BKM-21D SDI Multi Decoder Adaptor The BKM-21D SDI Multi Decoder Adaptor is a video signal input adaptor for BVM-Series video monitors. When installed in an input option slot on the rear panel of the video monitor, it provides video input and output connectors for the monitor and a decoder for serial digital signals and analog composite (NTSC/ PAL) signals. Notes • Before installing this adaptor, check the adaptor serial number and the software version of your video monitor. If the adaptor serial number is 2100001 or higher, and the software version is lower than the version indicated for your monitor in the following table, then you need to upgrade the software before installing the adaptor. You can check the software version of your video monitor on the STATUS MENU. Monitor model name BVM-20E1/14E1/14E5 BVM-20F1/14F1/14F5 BVM-20G1/14G1/14G5 BVM-D32E1W BVM-D24E1W BVM-D20F1 Software version 1.40 or higher 1.10 or higher 1.20 or higher • When installing or moving adaptors, or fitting a cover plate over an unused slot, always fit the BKM-21D as the last step of the operation. If a BKM-21D is already installed, remove it temporarily while carrying out the other operations, then reinstall it last (see page 22(E)). Functions Decoders for Serial Digital Signals and Analog Composite Signals The BKM-21D is equipped with a decoder for serial digital signals (525/625 component and NTSC/PAL composite), and with a decoder for analog composite NTSC and PAL signals. Serial Digital and Analog Input and Output Signal Connectors The BKM-21D is equipped with three input and three output connectors for serial digital signals, as well as three input and three output connectors for analog signals. Using the analog signal input connectors, you can input one Y/R-Y/B-Y or one RGB signal, or three analog composite signals. The types of analog composite signals that may be input vary depending on the input adaptors installed in other input option slots (see page 20(E)).
