Using Video Sync
The VIDEO INPUT connector receives video sync
signals (black burst or color bar), which the D24 uses
as a timecode reference when the timecode source is
set to TC IN+VIDEO. See “Selecting a Timecode
Source” on page 135 for more information.
The VIDEO OUTPUT connector transmits the
video signal received at the VIDEO INPUT when the
VIDEO 75Ω ON/OFF switch is set to OFF.
The VIDEO 75Ω ON/OFF switch is used to terminate the video signal received at the
VIDEO INPUT connector. When set to OFF, the video sync signal received at the
VIDEO INPUT is transmitted by the VIDEO OUTPUT connector. When set to ON,
nothing is transmitted by the VIDEO OUTPUT connector. See “Terminating BNC
Video Sync Distribution” on page 150 for hookup examples.
