What you still need
The device alone does not make an evening. What follows here comes from the connectors of your setup — for the devices whose manual is in our archive, with a page number.
There is no manual for this device in our archive, so nothing is listed here. A guessed connector spec would be worse than none.
Deliberately without prices: a cable price is the most short-lived figure a page can carry. This says WHAT is missing, not what it costs.
