In the sub-sections, the procedures of first installation are illustrated. A description of the device’s menu will also be provided.

Installation

Installing the device is a simple and fast procedure.

You just need to connect the video output of the camera to the iONYX input and the OUT connector to a monitor by using coassial cables (BNC). Subsequently, connect the power supply and turn on the iONYX. The installation is over.

The insertion of iONYX between camera and monitor does not generate any delay in the video transfer. Moreover, new pieces of information are added and shown on the monitor, such as:

Time Code, REC or streaming video

Very useful features during the recording phase.

Video Signal
