Determining the video connection option
Use the following guidelines to determine the best video connection for the subscriber’s
home entertainment system. To determine the available video inputs on the TV, check the
manual supplied with the TV or the TV itself.
The IPC4100 offers the following video outputs:
Connection Type TV Type Description
HDMI HDTV and SDTV
HDMI offers higher quality HD video than
component video.
HDMI provides 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 IPC4100 HDMI
connector. If DVI is used, a separate audio
connection to the TV will be needed.
Video (Composite) SDTV only Use the composite video output (video) connection on
the TV.
Connecting audio
When connecting to a home theater receiver, depending on its inputs, you can use the
following IPC4100 audio outputs:
Connection Type Description
Digital audio optical (S/PDIF) If the receiver supports it, use the digital audio optical
(S/PDIF) audio output to deliver Dolby Digital audio to a
Dolby Digital home theater receiver.
Audio is available via HDMI and no further audio
connection is required.
Baseband Audio L and R If the audio receiver does not support Dolby Digital, use
the baseband audio l and r outputs to connect to the
audio receiver.
In most cases, the optical S/PDIF or coaxial digital RCA output offers better audio quality and
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.
