Configuring the Inputs
As you become familiar with the MM-410/AVM-510A you will learn how flexible it is. The MM-
410/AVM-510A lets you select a variety of settings to fit your specific needs. However, an important
thing to remember is the format of the three signal inputs: Input A:, Input B:, and an external reference
(see Figures 2-2 and 3-2). All inputs automatically switch between 525/60 and 625/50 formats.
•
Input A:

Single loop through composite (NTSC or PAL) input signal (CPST-1).
•
Input B:

Single loop through, configurable composite (NTSC or PAL), 3-wire component, or
S-video input signal (CPST-2, SMPTE/EBU, BETA, GBR (RGB), MII).
•
The external reference is a switchable loop-through composite 525/625 studio reference timing
input (optional).
You can select Input A:, Input B:, or both Input A: and Input B: using the Input button on the front
panel. You can also select an External Reference (Ext Ref) by pressing the
Blue
(2nd) button and
then the Field Sel button ( Field Select for the AVM-510A).
Refer to Chapter 5, “Front Panel Operation,” for more information about configuring the
MM-410/AVM-510A using the front panel buttons.
