PASSIVE LOOPING
Passive looping is accomplished when two or three monitors are connected in series (see
Figure 4) and a looping signal is sent through the IN and OUT connectors of one monitor
and to the next in series. Unless you want to view the monitor(s), none of them need to be
turned on for passive looping to function.
