Multipurpose Rooms Setup

When setting the CineLink in Multipurpose rooms 232A (forthcoming), 345A, and 345B IMP stations, DO NOT detach and/or disconnect the HDMI cable from the rear of the CineLink. Connect an HDMI adapter (Figure 1, a.k.a. turnaround) to the end of the CineLink's HDMI cable, then connect the IMP station auxiliary HDMI cable to the other end of the HDMI adapter (Figure 2). An HDMI adapter should always be stored in one of the CineLink case storage pockets - preferably the large pocket so that it doesn't fall out when accessing the CineLink remote control.
