Serial Digital and Analog Input and Output
Signal Connectors
The BKM-21D is equipped with three input and three
output connectors for serial digital signals, as well as
three input and three output connectors for analog
signals. Using the analog signal input connectors, you
can input one Y/R–Y/B–Y or one RGB signal, or three
analog composite signals. The types of analog
composite signals that may be input vary depending on
the input adaptors installed in other input option slots
(see page 20(E)).
Using the Input and Output
Connectors
For information about installing the BKM-21D in a video
monitor input option slot, see “Installing into Video
Monitors” (page 21(E)).
Configuration of Input/Output Connectors
and Signals that may be Input
The configuration of the input and output connectors
and the signals that may be input are shown below.
The BKM-21D SDI Multi Decoder Adaptor is a video
signal input adaptor for BVM-Series video monitors.
When installed in an input option slot on the rear panel
of the video monitor, it provides video input and
output connectors for the monitor and a decoder for
serial digital signals and analog composite (NTSC/
PAL) signals.
Notes
• Before installing this adaptor, check the adaptor serial
number and the software version of your video
monitor. If the adaptor serial number is 2100001 or
higher, and the software version is lower than the
version indicated for your monitor in the following
table, then you need to upgrade the software before
installing the adaptor. You can check the software
version of your video monitor on the STATUS
MENU.
• When installing or moving adaptors, or fitting a cover
plate over an unused slot, always fit the BKM-21D
as the last step of the operation. If a BKM-21D is
already installed, remove it temporarily while
carrying out the other operations, then reinstall it last
(see page 22(E)).
Functions
Decoders for Serial Digital Signals and
Analog Composite Signals
The BKM-21D is equipped with a decoder for serial
digital signals (525/625 component and NTSC/PAL
composite), and with a decoder for analog composite
NTSC and PAL signals.
