The following table gives details of the composite video outputs:

Video input for a TV or monitor.

Composite video recorder inputs.

The composite video connections should be made with phono

connectors, and high-quality 75

Ω

 screened cable. These are the

same cables as used for digital audio, and suitable cables are

available from Meridian. We do not recommend using audio

cables, which do not have adequate shielding or the correct

impedance, or cables intended for UHF applications, as these

do not provide adequate shielding in the 1-30MHz region.

On-screen display

If your surround system includes video or a television the 541

can add a text overlay to the video signal, to provide additional

information about its operation in the form of a textual on-screen

display (OSD). In normal operation this repeats the information

provided on the front panel display. During calibration the on-

screen display provides additional guidelines to help you

perform the calibration sequence.

The on-screen display automatically locks to an NTSC, PAL, or

SECAM signals, and it requires an input signal to operate. The

video circuits in the 541 are of extremely high quality, and

passing the video signal through the surround controller will not

affect its quality.

Communications connections

The Comms sockets should be used to interconnect any other

Meridian 500 series equipment in the system.

The RS232 connection is for future expansion, to allow the 541

Surround Controller to be interfaced to a computer. For further

details contact Meridian.
