resolution video group inputs. If one of the inputs is synced to a

blackburst generator, connect that source to Video Input 9.

DVideo Input 11 through Video Input 14 —

S-video inputs — Connect an S-video source to a pair of female BNC connectors. Connect luma (Y) and chroma (C) as shown at right.

Composite video inputs — Connect a composite video source to the Video (top) connector in a pair of female BNC connectors as shown at right.

NOTE: The switcher must be set to accept video inputs 11 through 14 as either S-video or composite video. Composite video is the

default. See “Selecting Composite Video or S-video” on

page 39 to change the setting.

Connect composite video displays to these female BNC connectors.
NOTE: If the input tied Video Output 7 or Video Output 8 is S-video, the
switcher encodes the input to composite video.
If the tied input is composite video, the switcher passes the
signal through to the output with no processing.

FS-video outputs (Video Output 9 and Video Output 10) —

Connect S-video displays to these female BNC connectors.

NOTE: If the input tied Video Output 9 or Video Output 10 is composite

video, the switcher decodes the input to S-video. If the tied input is S-video, the switcher passes the signal through to the output with no processing.

GPass-through outputs (Video Output 11 and Video Output 12) —

Connect S-video or composite video displays to these female BNC connectors. Connect S-video Y and C or composite video as shown at right.

NOTE: The switcher passes the tied input to these outputs with no

signal processing; an S-video input is output as S-video, a composite video input is output as composite video.
