Monitoring
If you are fortunate enough to have SD/HD SDI monitors then you can monitor Inputs 1 to 5 directly from the
loop through outputs, if however you are inhibited by the cost of these monitors, you can use composite
monitors such as the Datavideo TLM 433.
The six built in format standard converters allow you to down convert your inputs to composite or component,
for easy monitoring.
The diagram below shows the recommended set up for monitoring Inputs 1 to 5 plus the auxiliary (AUX)
Output.
The auxiliary output can display any of the seven crosspoint channels, the preview channel or the program
channel (see
Assigning a signal to the Auxiliary Output)
, so it gives maximum versatility to your
monitoring set up. With this set up it would be easy to monitor the DVI input, or quickly switch to preview or
program output monitoring.
The loop through outputs of Inputs 1 to 5 are connected to the format standard converter inputs 1 to 5. The
AUX 2 output is connected to format standard converter input 6.
The format standard converter outputs are set to composite; and they are connected to two TLM-433 monitor
banks.
The optional Datavideo TB-10 Tally Box can provide tally indication to the TLM-433 monitor banks; there is a
tally LED above each monitor.
