Signal I/O Connections

4K Camera Video Connections

The 4K CAM outputs on the base unit are highlighted in blue and are capable of outputting single-link,

dual-link, and quad-link SDI formats, supporting SD, HD, and 4K resolutions up to 4Kp60. Connect the 4K

CAM outputs of the base unit to the desired facility destination. Depending on the type of camera and

video resolution, up to four HD-BNC cables may be needed.

The base unit video settings will need to be set to match the camera's output video format. Please refer

to the configuration and operations section for more information.

Secondary SDI Connections

The SilverBack V base unit is equipped with one or more secondary SDI paths, which function as camera

sends, returns, or both. These SDI connections only support data rates up to 3G (they are not 6G or 12G

capable).

The number of secondary SDI connections on the base unit and their directions varies from model to

model. These secondary SDI connections on the base unit are highlighted in green, and the label

indicates their direction.

Reference Sync Connections

Each camera chain in the SilverBack V base unit has a dedicated reference sync input. Connect the

desired sync reference to these ports. This REF input can accept an analog NTSC, PAL, or HD tri-level

signal. On older units, these inputs are loop-thru and require a 75-ohm termination on the loop-thru

connector or at the end of the loop. Current units are internally terminating and do not require external

termination.

If the camera requires SDI reference, use one of the 3G-SDI return inputs on each of the camera chains

of the base unit.

Timecode Connections

Each camera chain in the SilverBack V base unit has dedicated timecode inputs and outputs. Connect

timecode inputs and outputs to these ports, as necessary. Note that in order for a camera chain in the

base unit to output the camera’s timecode, the direction of the timecode connector on the camera unit

must be set as an input.
