Precautions
Selecting one out of four inputs
¢ Up to four video units can be connected. You can select a
desired unit out of four for monitoring.
Editing functions
© Signals from three video units can be edited onto a single video
unit.
© Bi-directional editing can be made easily using two video units.
Monitor selection
© While editing, you can monitor the picture of another video unit.
High-quality picture and sound
© S VIDEO jacks for sharp and clear images
© 24K gold-plated jacks for clear sound and images reproduction
© An OFC (oxygen-free copper) printed-circuit board for high-
quality sound and images
S VIDEO (Separated Luminance/
Chrominance Signal) Input/Output
Connectors
Conventional video equipment transmits or receives the
composite video signal. The composite vidoe signal is liable
to produce interference resulting in picture quality loss. On
the other hand, the S VIDEO connector transmits or
receives the video signal separated into the luminance
signal and the chrominance signal.
Flickers and color blur in the picture are minimized with the
separated video signals and picutre sharpness is enhanced
to such an extent that even hair and fine stripes are clearly
visible. The S VIDEO connector also assures minimum loss
in picture quality during editing.
On installation
© Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources
such as heaters or air ducts, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical shock or
vibration.
On connection
© Firmly connect the cables into jacks. Loose cable
connection may cause noise and distorted images.
* To disconnect the cable, pull it out by grasping the plug,
not the cable.
e Jacks and plugs of the connecting cable are color-coded
as follows:
Red jacks and plugs: for the right channel of audio
signals.
White jacks and plugs: for the left channel of audio
signals.
Yellow jacks and plugs: for video signals.
¢ If this unit is placed on the top of a TV (monitor), it might
cause noise and distorted images due to electromagnetic
radiation from the TV (monitor). In such a case, rearrange
the cables. If there is no improvement, move the unit to a
different location.

This unit can be connected to the TV (monitor) or monitor
which has no S VIDEO jacks. However, for sharp and
clear images, we recommend to connect video units
equipped with the S VIDEO jacks. In addition, for
optimizing the editing functions of this unit, we
recommend to connect the TV (monitor) or monitor with
two or more sets of input jacks.

Before Connection
Note on Inputs/Outputs of the SB-V66S
The copy mode selector and the monitor output selector of
the SB-V66S are separated from each other. That is, you
can select the signal to be monitored regardless of the
editing signals.
Notes on video signal connection
These video inputs and outputs have two types of jack:
S VIDEO (multi-pin connector) and VIDEO (coaxial phono
jack).
When you select a video unit connected to the S VIDEO
jack by depressing the MONITOR button
The signal is supplied to the S VIDEO jack only.
When you select a video unit connected to the VIDEO
jack by depressing the MONITOR button
The signat is supplied to the VIDEO jack only. .
Notes on Video Unit’s Input/Output Jacks
On input jacks
© There are two types of video units; one has S VIDEO
jacks, and the other does not.
¢ A video unit which has an S VIDEO input is also
equipped with a VIDEO input. However, it cannot receive
both S VIDEO and VIDEO signais at the same time.
When you select which to use, the following two methods
are available depending on video units:
For a video unit equipped with an S VIDEO/VIDEO
selector
Connect the cables to both types of jacks and select either
the S VIDEO signal or VIDEO signal by the selector.
When you connect to either the S VIDEO or VIDEO jack,
set the selector to the corresponding position with the
connected jack.
For a video unit which has no S VIDEO/VIDEO selector
If you connect the cables to both types of jacks, the
S VIDEO jack is automatically selected.
When using the VIDEO input jack of the video unit, be sure
to remove the cable from the S VIDEO jack of the video
unit.
On output jacks
A video unit with an S VIDEO output is also equipped with
a VIDEO jack. The signal is sent from both the S VIDEO
and VIDEO output jacks, thus allowing both jacks to be
used at the same time.

‘Notes on TV (monitor) Input Jacks
© The type of input jack depends on the TV (monitor).
One is equipped with the S VIDEO, VIDEO, and AUDIO
jacks, while the other is equipped with only the VIDEO
and AUDIO jacks.
As for the TV equipped with an S VIDEO input, there are
two types of signal selection; a selector performs the
selection and it is done automatically.
© To identify your TV's type, please refer to the TV's
instruction manual.

The above is only an example. The number and names of the jacks may vary for each TV (monitor). Connect the cables to appropriate
jacks on your TV (monitor).
