SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Power off the computer when installing and removing PC cards. When the computer is turned off by using the power switch, there still might be power supplied to the motherboard. To ensure that your computer is completely shut down, unplug the computer’s power cord from its power source.
7. Replace the computer cover. Plug in the power cord and restart your system. Installing Multiple Boards Winnov Videum enables you to install several Videum capture cards into your system.

Your Videum board provides 8 digital I/O which can be used as trigger input or as event signaling output. Each input and output is used individually as input or output. The Digi- tal I/O interface on the board is controlled through Winnov’s ActiveX software and the Videum SDK (Software Development Kit).
Modifying Video Input Termination Each video input is terminated with 75 Ohm. For proper video reception this termination is required. In some cases, termination is not desired, for example: • The card is inserted into an existing video link via a T-piece. • All inputs are fed from one video source, for example, to provide streams with different resolutions from the same video stream. • Several Videum cards are cascaded or run in parallel to other video equipment. In these cases, the video termination requires a video amplifier or repeater.
CONNECTING VIDEO AND AUDIO SOURCES This section describes how to connect your video sources to the Videum board. The breakout cable or the Videum breakout box (BOB) can be used. Connecting Video Sources via Breakout Cable To connect the Videum board with the breakout cable: 1. Plug the cable into the Videum board’s DVI connector. 2.
2. The rackmount BOB bracket is designed for 4 BOBs. The following photo shows a rackmount BOB bracket with 4 BOBs. 3. Attach the front panel label to the BOB and attach blank labels to the unused posi- tions. 4. Attach the rackmount BOB bracket onto your rack.

2. Attach the other end of the A/V Media cable to the capture card’s DVI connector. Note: Be careful handling the A/V Media cable and the pins inside the shrouded cable plug. Bending the cable or pins my cause internal damage to the signal wires and/or shielding wires and result in A/V signal quality degradation or complete signal loss.
