Step 1: Connect Compass S2™ to Output Devices
Connect one of the two available “Main” video outputs to your projector and the “Main” audio output to a set of amplified speakers. Note
that the second main video output may be connected to a local display monitor if the projection screen is not easily viewed by the
operator.
Connect the “Preview” video output to a computer monitor and the “Preview” audio output to a second pair of powered
speakers. (Note: The preview video output timing is identical to the main video output. If the main video output is set to 1280 x 1024,
the preview monitor must be capable of that resolution.)
Step 2: Connect Input Sources to Compass S2™
Compass S2™ has eight universal video inputs that accept composite (NTSC & PAL), S-video, component, and computer video
sources. Connect each type of video input source to Compass S2™ as indicated in the following table:
