3. Installation
Making Monitor Connections
3 Connect the other end of the cable to a reference signal. Be sure the incoming signal is from a
stable source. The signals can be:
PAL
NTSC
Tri-level sync (1080i 50/59.94/60 and 720p 50/59.94/60)
4 On all unused video reference connections, be sure to terminate the loop-through by installing a
75
Ω
BNC terminator.
5 Connect to the ‘VIDEO REF 2’ input connection, as described in Steps 2 through 4.
Making Monitor Connections
The monitor connections on the rear of the NV8288 and the NV8288-Plus enable the monitoring of
outgoing signals. The monitor connections forward signals from the monitor card, which receives
one signal from each output card in the router. By connecting monitoring equipment to the monitor
connections, the quality of signals being distributed from the router can be verified.
If connecting two NV8288-Plus routers together, only one router is connected directly to the moni-
toring equipment. Monitor expansion connections are then made between the primary router and
the secondary, connected router. This enables the monitoring equipment to see both routers through
the monitor connections on the primary router. (See
Monitor Expansion Connections on page 45.)
Local Monitor Connections
There are two monitor connections: ‘OUT 1’ and ‘OUT 2’, located on the rear of the router. Each
connection can be configured to match a level set up in the router control system. Depending on
how your levels are configured, ‘OUT 1’ and ‘OUT 2’ can each monitor one signal type: SD-SDI
or SWB. For more information on levels, see the UniConfig User’s Guide.
