CONNECT VIDEO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
The HD Express provides a wealth of video input
and output connectivity.
Support for both NTSC and PAL
The HD Express supports both NTSC and PAL
formats on all inputs and outputs. It does not,
however, convert between NTSC and PAL. Instead,
it operates all inputs and outputs in one format or
the other, as determined by the chosen video
source. For details about choosing a video source,
see "Input Source" on page 26.
S-video (Y/C) input
You have two choices for connecting S-video (Y/C)
input: you can use the 4-pin mini-DIN jack on the
HD Express front panel, or you can use the two
RCA inputs on the rear panel labeled "Y" and "C".
Either way, be sure to make the corresponding
Input Source setting in the software. See "Input
Source" on page 26.
Connect any S-video source, including consumer
or prosumer camcorders, desktop video
converters, VTRs, etc. For best results, use
standard, high-quality shielded RCA or 4-pin
mini-DIN S-video cables.
You can connect the same device to both the input
and output, or you can connect two separate
devices (one to the input and the other to the
output).

S-video (Y/C) output
Connect a monitor or other S-video output device
to the RCA Y/C connectors on the rear panel. Be
sure to make the necessary settings in the software
to change the output of these connectors from
component (the factory default format) to S-video.
See "Analog Output Format" on page 28 for details.
Composite (CVBS) input
You have two choices for connecting composite
(CVBS) input: you can use the RCA jack on the
HD Express front panel labeled VIDEO, or you can
use the RCA input on the rear panel labeled CVBS.
Either way, be sure to make the corresponding
Input Source setting in the software. See "Input
Source" on page 26.
Connect any composite source, including
consumer or prosumer camcorders, desktop video
converters, VTRs, etc. For best results, use a
standard, high-quality shielded video RCA cable.
You can connect the same device to both the input
and output, or you can connect two separate
devices (one to the input and the other to the
output).
Composite (CVBS) output
Connect a monitor or other composite output
destination to the RCA CVBS connector on the
rear panel. Be sure to make the necessary settings
in the software to change the output of these
connectors from component (the factory default
format) to composite. See "Analog Output Format"
on page 28 for details.
