2.5 Connecting Picture Sources

The Bay Cat X can be ordered in one of three configura-

tions: Base Model, Video Model, or Broadcast Model. The 
Video Model and Broadcast Model have similar input 
ports, which are described below.

The base model has one analog computer video input 

port and two RS-232 ports (input and output). You may 
connect standard sources ranging from VGA to UXGA and 
480i, 480p, 720p, or 1080i to the analog video input port.

The Video Model and Broadcast Model each have a total 

of five different video inputs. Of these five, four are the 
same for both models: Analog, Composite, S-Video, and 
Component (YPbPr).

The fifth connector on the Video Model is a DVI input 

port that accepts all video and graphics signal inputs up to 
165MHz pixel clock.

The fifth connector on the Broadcast Model is an HD-

SDI (Serial Digital Interface) input port, which accepts all 
video inputs.

Connect analog computer sources to the analog connec-

tor., or on Video Models, connect digital computer sources 
to the DVI connector.

Since computer sources are RGB, you must set the Col-

orspace to RGB in the Picture menu. 

Connect composite video sources to the yellow RCA 

connector, S-Video sources to the S-Video connector, and 
component video sources to the red, green, and blue RCA 
connectors. 

Component and S-Video connectors accept NTSC and 

PAL video sources. The composite connector also accepts 
SECAM video sources.

✎

For some customers and field upgrades, video 
boards are shipped separately and must be 
installed prior to use. For more information, see 
“Installing the DVI Board or SDI Board” on page 6.

Component video sources, such as those provided by 

some DVD players, should be connected to the component 
connectors. These connectors accept 480i and 576i signals 
(480p and HD signals are not accepted). 

Most DVD players have red, green, and blue RCA con-

nectors for component video output.

The locations of the connectors are shown in the illustra-

tion on page 15.
