Connecting and Disconnecting SDI BNC Cables
To prevent damage to components from electrical discharge follow these steps:
• Connect power rst on all devices.
• Power on all devices.
• Connect BNC cables.
To disconnect:
• Disconnect BNC cables.
• Power down and disconnect power from devices.
If using a wireless video receiver we strongly suggest using an SDI Video Ground Path Isolator
(available at ShopFSI.com and ShopFSI.eu) and powering the receiver from a separate power
source than the monitor. Use of wireless video receivers can cause dangerous ground loop issues
that can damage connected equipment like monitors. Using a ground loop isolator and powering
from a separate power source will help keep downstream equipment protected.
