Reference Signal Connection
A digital reference signal must be connected to the switcher. Please note:
• Connect the digital reference signal to any of the 64 BNC input connectors on the rear of
the frame.
• Configuration of the reference signal (for inputs other than
1
) is performed with the
menu system. Refer to the section “ BNC Configuration ” on page 6–4 for complete
BNC (input) configuration instructions.
• Always use a stable signal that is low in jitter, and that preferably originates from a
reliable digital test signal generator.
• The switcher regenerates color black from the assigned reference input. Therefore, as a
recommendation, if you select digital
COLOR BARS
as your reference, you can satisfy
the reference requirement, automatically generate black and also provide the (typically)
required color bar input — all in one signal.
Monitor Connection
Connect either the PGM 1 or PGM 2 BNC output on the rear of the frame to your serial digital
program monitor.
Please note:
• If you are using a serial digital monitor, connection is direct.
• If you are using an analog monitor, one of three D-A converters is required:
~ Serial Digital to NTSC
~ Serial Digital to PAL
~ Serial Digital to Analog Component

Operating
Tip
For convenience, use input 1 . This input is factory-configured as
reference input. In addition, input 1 is the required reference
connection for steps taken in the section “ Preliminary Functional
Check ” on page 3–14.
Note If you elect to use analog color black as your reference (based on your
facility’s requirements), you must use an external A-D converter. For

your sales representative or Ross Video Limited.
