Video Input Connectors

The Makito X4 Rugged video encoder supports four (4) video inputs. The port marked SDI1 can support input up to 6G/12G-SDI. The ports marked CVBS/SDI support up to 3G-SDI or analog video (NTSC/PAL).  

• SDI is governed by SMPTE 259M (SD-SDI), 292M (HD-SDI) and 424M (3G-SDI) standards. Each coaxial pin is 75ohm impedance (3-GHz bandwidth).
• Composite video allows for NTSC and PAL input signals among others. 
  

  

The requirements for external cable assemblies are as follows (assuming the customer wants to avoid water immersion on them):

BNC Coaxial Cable Assemblies  

The cable assemblies must be waterproof. We recommend using waterproof compression type BNC connectors for better reliability and mechanical properties. We suggest use of a connector such as the Belden p/n FSNS6BNCU with a cable retention force of 40 lbs. per SCTE IPS SP401.

The input impedance must be 75 Ohms.

Note

We recommend that you keep the protective cap on any unused video connectors.
