Setting Up a VENUE S6L System for the First Time 11
Connecting a Monitor
A DVI connector is provided on the S6L control surface back panel to view the external screen.
To connect a monitor:
1 Connect an HDMI or DVI-D-compatible monitor cable from the DVI port on the back panel of the S6L control surface to the
DVI port on your monitor.
2 If the monitor has a touchscreen function, enable it by connecting a USB cable from one of the USB ports on the back of the S6L
control surface to the USB port on the monitor.
Connecting a USB Keyboard and Mouse
The S6L control surface provides four USB 2.0 ports (two on the front and two on the back) to connect a USB keyboard and mouse.
To connect a USB keyboard and mouse:
Connect the keyboard and mouse/trackball to USB ports on the front or back of the S6L control surface.
How to Proceed
After unpacking your system and making basic connections, proceed to Activating S6L System Components at Avid.com.
VGA monitors are not compatible with the S6L control surface. Only connect a VGA monitor to the VGA port on your E6L engine
when restoring system software. Make sure the VGA monitor is not connected to the E6L when powering up your S6L system.
If you use a DVI-to-HDMI cable, make sure the DVI cable is DVI-D 24+1 spec
Never connect a bus-powered USB hub to your S6L system.
