Connectors and indicators

Number	Interface	Description
	SDI Input	Connect an input source with an SD-SDI, HD-SDI or a 3G-SDI signal.
	SDI Output	Connect an SDI output source, such as a monitor, to the SDI2USB 3.0 device. Note: the SDI output port is ONLY active if the SDI2USB 3.0 is connected to a video capture workstation providing power and running the SDI2USB 3.0 driver.
	USB 3.0 Output	Connects the video grabber to the capture workstation and enables data transfer from the video source to the workstation. The video grabber works best when connected to a USB 3.0 port on the capture workstation, but is also backward compatible with USB 2.0.
	LED	LED indicator light indicates the current status of the video grabber. See Indicator LED details for the meaning of different light colors.

Epiphan always recommends using a USB 3.0 port for best performance. If a USB 2.0 port is used instead, SDI2USB 3.0 transfers video at a lower frame rate and is unable to capture embedded audio.
