Hi, everyone! I was really excited to find this site and am very excited about contributing as much as I can. My question: I recently implemented a Symon digital signage solution at one of our sites. The boards all have satellite feeds going to them. Additionally, there is a threshold alert built in to the Symon logic so an audible alert sounds when there are X agents available. Ideally, we do not want sound from the live video feed. We want that muted and the volume on the TV turned up so the audible alert can be heard. My onsite contact is telling me that there is no sound control on the satellite receiver. Has anyone else run into this problem? Am I overcomplicating this?! Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

I'm not a Symon expert, and as such I don't know how they've connected the Satellite receiver. However, I'd guess that it's a scart socket or similar. If this is the case then you can modify the cable and remove the sound wires, getting the result you desire.

Regards,
Darryl

Hi Glenn,

3	LH Audio - Out
4	Audio Common, 0 Volts
5	Blue Return, 0 Volts
6	LH Audio - In
