Connecting to other
signals

You can also use a DBHD44-TO-13BNC/O cable if you need to interface other
signals (such as, special user input and output signals) in addition to composite
and Y/C video signals. The DBHD44-TO-13BNC/O cable is an open-ended
version of the DH44-TO-13BNC cable. The pinout of the video input connector,
found in Technical reference, contains a list of all the signals available along the
interface. After referring to this table, you can then refer to the color code pinout
chart, included with your cable, to connect the appropriate wire.

Units with Matrox Meteor-II /Multi-Channel

To interface video sources to a Matrox Meteor-II /Multi-Channel frame grabber
(designed for Matrox 4Sight-M), use a DBHD44-TO-8BNC cable to connect to
the unit’s external video input connector.

This cable has a DBHD44 connector on one side, and eight BNC connectors on
the other. It supports up to seven video input signals and one trigger signal.

The wires of this cable are numbered as follows:

Connecting to RGB
input signals

You can interface up to two RGB cameras to the Matrox Meteor-II
/Multi-Channel frame grabber. To do so:

1. Connect the BNC wires to each RGB camera using the information from the

above table.

2. Attach the DBHD44 connector to the video input connector of Matrox 4Sight-M.
