9 Typical MXO2 digital video connections In the following illustration, we ve connected a video monitor to view the signal that will be recorded, and separate source and record decks. You may, however, use the same deck as both your source and record device by making the input and output connections to a single deck. We re using SDI connectors for video and audio, and monitoring the audio on a surround sound speaker system through RCA connectors. The video is genlocked using a tri-level sync generator. 5 Tri-level sync generator Source (Deck 1) MXO2 Inputs MXO2 Outputs Video monitor Recorder (Deck 2) Surround sound speaker system Typical MXO2 digital video connections
