5 5 Connecting the VP-482 Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your VP-482. After connecting your VP-482, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device. Figure 2: Connecting the VP-482 HDMI to 3G HD-SDI Scaler To connect the VP-482 as illustrated in the example in Figure 2: 1. Connect an HDMI source (for example, an HD video camera) to the HDMI connector. Note: If the HDMI signal is HDCP protected, it cannot be displayed on a non-HDCP compliant display and therefore the VP-482 will not output the picture. i

2. Connect the SDI OUT 1 BNC connector to an SDI acceptor (for example, a non-linear editor). 3. Connect the SDI OUT 2 BNC connector to an SDI acceptor (for example, a display with speakers). 4. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the 5V DC power socket and to the mains electricity (not shown in the illustration).
