data. A Client monitor can be connected to any of the following video outputs on the SD
video I/O board (see
“SD Video I/O Board Connectors” on page 18

Most video decks provide a video output connector. You can connect a monitor to the deck
to see the video sent to the Avid Nitris or the video the Avid Nitris sends to the deck. See the
documentation that came with your video deck for more information.

The video you see in the monitor connected to the deck might not indicate there is a
video signal going to the Avid Nitris.
Qualified VGA Outputs
When using an RGB analog signal with a VGA monitor use a 60 Hz vertical refresh rate.
You might need to adjust your horizontal and vertical display size on some monitors, and
with some format combinations to view the entire picture.
The following are supported HD formats for Avid Nitris using standard VGA monitors:
•
1080i/59.94
•
1080p/29.97 (transmitted as 1080PsF/29.97)
•
1080i/50 (marginal on some VGA monitors, see the following note)
n
A 50 Hz vertical rate is the lower limit on some monitors. Consult your VGA monitor
specification for compliance with 50 Hz vertical refresh.
•
1080p/23.976
•
1080p/24
