D-Tap Output; Reference Output And Operation - Blackmagic Design URSA Mini Manual De Instalación Y Funcionamiento

D-Tap Output

The +12V output on the left side panel is often referred to as a 'D-tap' or 'P-tap' and lets you
power accessories like a monitor or a large box lens. The output supports box lenses that
require 12 Volts DC nominal at 2 amps.

Reference Output and Operation

The reference output can be used to connect a reference signal to your camera via a
BNC cable.
To connect a reference signal to your camera:
1 Connect the reference output from the Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter, marked
'REF OUT', to the reference input on your camera marked 'REF IN' using one of the
small SDI cables supplied with your camera fiber converter.
2 Set your camera's reference setting to the reference input.
A sync reference signal lets you genlock video equipment to a common reference, so all
equipment shares the exact same timing. This means all video sources are synced and will
switch smoothly.
ATEM switchers have built in re-synchronizers, so if you are using Blackmagic cameras with an
ATEM Switcher then you don't need to worry about connecting a sync reference. The camera
will lock to the incoming SDI program feed from the ATEM switcher, so all you need to do is
make sure the 'program' input is selected in your URSA Mini or URSA Broadcast's reference
setting on page two of the 'setup' menu. The re-synchronizing process will add a frame delay.
If you want to reduce the latency of the re-synchronizing process within the ATEM, firstly apply
a reference signal to the URSA Mini or URSA Broadcast, then adjust the back timing so the line
input is before the switch timing of the ATEM.
To adjust the reference sync on the URSA Mini or URSA Broadcast, enter the 'setup' menu and
change the settings for 'reference timing'.
If you're using an external reference signal, connect the reference output from
the camera fiber unit to URSA Mini or URSA Broadcast's reference input.
