Description
Component
(YPbPr)
HDTV
and
SDTV
The YPbPr outputs provide component video, the most widely supported
HD video connection.
HDMI HDTV
and
SDTV
• HDMI offers higher quality HD video than component video.
• HDMI providess both video and audio connections. If you use HDMI, no
separate audio connection to the TV is required.
• HDMI is compatible with DVI. If the TV has a DVI input, you can use an
HDMI-to-DVI converter cable or adapter to connect to the IPC1100
HDMI connector. If DVI is used, a separate audio connection to the TV
will be needed.
Video
(composite)
SDTV
only
If the TV does not have an HDM or a component input, use the composite
video (video) output.
RF SDTV
only
If the TV only has a coaxial RF input, connect it to the IPC1100 RF out
connector.
Audio Connection Options
When connecting to a home theater receiver, depending on its inputs, you can use the following
IPC1100 audio outputs:
Connection Type Description
Digital audio optical
(S/PDIF)
• If the receiver supports it, use the digital audio optical (S/PDIF) output to
deliver Dolby Digital audio to a Dolby Digital home theater receiver.
• If the receiver supports HDMI, audio is already present and no further audio
connection is required. For RF output, no further audio connection is
required.
Baseband
Audio L and R
If the audio receiver does not support SPDIF, use the baseband AUDIO L and R
outputs to connect to the audio receiver.
Connect the stereo audio cable to the
audio l and r connectors on the IPC1100 and the audio left
and right connectors on the TV. If the equipment supports it, use the optical
S/PDIF output instead of
the
audio l and r outputs. In most cases, these outputs offer better audio quality, including support
for 5.1 Surround Sound. The cabling diagrams show sample audio/video (A/V) connections to an audio
receiver, where the receiver functions as an A/V router.
When connecting to an audio receiver, reference its installation instructions for directions on
connecting to baseband and digital (S/PDIF) audio ports.
Note: The VCR and TV receive their A/V signals from the currently selected input device on the audio receiver.
This is important when the subscriber has another A/V device such as a DVD player, a secondary VCR, a CD
player, or other electronic component. We recommend connecting the TV to the monitor output so on-screen
menus for the receiver can be displayed. (In many cases, the receivers themselves have interactive on-screen
menus.)
