About Sharing a Source
Channels 1 through 4 and channels 5 through 8 can share source video. Using this feature, you can assign the video on channel 1
to channels 2 through 4 and the video on channel 5 to channels 6 through 8.
When shared, a single source video is assigned to multiple cross-point buttons. To share, go to the input format display area of
the Input menu and select [Shared Input].
* Only the source of the previous adjacent channel can be shared. Therefore, when sharing the source on channel 1 with channels 2 through 4,
[Shared Input] must be selected for each channel from 2 to 4.

You can connect a source device for synchronizing.
* You can send (thru-out) the synchronizing signal from the THRU connector.

The V-800HD supports the external clocks shown below. To synchronize with an external clock, select [Reference] in System menu
and set the value to [External].
