Video Connections
The TGM-100 has two video channels (Analog and Digital),
which may be connected in several combinations, depend-
ing on system design. Analog outputs include Compo-
nent, S-video, Composite and Component video and are
grouped together on the rear of the unit. Digital outputs
include HDMI and DVI and are also grouped together.
Typically, video is connected to an A/V Receiver, a TV or
a video distribution controller to broadcast the video to a
number of different rooms around the home. Any of the
above connection types may be used for this purpose, de-
pending on the video distribution device being utilized.
HDMI Video Connections
HDMI (digital) Video provides the best video display. HDMI
can be connected directly to a TV, or can be connected
to an A/V Receiver with HDMI switching capabilities, then
to the TV. If connecting the HDMI output directly to a TV,
make sure to connect the Digital or Analog Audio outputs
to an A/V Receiver or Multi-Room Controller as described
previously. If connecting the HDMI output to an A/V Receiv-
er that supports audio over HDMI, additional Audio connec-
tions are unnecessary. HDMI video has a relatively short
range and should not normally be used for whole-house
distribution systems.
Note: HDMI carries digital audio information as well as
video information. See Digtal Audio Connections for ad-
ditional information
