  • Page 7: Connecting Digital I/O

    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).
  • Page 8: Modifying Video Input Termination

    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.
