NOTES:

•Input only sync signals (no video signals) on the sync pins (13 and 14).

•For component video, use the R (R-Y) and R return pins (pins 1 and 6), G (Y) and G return pins (pins 2 and 7), and B (B-Y) and B return pins (pins 3 and 8). For S-video, use the R, R return (C-chroma), G, and

G return (Y-luma) pins.

•For composite video, use the G pin and the associated return pin. For additional genlocked video signals, use the R, B, and associated return pins.

CMonitor connector — Connect a video monitor to this 15-pin HD connector for buffered, high resolution video loop-through.

DRS-232 connector — Connect a serial communications port to this 3.5 mm, 3-pole captive screw connector for bidirectional RS-232 communication.

Wire the connector as shown in figure 5.
