INSTALLATION
Installation of the Pointmaker PVI-65 can be divided into the following three
areas:

Connecting Video Source and Output(s)
The PVI-65 supports video input/output only from SD-SDI or HD-SDI com-
patible devices. For these connections, (See “Cutaway of back panel showing
video input/output connectors.” below.).

labeled HD/SD-SDI IN.

2. Use a BNC cable to connect either or both video output(s) to the
port(s) labeled HD/SD-SDI OUT.
Port #1 is a Preview out, combining your video input with annotation.
Port #2 can be programmed to function as Program, Key or Preview
out. (See “Programming Video Mode“ in “Section Three: Display
