About video outputs

SX80 has two HDMI video outputs and one DVI-I output. All
outputs can be used simultaneously.
Typically, the outputs are used for monitors or other displays.
You can also connect a recorder.
Connecting monitors
You can connect up to three monitors to the codec
simultaneously, and set up the codec to distribute the layout
on all connected monitors.
For a full description of each settings, refer to the description
in the ► System settings chapter.

Introduction Web interface
1. Set the number of monitors in your setup
Use the Video > Monitors
monitors in your setup.
We recommend to set this configuration to Auto. Then the
codec will automatically detect if a monitor is connected
to a connector, and thereby also determine the number of
monitors in your setup.
The other options allow you to fix a single, dual or triple
monitor setup; and to dedicate one monitor for presentations.
2. Set a role for the different monitors
Use the Video > Output > Connector n > MonitorRole
to define a role for each monitor. Each connected monitor
must have a unique role.
The monitor role indicates how content (persons,
presentations, other content) will be distributed on the
connected monitors.
Choose monitor roles matching your monitor setup. Some
examples:
• Set all monitor roles to Auto, and let the codec assign
roles based on which connector is used.
• Fix the role of your main monitor to First, and keep the
other monitor roles Auto.

3. Choose on which monitor to display messages and
indicators from the codec
Use the UserInterface > OSD > Output setting to define which
monitor the messages and indicators on-screen shall be
displayed on.
If you set this configuration to Auto, the codec will determine
which monitor to use based on the number of monitors and
their role.
Note that Connector 1 (HDMI) is default.
4. Set the monitor resolution and refresh rate
The codec will read the native resolution of a monitor and
output this if possible. Typically, this will give the best
possible picture for the connected monitor.
If auto-detection of resolution and refresh rate fails, you
have to set resolution manually using the
Connector n > Resolution setting.
As default, there is audio on only one of
the HDMI outputs: audio is switched On on
Connector 1, and Off on Connector 2. If you want
audio on Connector 2, refer to the TC Console
application that is introduced in the
customization of video and audio
