Video Input Adapter for SkyView (USB)
The Video Input Adapter (P/N 102211-000) allows display of a video source (nominally, a
camera), displayed either 100% of the SkyView display, or 50% of the SkyView display to which
it is connected. The video image on one SkyView display cannot be “shared” to other SkyView
displays. Only one Video Input Adapter can be used per SkyView display.
The Video Input Adapter for SkyView works with:
All SV-D1000T (SkyView Touch) displays (including units upgraded from SV-D1000)
SV-D700 displays S/N 4000 and higher
SV-D1000 displays S/N 6000 and higher
If you have a display with earlier S/N, please contact Dynon Avionics Technical
Support (contact information at the beginning of this manual).
The Video Input Adapter is supported in SkyView firmware v11.0 (and later). It is
not functional in any earlier version of SkyView firmware.
SkyView only supports the Video Input Adapter
available from Dynon Avionics. Although other
similar adapters are available, they will likely not
function with SkyView and are not supported by
Dynon Avionics.
The Video Input Adapter includes various connectors
for multiple input sources, but in SkyView, only the
Composite Video (the middle cable in the illustration
at right – Yellow, single RCA connector) and the S-
Video (the left cable in the illustration at right, 4-pin
mini-DIN) inputs are functional. The Composite
Video and S-Video inputs are compatible with both
NTSC (US analog video standard) and PAL (non-US
analog video standard) video sources.
There is only one video input – you can use either
the Composite input or the S-Video input, but not
both.
Dynon Avionics does not supply cameras or other video sources, or cabling associated with
video devices. The video device will require power that is not supplied or controlled by
SkyView.
Video quality of analog video devices such as cameras that output composite or S-
Video is extremely sensitive to the quality of cable used. It is recommended to use
high quality video cable for the connection between the video source (especially a
camera) and the Video Input Adapter.
