How to Play Live Video out of a 1 Input Standard Video System

Topic

  • How do I play live video out of my Standard Video rack?

Environment

  • Product: 1 Input Standard Video Rack FY18 (Shipped 2017)
  • Components: DMP-8000
  • Control System: Show Control

Steps

  1. Locate your camera or live video source.  Determine what cable connection your camera requires.
  2. Plug your camera into the front of the rack.  You can use SDI, Composite or Component cables.
    • To take SDI out: Plug a BNC cable from your camera to the SDI input connected to the DMP-8000. (This is the most common connection used.)
    • To take Composite out: Plug in a yellow video cable from your camera to the ADC #1 video converter on the front of the rack.  You will need to use an RCA to BNC connector.
    • To take Component out: Plug in the red, blue, green video cables from the camera to the ADC#1 video converter on the front of the rack.  You will need to use an RCA to BNC connector.

  3.  If you are using SDI video, skip this step and proceed to step 4.  If you are using analog video (component, composite, or s-video,) make sure the analog to SDI video converter switch (ADC#1) is set to the correct input switch.
    • If using Composite video make sure the converter is set to composite. (Switch #5 On, the rest off)
    • If using Component, make sure the converter is set to component. (All switches set to off)
    • If using S-Video, make sure the converter is set to s-video. (Switch #4 and #5 are On, the rest off)

  5. In Display Studio, create a new button to play out the file input_SDI.vmpl.
    1. Right click in a scripting container and select New Button.

    5. In Step 3 choose Play.
    6. In Step 4 click Add. Navigate to input_SDI.vmpl. The default location is C:\ProgramData\Daktronics\VNet4\Content\
    7. In Step 5 click continuous.
    8. Click Save.
