Configuring the Inputs
As you become familiar with the MM-410/AVM-510A you will learn how flexible it is. The MM-
410/AVM-510A lets you select a variety of settings to fit your specific needs. However, an important
thing to remember is the format of the three signal inputs: Input A:, Input B:, and an external reference
(see Figures 2-2 and 3-2). All inputs automatically switch between 525/60 and 625/50 formats.
•
Input A:  Single loop through composite (NTSC or PAL) input signal (CPST-1).
•
Input B:  Single loop through, configurable composite (NTSC or PAL), 3-wire component, or
S-video input signal (CPST-2, SMPTE/EBU, BETA, GBR (RGB), MII).
•
The external reference is a switchable loop-through composite 525/625 studio reference timing
input (optional).
You can select Input A:, Input B:, or both Input A: and Input B: using the Input button on the front
panel. You can also select an External Reference (Ext Ref) by pressing the Blue (2nd) button and
then the Field Sel button (Field Select for the AVM-510A).
Refer to Chapter 5, “Front Panel Operation,” for more information about configuring the
MM-410/AVM-510A using the front panel buttons.
