Using Your 7508 CV/YC to SDI Converter 

 

Using Your 7508 CV/YC to SDI Converter 

You can use your 

7508

 CV/YC to SDI Converter

 to convert professional 

quality composite video or s-Video (as the example in 

Figure 2

 illustrates) 

to one or two SDI video outputs. 
To convert composite video or s-Video to up to 2 SDI video outputs, do the 

following

1

1.  Connect a composite video source (for example, a VCR) to the CV BNC 

INPUT connector. 

2.  Connect an s-Video source (for example, a camera) to the Y/C 4-pin 

INPUT connector. 

3.  Connect both SDI outputs to SDI acceptors as follows (when only one SDI 

output is required, use either of the SDI outputs of the 

7508

, and leave the 

other SDI output unconnected): 

 

Connect the SDI OUT 1 BNC connector to an SDI acceptor 

(for example, an SDI monitor) 

 

Connect the SDI OUT 2 BNC connector to the second SDI 

acceptor (for example, an SDI monitor) 

4.  Set the DIP-switches, as section 

 5.2

 describes 

5.  Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the 

adapter to the mains electricity. 

The composite video

2

 or s-Video

3

6.  Connect a PC (if required) to the RS-232 port (see section 

 signal converts to SDI at both SDI OUT 

1 and SDI OUT 2. 

 5.1

). 

                                                        

1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your 7508. After connecting your 7508, switch on its power 
and then switch on the power on each device 
2 To choose the CV input, set the Y/C (DIP 1) OFF 
3 To choose the Y/C input, set the Y/C (DIP 1) ON
