7 INSTALLATION 

CONNECTING TO DIGITAL VIDEO DEVICES 

Digital video sources and output devices may be connected to the SDI to Analog converter through 

the BNC type connector on the back panel. SDI signals are very high frequency carrying signals, and are 
sensitive to cable quality and length. SDI signals suffer from the “cliff effect” - where the signal looks 
good after traveling a certain cable length, but when the line is extended just a few inches more - the 
signal crashes completely, without any warning. Keep the length of the cables at the absolute minimum 
required!
