Y OUT, B-Y OUT, R-Y OUT These connectors pro-
vide Component (RGB) Video outputs. You can
use these to connect a video reference monitor
or VTR that has Component Video inputs.
CV IN This input is used to get Composite Video
from an external source into AVoption. Con-
nect this to your video source.
This connector can also be used in a video loop
with the USD. The output of your VTR can be
connected to the Video In connector on the
USD, then the Video Out connector on the USD
can be connected to this CV IN cable. You might
use this connection to “window burn” with the
USD.
Y IN, B-Y IN, R-Y IN These inputs are used to get
Component Video signals from an external
source into AVoption.
To connect a BNC connector:
■ Slide the end of the BNC connector over the
matching BNC connection, and twist the BNC
connector clockwise until it locks into place.
To remove a BNC connector:
■ Grip the BNC connector you want to remove
and twist it counter-clockwise until it comes
loose.
USD Connections
The following illustrations show USD connec-
tions. The Universal Slave Driver User’s Guide pro-
vides more specific information about this pe-
ripheral.
Connecting House Sync or
Black Burst
In most AVoption setups, three black burst or
“house sync” connections are required:
• To VIDEO REF in on the USD
• To a video input on your VTR (a video refer-
ence input if available)
• To the GL IN connector from the ABVB cable
Read the documentation for your black burst
generator for more information.
Many NTSC video monitors include outputs
that recreate a video input signal. You can
connect the CV OUT from the ABVB to an
NTSC monitor, then connect an output
from the monitor to your VTR to record
from AVoption.
