Note This release is "HD-Ready." This means it accepts HD video inputs but scales the
output to standard definition resolutions (720x480 or 720x576) or less.
How is Video
connected? Figure 5 shows the video input connectors on the rear panel. Select
the option that matches your video input. If you have a Standard
Definition input connector, use S-Video if possible. S-Video generally
produces higher-quality input and correspondingly better compressed
output than Composite.
Standard Definition Inputs
• SVID – one connector (S-VID) with four pins.
• Composite – one pin connector (COMP IN) for video.
High Definition Inputs
• Component – three cables (Y, Pb, Pr) with BNC connectors.
• HDMI – High Definition Multimedia Interface that transmits
uncompressed digital data. The appliance autodetects and
supports both YUV (commonly used by cameras or video players)
and RGB (commonly used by computers) over HDMI.
• SDI – BNC input connector for:
• SD-SDI – Standard Definition Serial Digital Interface is
typically used for broadcast-grade video. Meets SMPTE 259M.
• HD-SDI – High Definition SDI at bit rates of 1.485 Gbits/sec
provides broadcast-grade video with greater fidelity and higher
resolution options. Meets SMPTE 292M.
• HD/3G-SDI – High Definition SDI to process 1080p at bit
rates of 2.97 Gbits/sec. Meets SMPTE 424M.
Video Format The options for Video Format vary depending on how the input video
is connected (see above).
• SVID – NTSC (North America, Japan), PAL (Europe, Asia,

Video Aspect Ratio Video Aspect Ratio is the ratio of the width of the image to the height
of the image. Standard TV images generally use an aspect ratio of 4:3.
Set this value to match the video input source, either 4:3 or 16:9.
