3.6.3 CONNECTING DEVICES
Figure 15
1. Connect downstream video devices to the appropriate output connectors in the VIDEO
OUT section, whether
SDI , Component , Y/C (BNC) or Composite . Please note that the
latter two formats may require RCA (cinch plug) or S-video (4 pin mini-DIN) to BNC
adapters, and also that both of these connection options support output at SD
resolution only.
a. SDI
–
Attach SDI connectors to the uppermost row of BNC connectors in the
VIDEO OUT group, labeled 1, 2 and AUX.
Hint: If your equipment supports SDI connections, this is your best quality option.
b. Component – Attach your device to the second, third and fourth BNC
connectors (Y, Pb and Pr) in the connector columns labeled 1-3 .
c. Y/C
–
If your S-Video equipment and cabling has the usual 4-pin mini-DIN
connectors, you will need an ‘S-Video to dual BNC’ adapter. Attach the Y
(luma) connector of your device to the second analog BNC connector row
(labeled Pb at far left in the VIDEO IN group). Attach the C (chroma) connector
to the third analog connector (labeled Pr).
d. Composite - Attach the device’s connector to the first (top) analog connector.
