5Using Your 7508 CV/YC to SDI Converter

You can use your 7508 CV/YC to SDI Converter to convert professional quality composite video or s-Video (as the example in Figure 2 illustrates) to one or two SDI video outputs.

To convert composite video or s-Video to up to 2 SDI video outputs, do the following1:

1.Connect a composite video source (for example, a VCR) to the CV BNC INPUT connector.

2.Connect an s-Video source (for example, a camera) to the Y/C 4-pin INPUT connector.

3.Connect both SDI outputs to SDI acceptors as follows (when only one SDI output is required, use either of the SDI outputs of the 7508, and leave the other SDI output unconnected):

•Connect the SDI OUT 1 BNC connector to an SDI acceptor (for example, an SDI monitor)

•Connect the SDI OUT 2 BNC connector to the second SDI acceptor (for example, an SDI monitor)

4.Set the DIP-switches, as section 5.2 describes

5.Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity.

The composite video2 or s-Video3signal converts to SDI at both SDI OUT 1 and SDI OUT 2.

6.Connect a PC (if required) to the RS-232 port (see section 5.1).

1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your 7508. After connecting your 7508, switch on its power and then switch on the power on each device

2 To choose the CV input, set the Y/C (DIP 1) OFF 3 To choose the Y/C input, set the Y/C (DIP 1) ON
