Monitors
As shown in the example on page 11 the DVK­100 could have up to four monitors connected. It is possible
to use just one monitor, connected to one of the output sockets, but many users prefer to monitor the
Cameras and the Background Video in addition to the main monitor output.
Monitors can be connected using either S­Video or Composite Video cables. Many monitors do not feature
S­Video, and therefore must be connected using Composite Video cables, this is not too much of a limitation
as the monitor does not affect the final result. The DVK­100 allows you to use Composite Video monitors
even if you are using S­Video inputs from your cameras and player.
To connect the master monitor to the DVK­100 use one of the Composite Video Outputs.
If your monitor does not have a BNC Video Input socket you may need to purchase a BNC to RCA / Phono
adaptor, as shown above.
Use either one of the Composite Video outputs to feed your master monitor.
If you want to add monitors to your Camera and Background Inputs, you can connect monitors to the
Composite Video Loop Through Outputs of CAM­1, CAM­2 and BG
The Composite Video Loop Through Outputs allow each input
channel to be monitored separately. A small bank of LCD
monitors such as the Datavideo TLM­404 is ideal as a
compact monitoring solution – See page 30 for details.
