Connecting Your Video
Switcher Video Connections
CameraMan Video Output to Switcher Inputs
1. Using cables with the appropriate BNC (composite) or mini-DIN (S-Video)
connectors, connect the video output from Camera one to the Switcher
video input one.
3-CCD CameraMan cameras have two BNC (composite) video out
jacks: one located at the top on the back of the camera block, and
the other on the mini docking station on the base unit. Either can
be used to connect to the switcher. For S-Video, use the jack on
the mini docking station.
2. Continue connecting CameraMan cameras in this fashion (Camera two video
output to Switcher video input two, Camera three video ouput to Switcher
video input three, etc.) until all CameraMan cameras have been connected.
All CameraMan cameras must be addressed so that their camera
number matches their video input number to the switcher (see
page 23).
Connecting Other Video Sources to Switcher Inputs
1. Once all CameraMan cameras have been connected, the unused video inputs
can be used for other video input devices (i.e. VTR’s, document cameras,
laser disc players, etc.)
2. Connect these devices using appropriate video cables.
Connecting Switcher Video Outputs
1. Using cables with the appropriate BNC (composite) or mini-DIN (S-Video)
connectors, connect Switcher video outputs 1-3 to the desired output devices
(i.e. broadcast video feed, program monitors, VTR’s, etc.)
2. Using a cable with the appropriate BNC (composite) or mini-DIN (S-Video)
connectors, connect the preview Switcher output to the preview monitor.
Refer to page 19 for details on how these outputs operate.
Connect other video source to
switcher’s video input jacks.
For S-Video systems,
use the S-Video jack
on the mini-docking
station
Connect monitors,
broadcast video
feeds, VTRs, etc.
to the switcher’s
video outputs.
Connect your
preview monitor
to the Preview
Output jack on
the switcher.
CameraMan
3-CCD cameras
have two
composite (BNC)
jacks. Use either
one to connect to
the switcher’s video
input. Connect up
to eight cameras.
Depending on the model you purchased, your CameraMan CONTROL Center supports either Composite or S-Video. The system
connects the same way for either video signal type. The following diagram shows a Composite (BNC) system:
