Connections
The XtremeRGB-Ex8 has two 26 Way D- type connectors.  Either connector can be used to input video signals using a 16-way splitter cable (provided).  The splitter cable consists of 16 BNC sockets numbered 1-16, connected to a 26-way D connector.  To connect a video input, connect the Composite/S-Video Luma and Chroma as indicated in the table below.

Video Pass-through
By connecting a second BNC16 Input Cable (available from EMS) to the second XtremeRGB-Ex8 connector it is possible to daisy-chain the video signals to another device.  In this case the video will normally be terminated on the downstream device; therefore, the inbuilt terminations on the XtremeRGB-Ex8 should be disabled by removing the on-board links.

Installing Multiple Cards
Up to 16 cards can be installed in a system providing a maximum of 128 capture channels.
