Video Connections
The are video setup guidelines based on your system type. Video reference must be present prior
to the integration of the video output signal into customer production environment. The video
reference synchronizes the in-house resolution with the Avid Motion Graphics server.
n
Although a video output can be generated without the presence of video reference, it is not going
to integrate properly with other downstream devices that may be used in production. As a result,
the time synchronization with the production house is incorrect.
Video inputs must be synchronized with the in-house reference signal supplied to the Avid
Motion Graphics Server as there is no input timing adjustment included in the hardware settings.
The Video I/O card(s), located on the back of the Avid Motion Graphics Server, auto senses the
presence of video reference and identifies the reference supplied in the Hardware Settings menu.
Reference input is located on the input/output video reference cable supplied with your Avid
Motion Graphics Server.

Dual channel Avid Motion Graphics Servers contain two (2) Video I/O cards.
