Audio is not switched through the HDMI connections on the external HSM-2 switcher nor are
any of the other video inputs "transferred" over to the HDMI output. If you do not connect any
HDMI inputs, there will be no output on HDMI. If you only connect one of the two HDMI inputs,
there will only be a video signal on the HDMI output when that source is selected. This may mean
that you need to use both HDMI and another video connection to your television to bring in all the
video sources switched through the various video inputs present on DMC-1.
Video Up Conversion
The Emotiva DMR-1 has advanced video DSP circuitry and coding which allows the ultimate flexibility
in video signal processing. With these attributes, the DMC-1 can easily allow the following:
a) Up conversion from Composite Video inputs to S-Video and Component Video outputs.
b) Up conversion from S-Video inputs to Component Video outputs.
c) Down conversion from S-Video inputs to the MON2 video output jack.
This flexibility in video conversion allows the DMC-1 to switch ALL of your video sources, regardless
of type, making it an ideal central video signal controller. The DMR-1 can also switch HDMI signals.
Example: - Typically you will connect your video display (Television or Projector) to the Component Video
outputs of the DMC-1. With the up conversion capability, any of the video sources using Composite Video
or S-Video inputs would automatically be converted to Component Video. Keep in mind that it is ALWAYS
preferable to use the best type of input you have available, so if Component Video is not available on the
video source component and you can choose between Composite Video or S-Video, choose S-Video.
One final note about the video switching on the DMC-1 is that there are no video input capabilities
for the Tuner, Tape, or Phono sources, so the video output will remain on the last selected video
source until another input with video source capabilities is selected.
Video Output to the Main Screen and OSD
When an audio/video component is selected, the audio will play in your system and the video will
be switched to a video input of your TV monitor. You must have the TV connected in order to see
the On Screen Display (OSD).
Zone Specific Turn-On Triggers
The “Main Zone” and “Zone 2” trigger terminals each supply 12 VDC whenever that zone is turned
on. This can be used to turn on power amplifiers equipped with a 12 V trigger input.
The two middle terminals marked as relay contacts are connected together only when the Main
Zone is on and an input is selected for which the trigger output is enabled. The OSD INPUTS Menu
can be used to select which inputs have the trigger output enabled or disabled
Use all standard safety precautions and make sure all the equipment is disconnected before making
any connections.
