Installation
Connecting video
Connect your ECM to an appropriate display
(such as a TV or projector) using the HDMI output.
Connecting audio
Your ECM has 2 different audio output modes: Analog mode and
digital mode. Each audio output mode has 2 different connections
available.
Analog audio output – balanced XLR
Use the balanced XLR connectors if you have an amplifier equipped with balanced XLR audio inputs.
Connect the balanced XLR audio outputs from your ECM to the balanced XLR audio input on your ampli-
fier. Observe correct connection on right and left audio channel.
Analog audio output – unbalanced RCA
Use the unbalanced RCA connectors if your amplifier is not equipped with balanced XLR audio inputs.
Connect the unbalanced RCA audio outputs from your ECM to the unbalanced RCA audio input on your
amplifier. Observe correct connection on right and left audio channel.
Digital audio output – HDMI
Use the HDMI connector if you wish to connect to an A/V receiver equipped with an HDMI output (for
connecting a display) or if you plan to get audio out from your connected display. Please refer to the user
manual for your receiver or display for more information on how to enable HDMI audio and connecting
a display to your A/V receiver.
This connection supports multichannel audio when connected to equipment capable of decoding multi-
channel audio signals. (such as an A/V receiver) When connected directly to a TV or to a 2-channel audio
system, the ECM can down mix audio to a 2-channel PCM signal.
Digital audio output – S/PDIF
Use this connection if your A/V receiver does not have an HDMI output for connecting to a display.
Multichannel audio will be decoded and downmixed to 2 channel PCM when using this output.
