This example uses the following:
• Digital BetaCam outputs are routed through AES/EBU inputs of DUA II to DS input channels 1-4 (ADAT).
• DS output channels 1-4 (ADAT) are routed through AES/EBU outputs of DUA II to the Digital BetaCam inputs.
• DS output channels 1-4 (ADAT) are routed through analog outputs to the monitoring system.
(Alternate monitoring is provided by the front panel monitoring selection of DUA II).
• The Mykerinos card (via VIDEO/TC bracket) and the Video Deck are connected to the Video Ref. generator.
Note that each device should be connected to the video generator with its own cable.
Using the Loop-Through to connect the different devices is not recommended.
• The DUA II is set to ODI sync mode and AutoDetec SR mode.
• The DIP switch 1-8 must be set to: X – X – X – X – OFF – OFF – OFF – OFF.
