OVERVIEW
Video Input
Mbox allows for up to four video inputs per server. Each input must be set up in advance for it to work properly with
the video signal that is being used. The two types of supported video inputs are: QuickTime streaming (Video Capture
card) and USB/FireWire (camera).
QuickTime Streaming with Video Capture Card
The BlackMagic Decklink Video Capture card installed in the Mac computer supplies the QuickTime streaming input
for the Mbox server. This card is connected to the SDI video input ports on the Auxiliary panel at the rear of the rack.
These ports will accept SDI (SD/HD), component, or composite video signals as indicated in the illustrations below.
Note that the v3.5 hardware will only accept SDI (SD/HD).
