In software, each group of three input channels is called a device. The
DT3131 and DT3131-ISO boards provide one device (device 1), the
DT3132 and DT3132-ISO boards provide two devices (devices 1 and
2), and the DT3133 and DT3133-ISO boards provide three devices
(devices 1, 2, and 3).
When you configure the device driver for the board, you specify the
name (alias) of the board. The device numbers for that board are then
appended to the alias. For example, if you named the DT3133 board
MY3133 , the alias for the first device is MY3133-1, the alias for the
second device is MY3133-2, and the alias for the third device is
MY3133-3.
Table 2 summarizes how the software handles the input
channel numbering.
DT3133 and
DT3133-ISO 9 monochrome or
composite inputs For monochrome or composite signals,
connect to the VID0, VID1, VID2, VID3,
VID4, VID5, VID6, VID7, VID8, and/or
VID9 inputs of connector J2.
3 S-video inputs and
6 monochrome or
composite inputs

For S-video inputs, connect the Y signals
to the Y0, Y1, and/or Y2 inputs of
connector J2; connect the C signals to the
C0, C1, and/or C2 inputs of connector J2.
For monochrome or composite inputs,
connect to the VID0, VID1, VID3, VID4,
VID6, and/or VID7 input of connector J2.
a. Currently, Data Translation does not supply a cable that supports more than one S-video input
or an S-video input and monochrome/composite inputs together. If you need more than one
S-video input or S-video and monochrome/composite inputs, you must design your own
cable.
