Y/C input Matrox Orion supports a maximum of four Y/C inputs with the
DBHD44-TO-13BNC cable.
To connect a Y/C camera to Matrox Orion, connect the
BNC-TO-SVHS adaptor cables to your cable. Then attach your
camera to the BNC-TO-SVHS adaptor cables, using the
following cable information.
Refer to Appendix B: Technical information for additional

Connecting external
devices to the video
input connector
A video source, such as a camera, can also be attached to the
video input connector. It is important that when connecting a
video source to the video input connector, you do not connect an
additional video source to the VID_IN1 pin on the expanded
video I/O connector. The video input connector is connected to
the VID_IN1 line without a multiplexer. The signal path for
these connectors is illustrated in the block diagram at the
beginning of Chapter 1.
