REAR PANEL CONNECTORS
Figure 2.  Rear Panel Connectors
1. RS-232C: For authorized service use.
2. DVI: Connection to digital video signals from a computer or any Pelco device with DVI output, especially PMVC4 and PMVR2 multiviewers.
3. RGB (VGA): (Loop through is disabled; for future use.) Connection to RGB (VGA) output of a computer or any Pelco device with VGA output, 
especially PMVC4 and PMVR2 multiviewers. 
4. PC Audio (loop through): Stereo mini jack input to be used in conjunction with the RGB input from a DVR or a multiviewer. Audio loops 
through the stereo mini jack output.
5. Component: Auto-detecting component video inputs (Y/Pb/Pr or Y/Cb/Cr) for connecting to the component output jacks of a DVD player.
6. USB: Feature is disabled; for future use.
7. Audio (loop through): Mono/stereo RCA audio inputs. (Each input is mono, but together they are stereo.)
8. S-Video (loop through): Connection of S-Video signals from external sources such as VCRs or DVD players. Video loops through the four-
pin DIN S-Video output.
9. Video 2 (loop through): Input connections from DVD players or time-lapse VCRs. Video loops through the BNC video output.
10. Video 1 (loop through): Input connections from DVD players or time-lapse VCRs. Video loops through the BNC video output.
11. AC Power: Power receptacle, which can be connected to a 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz source.
NOTES: RGB is also referred to as VGA or PC connector in the video security market. We use the term RGB in this manual, in the menu, and on 
the remote control. The RGB connector is a D-sub 15-pin female plug. RGB is analog but provides a clear, sharp picture. It can carry either 
standard or HDTV formats.
Component is not commonly used in the video security industry. It uses three RCA cables: red, green, and blue for better color separation and a 
superior picture over composite. Component is an analog format that can carry standard and high-definition video and is most commonly found 
on DVD players. To receive audio, you must connect the DVD output to the audio input.
DVI (Digital Video Interface) provides the best picture. It is used in Pelco products such as Endura
, PMVR2, PMVC4, PL outputs, DVD players, and 
satellite boxes. Since the signal received and monitor are both digital, no conversion occurs to degrade the signal. Pelco recommends using 
multiviewers (PMVR2, PMVC4) with the 500 Series monitors using DVI. The 500 Series uses a DVI-D interface, so DVI-I cables will not work. 
DVI can carry either standard or HDTV formats.
