TYPICAL APPLICATION DIAGRAMS
USING THE 1-2 PUNCH WITH MULTIFORMAT VIDEO: BETA, SVHS, HI8, RGB
The One-2-Punch is a passive device as far as actual signal switching is concerned. In this fashion, a variety of signals can be
used to meet your equipment needs. The rear panel graphics indicates the standard BETA(R-Y, B-Y, Y) with an overlay for SVHS(Y
and C). This graphic is simply a guide. Simply put the One-2-Punch has 3 video path lines which switch together in an A/B method.
Therefore you can use those lines in any configuration your system requires.
COMPONENT: Connect the component lines from the VTRs to the appropriate section of the One-2-Punch.: just follow the graph-
ics and be consistent. YUV systems will use the Y channel for Y and the R-Y and B-Y channels for U and V. RGB can be used as
well. The only requirement is that sync-on-green be used. If this is not possible, then fed the sync information separately to the
appropriate destination.
SVHS: Since the One-2-Punch has 3 video lines per device, it is simple to use SVHS equipment. A 4-Pin (SVHS) to BNC break-
out cable is available: TecNec part# SV4-2B-6. With this cable simply connect the BNC labeled Y and C to the corresponding Y
and C overlay labeled connectors on the One-2-Punch. If you are using SVHS for input and output, then 2 such cables would be
required. In a system where VTR#1 is a BETA and VTR#2 is an SVHS machine the hookup must be all done is SVHS. Use the
SVHS output of the BETA machine with the breakout cable. Connect the male 4-Pin end to the SVHS output of the source VTR
and the corresponding Y and C BNCs to the One-2-Punch. Repeat in reverse the same process for the record output to the
recorders. If you are using a BETA source with an SVHS source and the recorder VTR is a single BETA recorder, then use the
breakout cables with the source side VTRs and the straight component feed to the BETA recorder, utilizing the transcoder feature
of the Non-linear edit system. (SEE DIAGRAMS 1-B THROUGH 1-B)
COMPOSITE VIDEO: As mentioned in previous chapters, the One-2-Punch handles 3 lines of video. In a composite video sys-
tem, simply chose a connector per path as required. It is possible to connect the VTR composite video outputs to the channel
labeled Y and the same VTRs monitor signal to the channel labeled R-Y, in so doing the One-2-Punch can route the video signals
to the editor and likewise route the "monitor out" signals to a video monitor.

Setup Notes

This setup allows a Beta & S-VHS source to be
routed into the system via S-VHS breakout
cables (TecNec model SV4-2B-6). The output is
routed to an S-VHS recorder via the Beta
Recorder Deck's S-VHS output. In essence, the
Beta Recorder is being utilized as a transcoder
for output to the S-VHS Recorder. In this config-
uration, the SOLO-AUTO switches on the
RECORD SIDE of the One-2-Punch should be in
SOLO mode in order to rout the RS422 and
Audio to the S-VHS Recorder and the Video to
the Beta Recorder.
