Appliance Setup

Step 1. Connect Output to a Video Monitor

Optional: MPEG appliances only. Connect a video monitor to the Video Out BNC, S-Videoor SDI connector on the rear of the VBrick (Slot2). Make sure the TV monitor is set to Video mode. To see if the TV monitor is in the correct mode, you can connect the video source directly to the TV monitor. Also connect the Left and Right Audio Out connectors to the monitor or to amplified external speakers.

Step 2. Connect an Audio/Video Input Source

An audio/video cable allows the VBrick appliance to receive audio/video from your input source (a camera, VCR, DVD, etc.).
