6. Set the S–1 DIP switches on the DBX 3500 Digital Video Mezanine board (or ABX 3500 Analog Video Mezanine
Board) to select the correct reference signal type (Figure 2–31) and desired switch point (Figures 2–32 and 2–33).
The switch point is adjustable in 1/2 line increments from minus 1 line to +2.5 lines from “nominal.”

7. Replace the cover. Mount the unit in an equipment rack near the Saturn Processing Units.
8. Connect the audio reference signal (as determined during Step 5 above) to the appropriate connectors. If the recom-
mended AES/EBU reference is used, it will be connected to the 3–pin “AES REF IN” connector. For a drawing
of the rear panel, see page 2–47.
For a discussion of alternative reference methods, see page 2–49.
9. Connect a video reference signal to the video “REF” input (the REF connector along the top edge of the rear panel).
Although any constant APL color test signal may be used for video reference, the preferred reference signal is ana-
log black burst.
†
“Nominal” is defined as follows:
NTSC 32 microseconds into line #10 either/both fields
PAL 32 microseconds into line #6 and/or line #319
Sony 16 microseconds into line #5 either/both fields
EUREKA 16 microseconds into line #5 and/or line #630
