SDI Out 1 and 2

SDI Out 1 and 2 output two identical copies of the same signal. Choices are SD SDI, HD SDI (1.5 Gb/s 
HD), or 3G (3 Gb/s HD SDI) video. Models BEM-1F and BEM-2F provide one electrical SDI ouput (BNC) 
and one Fiber Optic SDI output. Connect to video destinations such as a router, production switcher, 
or broadcast monitor. 

Composite Out

This analog video output BNC (labeled Cpst/AES Out) provides composite PAL or NTSC and follows the 
SD output when SD is selected on the SDI output. For example, if you have SD selected for your Mode 
in the Output Menu, and Composite Video selected in the Cpst/AES control, you will get an analog 
composite copy of the SD Output on the Cpst Out BNC. When HD is selected for the SDI output, the 
composite output provides black.

Ref In (Reference In)

The Ref In BNC accepts 1 V P-P Composite Video PAL, NTSC, or HD Tri-Level Sync reference. The video 
outputs will be zero-timed to the reference, or you can adjust the output timing to anywhere in the 
television frame using the Timing Menu in the BrightEye Mac/PC software. A reference is not required 
for operation.
