Channel type connection guidelines. When connecting signals to the instrument,
use the following guidelines:
Use REF (ELSW) channels to connect non-SDI signals
Use HREF (Re lay) channels to connect SDI signals
You c an connect non-SDI signals to HREF (Relay) channels. However, there will
be a sync interruption when primary/backup source switches occur.
Recommended tools. The ECO8020 uses HD BNC connectors. Due to the
tight spacing between c onnectors, it is recommended that you use a HD BNC
installation/removal tool to connect or disconnect cables on these connectors.
