Using the Avid Adrenaline

14

n

Do not connect a tri-level sync to the Ref connector on the SD Video I/O board 
or connect the reference sync to the tri-level sync connector on the 
Avid DNxcel board. The proper sync signal must be connected to the correct 
connector for the sync to work.

Video Reference IN (REF)

 — Sync signals are generated from the 

incoming black burst generator (BBGen) or from a house sync. If there is 
no sync connected to REF, an internal sync is used. 

n

By default, the sync signal is generated from incoming video whenever you 
capture analog video. Depending on the configuration of the audio and video 
equipment attached to the Avid Adrenaline, you might need to use a BBGen or 
house sync; for example, when you perform an Insert Edit.

Incoming video signal

 — When you capture video, a sync signal is 

generated by the Avid Adrenaline from the incoming video: component, 
composite, SDI, S-Video, or DV. 

When you capture analog video and audio, the Avid Adrenaline generates 
a sync signal from the incoming video, but it does not sync your video to 
your audio. You must sync these externally to the Avid Adrenaline.

Word Clock Out signal

 — The Word Clock Out signal is primarily used 

to sync an audio device with the Avid Adrenaline’s internal sync. When 
the Avid Adrenaline generates a sync signal from a video input, an audio 
device can use the Word Clock Out to sync to the Avid Adrenaline. 

Incoming analog audio

 — When you capture audio only, the Avid 

Adrenaline does not sync to the incoming audio. An external sync should 
be used in this case.

c

When you capture audio using the AES/EBU inputs on the Avid 
Adrenaline, always use AES/EBU channels 1 and 2 first. The AES/EBU 
1/2 connector syncs to the incoming digital signal. If you connect to the 
AES/EBU 3/4 connector only, the internal sync on the Avid Adrenaline 
does not sync with the incoming digital audio signal and the audio data 
will be corrupted. Use the AES/EBU 3/4 connector only if you need 
4 channels of AES/EBU audio.
