S-Video Input
The 4-pin connector on the rear of the unit, labeled S-Video, is used for S-Video
(Y/C) signals, such as from an S-VHS or Hi8 device. It is normally connected to the
S-Video output of a playback VTR using a standard 4-pin to 4-pin S-Video cable.
Some JVC ‘industrial’ type S-VHS players use a 7-pin connector for their S-Video
output. To interface with such machines, a 7-pin to 4-pin adapter cable is required
from the manufacturer of the VTR.
Component Analog Video Input
These three BNC connectors, labeled CAV-Y In, R-Y In, and B-Y In, are used to input
the signals from analog component devices, such as Betacam® VTRs.
If component analog video input is not needed, the CAV-Y In connection can be
reassigned as a second composite video input with the CAV-Y Composite option in the
Video Setup menu (see Chapter 5, “Menus: Video Setup”).
Composite Video Input
This BNC connector, labeled Composite In, is used to feed composite
1 Vp-p 75Ω video to the DPS-475/575. In Synchronizer mode, the input video signal
must be direct color or monochrome (such as from a satellite feed or live camera); in
Timebase Corrector or auto switching mode, the input signal can be connected to the
video output of a heterodyne source such as a camcorder or VTR.
Serial Digital Input
This BNC connector, labeled SDI In, accepts serial digital ITU-R BT.601 video and
embedded audio data at a rate of 270 megabits per second.
Serial Digital Reclocked Output
This BNC connector, labeled SDI Reclocked, provides a digitally-regenerated copy of
the SDI Input, with no processing applied.
Serial Digital Outputs
These BNC connectors, labeled SDI Out and SDI Out-2, provide the processed and
synchronized serial digital ITU-R-BT.601 video and embedded audio, 270 megabits-
per-second output.
Composite Video Output
These BNC connectors, labeled Composite Out and Composite Out-2, provide
processed, synchronized/timebase-corrected versions of any of the input signals. If the
unit is set to Bypass mode, the Composite Input is bypassed directly to the Composite
Out output (the left-most of the two connectors), providing an unprocessed signal.
Composite Out-2 operates as normal (providing processed output from the selected
video input). The Composite Input is automatically bypassed to the Composite Out
output when the unit is off.
Component Analog Video Output
These three BNC connectors, labeled CAV-Y Out, R-Y Out, and B-Y Out, provide
processed, synchronized/timebase-corrected analog component video output.
