Ref Loop

The Reference Loop BNCs accept an output timing reference signal. The reference

can be analog SD blackburst or HD tri-level sync. Examples of permissible

reference video input signals:

•  525 Color Black
•  625 Color Black
•  1080i Tri-level Sync
•  720p Tri-level Sync

The 2 BNCs are a passive loop: one BNC is for the Input, and the remaining BNC

can be connected to another piece of equipment in the reference chain or

terminated.
