS, and RGsB (SOG) signals), standard TV/VIDEO sources (Composite video, S.VIDEO), Component video (YUV, RGBS & RGsB (SOG)), and HDTV sources (480p, 720p & 1080i). HD15 : 1 x Universal Analog input on female HD15 connector. COMPUTER SOURCES: The device accepts the following computer signals : RGBHV, RGB/S, and RGsB on inputs 1-4 and DVI input 1.
RGBS VIDEO SOURCES: This signal is widely used in broadcasting and is available on European DVD player. The RGB/S signal is transmitted with 4 coaxial cables, and also has a better picture quality than COMPOSITE and S.VIDEO signals. The RGB/S connectors are usually BNC connectors for Broadcasting equipment, and SCART connector for DVD players. For inputs 1-4 : connect a HD15 to 4 x BNC cable between the HD15 connector of the device and your RGB/S source.
