HD MediaBox Rear Panel
USB 2.0 to PC
This allows HD MediaBox to be connected to a PC using the included
USB cable. Once connected, the PC will detect the internal HDD (if fitted)
as an external USB Mass Storage Device and files can be managed like
any other HDD (see
section 4.3.1
).
Infra Red In/Out for room-to-room Remote Control
If HD MediaBox is not placed in sight of the Remote Control, this port
can be used to connect to an IR distribution system (see
section 4.3.4
).
Composite Video Output
This is the most basic of video connections and is Standard Definition
only.
S-VIDEO Output
S-Video offers a higher quality signal than Composite for compatible
equipment but is Standard Definition only.
Analog Audio Output (left/Right)
All audio on this port has benefited from a 24bit/192KHz upsampling
DAC and can carry Dolby ProLogic and ProLogic II formats (to a
compatible decoder).
Coaxial Digital Audio Output
Optical Digital Audio Output
HDMI (v1.1) Digital A/V Output
The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) can carry video and
embedded audio, and provides the best quality video and audio output
from HD MediaBox. If you are connecting to a display device that has an
HDMI terminal, this is the recommended option to use. This allows direct transmission of the video information from
HD MediaBox to the display without any digital to analogue conversion. Always use high quality HDMI cables,
especially for longer cable runs.
An HDMI > DVI cable can be used to connect HD MediaBox to a compatible DVI-equipped device.
VGA Output
This port can be configured in the setup menus to output 2 signal formats. These offer superior quality over
Composite and S-Video, and can send High Definition signals to compatible equipment.
• RGBHV
(often referred to as VGA)
• YPbPr
(often referred to as Component Video)
RJ45 Ethernet Network Connection
Allows HD MediaBox to be connected to a computer network for playing media files stored on shared folders
or network servers. 10 and 100-BASE-T networks are supported; however 100-BASE-T is recommended as the
bandwidth is more suited to common HD MediaBox tasks.
USB 2.0 X 2 for Mass Storage Devices
Allows HD MediaBox to be upgraded using a USB thumbdisk and expanded by attaching external USB drives
for additional media storage.
Power Adapter Input
Please use the 12v auto-sensing unit supplied with HD MediaBox.
