Wiring Your Video Components
Use this section to connect an HP xw9400 workstation equipped with an AJA OEM-2K board
and Miranda DVI-Ramp

for video I/O.
Note the following about the wiring diagram:
• Do not use an SD (NTSC or PAL) sync generator for HD projects. Always use a tri-level sync
generator for HD projects. Using the wrong sync generator for a project may impact the
stability of your workstation.
• The sync source is connected to the Altinex video distribution amplifier. It is critical to
connect the Altinex distribution amplifier exactly as shown in the diagram to ensure the sync
works correctly.
• The VTR is connected to the SDI In A and SDI Out A ports of the AJA breakout box. You can
use the SDI In B and SDI Out B ports for dual link video I/O.
• VTR control is provided through the RS-422 port on the AJA breakout box.
