Installation

The following are simple examples of how to integrate the MP 6000 into any video setup. Obviously there

are too many possible combinations to cover them all in detail, but these examples cover the most

frequently used input and output combinations.

1. Connecting composite video and stereo audio outputs from the MP-6000 to a TV set / monitor.

Alternatively you may prefer to connect the audio outputs to an amplifier or speakers.

2. Connecting YUV output from the MP-6000 to a Projector.

3. Connecting Y/C or Composite video and stereo audio outputs from an analogue camcorder or

DVD player to the MP-6000.

4. Connecting a DV (IEEE1394) output from a DV camcorder or DV Deck to the MP-6000. With this

connection you can also use DV device control from the MP 6000 to cue up the tape.

5. Connecting a Betacam VTR to the MP-6000.
