SDI/VITC I/O: For SDI Input:

• Connect the SDI output of your video source (i.e.: a Betacam Deck) to the "SDI IN" port of the Dual Link SDI Converter.

For SDI Output:

• Connect the "SDI OUT" port of the Dual Link SDI Converter to the SDI input of your video device (i.e.: Betacam Deck, Monitor, et cetera). If your deck supports VITC (vertical interval time code), connect the VITC output from your deck to the "VITC IN" on the Dual Link SDI Converter as well as VITC input from your deck to the "VITC OUT" of the device.
