Selecting Video Crosspoints

A video crosspoint shows the connection between a video input, a codec, and a
video output.

• Video inputs (top-left corner) represent video input connectors on the back

panel. Video inputs can be connected to JPEG codecs for recording onto
disk, or connected to video output for display.

• Video outputs (top-right corner) represent video output connectors on the

back panel. Video outputs can be connected to JPEG codecs for playback of
recorded material from disk or to video inputs.

To specify video crosspoints:

1. Choose

Window | Video Crosspoint

to open the dialog box. The green boxes

indicate current connections. For example, a green box at the intersection of
a SDI-InB-J8 serial digital video board in slot J8 and a JPEG# 1 codec
connects the video signal from the back panel input labeled IN A to JPEG
video codec #1.

JPEG Channel. The selections turn green.
