about this peripheral.
Connecting House Sync or
Black Burst
In most AVoption setups, three black burst
or “house sync” connections are required.
These connections are:
• to VIDEO REF in on the USD
• to a video input on your VTR (a video ref-
erence input if available)
• to the GL IN connector from the ABVB
cable
Read the documentation for your black
burst generator for more information.
Connecting a VTR
A VTR can be used to provide video input
and to record video output from AVoption.
In most situations, there are three connec-
tions you need to make:
• connect a black burst or house sync out-
put to a video input on your VTR (prefer-
ably a reference video input)
• connect the ABVB cable’s CV IN and/or
Component IN connectors to the corre-
sponding output or outputs on your VTR
• connect the ABVB cable’s CV OUT
and/or Component OUT connectors to
the corresponding inputs on your VTR
– or –
• connect the ABVB cable’s CV OUT
and/or Component OUT connectors to
the corresponding input on an NTSC or
PAL video monitor, then connect the
outputs from this monitor to corre-
sponding inputs on your VTR.
