Figure 4. Connecting to RGB, HD Component Video, S-video, or Composite
Video Inputs 1 through 4
B Virtual inputs (inputs 5 through 19) —
Connect standard definition component video,
S-video, or composite video sources to these
BNC connectors. The 15 BNC connectors for the
virtual inputs are arranged in columns of three.
In each column, you can connect inputs as
follows (see figure 5):
• Up to three composite video inputs (can be plugged into any connector or
connectors in the column)
• One S-video input and, optionally, one composite video input
NOTE: The S-video must always be connected to the top two BNC
connectors. The Y connector must be on top, the C connector in the middle.
A composite video source can be connected to the bottom BNC connector.
• One interlaced component video source (must be connected to all three BNC
connectors in the column).

Figure 5. Virtual Input Connection Examples
You can configure these virtual inputs for the desired signal types using the MGP Series
Control Program (see the control software help file) or SIS commands (see the
Remote
Configuration and Control section beginning on page 42. They cannot be configured
via the front panel.
NOTE: When you configure a virtual input as S-video (using two input connectors)
or component video (using three input connectors), pressing any one of its
equivalent buttons selects the input. For example, if you plug an S-video source
into input connectors 8 and 9, pressing either the 8 or the 9 input button selects
that input.
