To Set up a Video Output

Assign video sources or buses to the output HD-BNCs on the back of the switcher. Some outputs are fixed to a specific video signal.

  1. Click Navigation Menu > Configuration > Outputs.


    Note: The number of outputs that can be configured depends on the video mode the switcher is operating in and the number of ABUs connected to the switcher.
    Tip: If you do not have all 4 CUF3-ADD-​I/OPLUS options installed, you must assign an I/O Processor to an input before you can you can use the Configure, Dyn. Range, or Color Gamut settings.
    Tip: Refer to Output FSFC for information on conversion, and To Configure Audio Outputs for information on embedding audio into video outputs.
  2. Click on the Source button for the output BNC that you want to assign a source to.


  3. Click the video source that you want to assign to the output.
