6 Connecting Your FC-4001 Format Converter / TBC
You can use your
FC-4001
to convert a composite video, s-Video, component
video (YUV or RGB/S), or SDI signal to
1
two SDI outputs
and
either:
Component video,
or
Composite video
and
s-Video simultaneously. For
example, as the illustration in Figure 3 shows, an RGBS output
2
that connects to
a plasma display.
To connect the
FC-4001
Format Converter / TBC
, do the following
3
:
1. Connect the following sources to the
FC-4001
, the:
Composite video source (for example, a composite video player) to the
CV INPUT BNC connector
s-Video source (for example, an s-Video player) to the Y/C INPUT 4p
connector
SDI source (for example, a digital video player) to the SDI INPUT BNC
connector
2. Connect the component video INPUT BNC connectors, G/Y, B/B-Y,
and R/R-Y to either a YUV or an RGB video source, as follows:
A Betacam video player to R/
R-Y
, G/
Y
, and B/
B-Y
,
or
A camera (RGBS) source to
R
/R-Y,
G
/Y, and
B
/B-Y and
S
YNC
3. Connect the following acceptors to the
FC-4001
, the:
Two SDI OUTPUT BNC connectors to two serial digital video acceptors
(for example, two displays: SDI Display 1 and SDI Display 2)
Four BNC OUTPUT connectors: CV/
R
/R-Y,
G
/Y, and C/
B
/B-Y, and
S
YNC to a video acceptor (for example, a plasma display)
4. Connect the LOOP BNC connector to the next
FC-4001
Genlocked unit
(if required) and release the Term button for looping
4
.
5. Connect a Genlock source to the SYNC BNC connector.
6. Connect a PC or other controller, if required (see section 6.1).
7. Set the dipswitches (see section 6.2).
8. Connect the power cord
5
(not illustrated in Figure 3).
You can operate the
FC-4001
Format Converter / TBC
via the front panel
buttons and/or RS-232 serial commands.
1 When only one output is required, connect that output of the FC-4001, and leave the other outputs unconnected
2 Alternatively, you could connect composite video or s-Video or component video (Y, B-Y, and R-Y, or RGB)
3 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your FC-4001. After connecting your FC-4001, switch on its
power and then switch on the power on each device
4 Pushed in terminates the input. Release when the input extends to another unit
5 We recommend that you use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine
