Connecting a Camcorder

When an HD video interface module is connected

When an HD serial digital interface module is connected

i.LINK cables between 80 cm and 3.5 m (2.5 to 11.5 ft) are recommended.

• The frequency precision of the reference output signal is within 50 ppm. When

building a system that includes devices such as a camera with a Gen Lock
input, be sure to test it thoroughly before use.

• The color frame of the program output signal does not reflect the color frame

sequence of the reference output signal.

• If video or audio is not output or signal noise occurs when connected to another

DV device, the problem can often be resolved by reconnecting the cables or
turning the DV device or the unit off and then on again.
