HP Z820 Video I/O
The only video hardware you must provide are a sync generator, VTR, HD/SDI-ready broadcast monitor
and patch panel (if desired). Some of the following steps might not be necessary depending on your
hardware configuration. Connection procedure:
1 Connect the output of the sync generator to the top Ref Loop port of the AJA K3G-Box.
2 Connect the Input port of the NVIDIA SDI card (the one next to the DVI port) to the bottom Ref Loop
port of the AJA K3G-Box.
3 Connect the Fill (outer) port of the NVIDIA SDI card to the Input port of the AJA HD5DA distribution
amplifier.
4 Connect one of the OUT ports of the distribution amplifier to an SDI IN port of the broadcast monitor.
5 For RTD or Stereo, connect another OUT port of the amplifier to the Link A input port of the VTR.
6 For Stereo or RTD, connect the Key (middle) SDI port of the NVIDIA SDI card to the Link B input port
of the RTD VTR.
7 Connect the RS-422 port of the AJA K3G-Box to the VTR control port.
8 If not using RTD, connect SDI OUT A, SDI OUT B, SDI IN A and SDI IN B ports of the VTR to the SDI1,
SDI2, SDI3 and SDI4 ports on the front of the AJA K3G-Box.
9 Connect the SDI IN 1/A, SDI IN 2/B, SDI OUT 1/A and SDI OUT 2/B plugs of the AJA cable to the SDI1,
SDI2, SDI3 and SDI4 ports of the AJA Kona 3G card.
10 Connect the SDI IN 1/A, SDI IN 2/B, SDI OUT 1/A and SDI OUT 2/B plugs on the other end of the AJA
cable to the SDI1, SDI2, SDI3 and SDI4 ports on the back of the AJA K3G-Box, as illustrated.
11 Connect the AJA control cable to the AJA Kona card and to the corresponding port on the back of the
AJA K3G-Box.
