Connecting
Since the VC-300HD/VC-200HD offers HD-SDI input, the HD-SDI or SDI from an HD video device can
be converted to HDV.
The output from the HD video switcher can be recorded in HDV, or the video from an HD video deck
can be converted to HDV.
Connection and Configuration
1 Connect the HD video device to the HD-SDI IN connector using a BNC cable.
* Make sure to use a 75 ohm BNC cable. The VC-300HD may not be able to acceptably receive SDI if
you use a cable that cannot transmit HD SDI.
* Make sure to connect the BNC cable securely. If the connection is bad, the color of the output video
may be off or synchronization may be lost.
2 Connect the HDV device to the i.LINK connector using an i.LINK (IEEE1394) cable.
