Selecting the input video signal
This unit accepts three different types of video input
signals, selected by the video input selector switch as
follows:
• To select a composite video signal input to the
VIDEO IN connector, select the left position (VIDEO
IN).
• To select the signal input to the CAMERA (26-pin)
connector, select the center position (CAMERA).
There is a setup menu operation to select between
using analog (Y/R-Y/B-Y) or digital signals. It is
also possible to set the unit to determine the type
automatically from the type of camera connected.
For details of the setup menu operation, see Section 6-3
“Setup Menu Settings,” item “CAMERA” in the <VIDEO
1> menu (page 6-3).
• To select serial digital video and audio signals input
to the SDI IN connector, select the right position
(SDI IN).
The SDI format includes audio signals, but there is a
setup menu operation to determine whether to use
these as the audio input, or to use separate analog
inputs.
For details of the setup menu operation, see Section 6-3
“Setup Menu Settings,” items “INPUT 1/2” and “INPUT
3/4” in the <AUDIO> menu (page 6-4).
