Switches

Switch 8 - Analog Audio, AES/EBU Audio

Set switch 8 to OFF to select balanced analog audio, or to ON for digital AES/EBU audio input.

Switch 7 - 7.5 IRE - 0.0 IRE

The USA and countries using NTSC with 7.5 setup should set switch 7 to OFF. If you’re working in countries not using 7.5 setup, for example Japan, set switch 7 to ON. This setting only affects composite or S-Video outputs.

Switch 6 - SMPTE Levels - Betacam Levels

This setting selects between SMPTE or Betacam video levels. Set switch 6 to OFF for SMPTE levels, or to ON for Betacam levels. SMPTE levels are more common and even Betacam SP decks can use SMPTE levels so only switch this to Betacam if you are sure that Betacam levels are being used.

Switch 5 - Component, Composite or S-Video

Set switch 5 to OFF to select analog component video input, or to ON for composite video and S-Video analog inputs.

Switch 4 - Composite - S-Video

Set switch 4 to OFF to select composite video input, or to ON for S-Video input.

Switch 1 - Processing Off - Processing On

This switch is not used.
