testing purposes. Connect the outer braid of the RG59 cable to this connection.
Video In/Out
The VT2 has a separate RG59 connection for the video. Connect via an RG59 twist on connector.
Aud/Audio
The Kit has support for stereo audio. If you have mono, you can use either the Left or Right Audio, as
long as you use the same selection each end.
Gnd DC
This is the negative DC connection

The VT1 allows for connecting the Video signal to an RG59 plug, however this can obstruct the cover without
an elbow joint. You can connect the video using the Vid + and Gnd Vid/Aud on the connector block.
This RG59 can be used to connect a test monitor on the receiver module. If you connect a test monitor to the
RG59 on the transmitter module however (only on the VT1), the video will appear distorted as it is designed as
an input.
