    Input 1, 2, 3, and 4 audio inputs — Each input has a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector for balanced or unbalanced stereo audio input. Connectors are included with each SVS 100, but the user must supply the audio cable. See figure 2-4 to wire a connector for the appropriate input type and impedance level.

  • Page 15: Genlock Connections

    See to chapter 5, Serial Communication, for details. Genlock connections A genlock device (black burst generator) can be connected to the SVS 100 via the BNC connectors shown below. The genlock feature allows the SVS 100 to be synchronized with other system components for seamless vertical interval switching between sources.

    180 degrees out of phase, which will result in incorrect colors or picture artifacts. To synchronize the SVS 100’s video output with a genlock signal, follow these steps: All equipment in the system must be powered up and turned on for at least 15 to 20 minutes before genlock setup adjustments can be made and before the equipment is used in a genlocked application.

  • Page 17: Oscilloscope Displays

    Oscilloscope displays What you see on the oscilloscope while adjusting the SVS 100 to match the genlock signal depends on the type of signal used, the type of oscilloscope, and the procedure the scope requires. This section shows some examples of oscilloscope displays.
