Io XT Installation and Operation Guide — Cabling the System
Cabling the System
Typical System Your system may differ depending on VTRs, audio monitoring, and video monitoring.
1. If desired, connect your house reference sync to the Io XT Ref/LTC connector (BNC).
The second Io XT Ref Loop connector (if used in Pass through mode) can be
connected to the VTR or terminated with a 75-ohm terminator. If instead using LTC
timecode input, connect to the Ref/LTC input.
2. Connect an HDMI Video Monitor to the Io XT HDMI Out connector. Or instead, use
the Component Analog Video Out BNC connectors to go to an analog monitor.
3. Connect a 9-pin DE-9 machine control cable between your VTR’s RS422 control
port and the Io XT RS-422 machine control connector.
4. Connect two SDI cables between Io XT and your digital VTR (Digital Betacam etc.):
one from Io XT SDI In to the VTR SDI Out, and one from Io XT SDI Out to the VTR SDI
In. The Io XT SDI connections have embedded audio so the VTR must be
configured accordingly.
5. Use a Tascam-style audio breakout cable to connect stereo output for audio
monitoring.
