control. (☞ “External Control” on page 20)

2 VIDEO terminals (BNC)

Input (IN) and output (OUT) terminals for the
composite video signals.

3 COMPO. (Y, P

Input (IN) and output (OUT) terminals for the analog
component video (color difference) signals.

4 AUDIO (IN) terminals (pin jack)

Input terminals for the analog audio signals.

• Use this terminal for the analog audio connection
of the SDI. When a superimposed signal
(EMBEDDED AUDIO signal on an SDI signal) is
input, analog audio signals cannot be input.

5 AUDIO (MONITOR OUT) terminals (pin jack)

Output terminals for the analog audio signal.

• The terminals emit the audio signals through
the AUDIO (IN) terminal or EMBEDDED AUDIO
signals through the E. AUDIO HD/SD SDI (IN 1 or
IN 2) input terminal.

• The signal is output from this terminal only
when the monitor is on or in “P.SAVE” (power
save) mode. (☞ “NO SYNC ACTION” in “SYNC
FUNCTION” on page 15)

• The EMBEDDED AUDIO signal...

– is decoded into an analog signal, then emitted.
– is emitted only when “SDI 1” or “SDI 2” is

selected, and when EMBEDDED AUDIO
signals come in to the E. AUDIO HD/SD SDI
(IN 1 or IN 2) terminal.

B/B-Y, PR/R-Y) terminals (BNC)

6 E. AUDIO HD/SD SDI (IN 1, IN 2) terminals (BNC)

Input terminals for the HD/SD SDI signals.

• The terminals accept also EMBEDDED AUDIO
signals including up to 12 audio channels with a
sampling frequency of 48 kHz.

• Use both terminals when selecting DUAL LINK
SDI for the input.

7 E. AUDIO HD/SD SDI (SWITCHED OUT) terminal

(BNC)

Output terminal for the HD/SD SDI signals.

• The SDI signals of the current input (SDI 1 or SDI

2) are re-clocked, then emitted.

• When an input other than SDI 1 and SDI 2 is
selected, the SDI signal of the input selected last
time is emitted from this terminal.

• The signals are emitted from this terminal only
when the monitor is on or in “P.SAVE” (power
save) mode.

• No signals are emitted when DUAL LINK SDI is
selected for the input.

8 DVI-D (HDCP) terminal

Input terminal for the DVI-D signal compatible with
HDCP.

• When the picture is not displayed correctly,
change the setting of “DVI INPUT SEL.”

(☞ page 19).

9 DC switch

Turns the DC 12 V power on or off.

• You need to press button (☞ u on page

6) on the front panel to turn on the monitor after
turning on the DC switch.

• The monitor consumes the battery even while the
monitor is on standby. To save battery life, turn off
the DC switch.

CAUTION

Do not connect the power cord until all other
connections are completed.

p DC IN 12V terminal

DC 12 V (maximum
DC 17 V) power input
connector.

When using DC 12 V power (maximum DC 17 V),
check the DC IN 12V terminal pin signal, and use
the correct polarity. If the polarity is reversed, this
could cause a fire or personal injury.

• While using both the AC and DC 12 V power
supply, AC power supply is preferentially used. If
the AC power supply is cut off (for example, when
turning off the POWER switch), the power supply
automatically switches to the DC 12 V power
supply.

q AC IN terminal

AC power input connector.
Connect the provided AC power cord to an AC
outlet.

• Attach the provided power cord holder to prevent
accidental disconnection of the AC power cord.

(☞ “Attaching the power cord holder” on page 9)

w POWER switch

Turns AC power on or off.

• You need to press
to use the monitor after turning on the POWER
switch.

button (☞ u on page 6)

e Screw holes for external battery attachment

Attach external battery for DC 12 V power supply
by using 2 screw holes. Choose the appropriate
screw holes from 1, 2 or 3 according to the type of
external battery.

• Use the Anton Bauer Dionic 90 (mount: QR DXC­M3A) external battery.

CAUTION

• Do not use the external battery for DC 24 V
power supply.

• Use only the battery specified above. If a heavy
battery is used, it may fall off depending on the
way the monitor is used.

• When an external battery is attached, attach the
ferrite core (provided) to the power cord from the
mount as illustrated below.

Ex.: When the Anton Bauer mount (QR DXC-M3A)

is used

Ferrite core

r Security slot

Attach a security wire to this slot.

Attaching the power cord holder

The provided power cord holder prevents accidental disconnection of the AC power cord from the AC IN
terminal.

• The power cord holder consists of two parts, a case and a cover.

AC IN
terminal

Case

CAUTION

• Use only the provided screws.

• Make sure the plug will not be pulled out after the cover is attached to the case.

Cover

To detach the cover

Note for connections

• Before making any connections, turn off all the
equipment.

• Use a cord whose plugs correctly match the
terminals on this monitor and the equipment.

• Plugs should be firmly inserted; poor connections
could cause noise.

• When unplugging a cord, be sure to grasp its plug
and pull it out.

• DO NOT connect the power cord until all connections
are complete.

• Refer also to the user manual of each piece of
equipment.
