What can I connect to my Slingbox?


What kinds of audio and video connections can be used with the Slingbox? All kinds! The table below shows how many devices can be connected to each Slingbox model.

Note: With the Slingbox AV, PRO, Classic and US100-100 models, you switch between sources in SlingPlayer. Also note that the Slingbox TUNER is designed to be connected only to your analog cable and that the SOLO is connected to only one video source at a time.

The mini-A/V input can be attached to a video camera.

The
S-video input can be used separately for another device without sound, like a security camera.

If you use the set of composite inputs for one device, the S-video input can be used separately for another device without sound, like a security camera.

SOLO

Although  the SOLO is designed to be connected to one device, we provide 3 different types of video inputs so that a variety of different video sources can be connected.

PRO

You can also use the "pass-through" feature of your Slingbox PRO. This passes the connection from your A/V source through the Slingbox and then back to your television. Just make sure that you connect the same cable type for the output back to your TV that you used for the input to the Slingbox. For example, if you used the S-Video connection to your Slingbox, make sure that you also use an S-Video connection to your TV.

See the important note below.


Important:

This port is for the Slingbox HD Connect cable only. Its physical design is not intended to accommodate an HDMI connection. To connect the Slingbox PRO to an HD source, use an HD Connect cable, available separately from your retailer.
