Connecting Your FC-4001 Format Converter / TBC

6 Connecting Your FC-4001 Format Converter / TBC

You can use your FC-4001 to convert a composite video, s-Video, component

video (YUV or RGB/S), or SDI signal to

two SDI outputs and either:

Component video, or Composite video and s-Video simultaneously. For

example, as the illustration in Figure 3 shows, an RGBS output

that connects to

a plasma display.

To connect the FC-4001 Format Converter / TBC, do the following

1. Connect the following sources to the FC-4001, the:

 Composite video source (for example, a composite video player) to the

CV INPUT BNC connector

 s-Video source (for example, an s-Video player) to the Y/C INPUT 4p

connector

 SDI source (for example, a digital video player) to the SDI INPUT BNC

connector

2. Connect the component video INPUT BNC connectors, G/Y, B/B-Y,

and R/R-Y to either a YUV or an RGB video source, as follows:

 A Betacam video player to R/R-Y, G/Y, and B/B-Y, or

 A camera (RGBS) source to R/R-Y, G/Y, and B/B-Y and SYNC

3. Connect the following acceptors to the FC-4001, the:

 Two SDI OUTPUT BNC connectors to two serial digital video acceptors

(for example, two displays: SDI Display 1 and SDI Display 2)

 Four BNC OUTPUT connectors: CV/R/R-Y, G/Y, and C/B/B-Y, and

SYNC to a video acceptor (for example, a plasma display)

4. Connect the LOOP BNC connector to the next FC-4001 Genlocked unit

(if required) and release the Term button for looping

5. Connect a Genlock source to the SYNC BNC connector.

6. Connect a PC or other controller, if required (see section 6.1).

7. Set the dipswitches (see section 6.2).

8. Connect the power cord

(not illustrated in Figure 3).

You can operate the FC-4001 Format Converter / TBC via the front panel

buttons and/or RS-232 serial commands.

1 When only one output is required, connect that output of the FC-4001, and leave the other outputs unconnected

2 Alternatively, you could connect composite video or s-Video or component video (Y, B-Y, and R-Y, or RGB)

3 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your FC-4001. After connecting your FC-4001, switch on its

power and then switch on the power on each device

4 Pushed in terminates the input. Release when the input extends to another unit

5 We recommend that you use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine
