monitor
With this setup you can capture audio and video from an SD-SDI, HD-SDI, or component video device (camcorder
or VTR), monitor the signal on a TV monitor while editing, and export any sequence back to the camcorder or VTR.
This setup requires either an SDI or component PCI card installed in the computer, or an external SDI or component
device connected to the computer via FireWire. Either of these would provide ports, usually with BNC connectors,
capable of receiving SDI or component video signals.
Some SDI and component PCI cards come with breakout boxes which provide ports for the SDI or component signals,
and sometimes also ports for genlock, in an easy-to-access array. Others provide the necessary outputs directly on the card.

Connect the SD-SDI, HD-SDI, or component device to the computer or breakout box using SDI or component
video cables. A single cable with BNC connectors carries SDI video, but three separate cables with BNC connectors
carry component video signals. Run video cables from the video outputs of the computer or breakout box to the
video inputs of the device. Also run video cables from the video outputs of the device to the video inputs of the
computer or breakout box.
