DeckLink video and audio output connections
All of the video and audio outputs of DeckLink cards are active all of the time and the only choice
you need to make on some models is between component (Y,R-Y,B-Y) analog video, S-Video or
composite NTSC/PAL analog video as they use shared connectors.
The SDI, HDMI and component (Y,R-Y,B-Y) analog video outputs support HD and SD video.
S-Video and composite analog video do not support high definition video and so you will not
see video on these outputs when working with HD video.
S-video is supported on some HD models of DeckLink cards and may require the use of an
inexpensive S-video adapter cable. See the connection diagrams for S-video towards the end
of this manual.
