䡵 ABOUT EXTERNAL CONTROL
This multi-format monitor has two external control terminals. One is the MAKE terminal, which controls the monitor by connecting
the terminals with many functions to the ground (GND) terminal. The other is the RS-232C terminal, which allows the monitor to
be controlled by a PC via serial communication.

2. Short-circuit the desired INPUT terminal.
3. Disconnect the INPUT terminal selected above. The signal input is actually changed after the disconnection has been
completed.
NOTE : When more than two terminals are selected (short-circuited) from INPUT A through INPUT F, the signal input is not
changed.
To control INPUT A through INPUT F, we recommend using the interlock switch, which turns off a switch when another
switch is turned on.
