Connecting Avid DNA Video
Peripheral Hardware
To connect Avid DNA video peripheral hardware:
1 Connect the power cable for the Avid DNA
video peripheral.
2 Connect one end of the FireWire cable to the
Host port on the Avid DNA video peripheral,
and connect the other end to any internal
FireWire port on your computer.
Connecting a DV Device
To connect a DV device to the Avid DNA video
peripheral:
■ Connect one end of the FireWire (1394) cable
to the DV port on the Avid DNA video periph-
eral, and connect the other end to any available
FireWire port on the DV Device.
Connecting Serial Digital Video
Input and Output
(AVoption|V10 only)
To connect the output of a serial digital video
source to the AVoption|V10:
■ Using a BNC cable, connect the serial digital
output from a digital video source to SDI IN on
the AVoption|V10 breakout box.
To connect the serial digital video output from the
AVoption|V10 to a digital video deck:
■ Using a BNC cable, connect SDI OUT 1 or 2 on
the AVoption|V10 breakout box to the serial dig-
ital input of the video deck.
Connecting a SYNC I/O
The SYNC I/O is required for Pro Tools|HD sys-
tems with an Avid DNA video peripheral. For
more information on configuring and using the
SYNC I/O, see the SYNC I/O Guide.
Video Reference In
Connect a BNC cable to one of the Video Ref
ports on the SYNC I/O and to a black burst
(house video reference) generator.
All FireWire ports on Digidesign-qualified
computers are connected to the same bus,
and the Avid DNA video peripheral must be
the only device attached to this bus. There-
fore, you must install a PCI FireWire card if
you need to connect other FireWire devices.
See Appendix B, “PCI Slot Configurations
for Avid DNA Video Peripherals” for more
information on where to connect a PCI
FireWire card.
It is critical to follow the card installation
directions in Appendix B, “PCI Slot Config-
urations for Avid DNA Video Peripherals.”
All Firewire decks and cameras that are
connected to Avid DNA video peripheral
must be powered on after powering on the
Avid DNA video peripheral.
AVoption|V10 does not support audio em-
bedded in the SDI stream.
