  • Hooking up Kona LS with UVW-1800 Betacam

    Posted by Tim Allison on June 14, 2005 at 9:29 pm

    The back of my UVW has three component inputs:

    Y
    R-Y
    B-Y

    Meanwhile, the Kona cables are labeled:

    Y/CVBS
    Pb/Y
    Pr/C

    I can figure out the “in” and the “out” part. 🙂 Anyone care to share which of those other connections match up to each other?

    Y == Y/CVBS
    R-Y == PR
    B-Y == PB

    Y is luminance. When the Kona output is changed to composite, Y is switched to CVBS.
    R-Y is “Red minus Y” which is basicly the same as “Plus Red” or PR.
    B-Y is “Blue minus Y or Plus Blue.

    Y, PB, PR
    A version of (Y, R-Y, B-Y) specified for the SMPTE analog component standard.
    Y, R-Y, B-Y
    The general set of CAV signals used in the PAL system as well as for some encoder and most decoder applications in NTSC systems. Y is the luminance signal, R-Y is the 1st color difference signal, and B-Y is the 2nd color difference signal.
    Y, U, V
    Luminance and color difference components for PAL systems. Y, U, and V are simply new names for Y, R-Y, and B-Y; the derivation from RGB is identical.
