BNC Connector

The BNC connector supplies an immediate connection to the

VIDEO0 input of the NI 1409. Use the 2 m BNC cable shipped

with the NI 1409 to connect a camera to VIDEO0. You can

configure the BNC connector only for RSE mode.

NI 1409 Cable Accessories

The IMAQ-A6822 cable provides 22 BNC connectors to all video

signals (VIDEO0, VIDEO1, VIDEO2, and VIDEO3), the external

digital I/O lines and triggers, and external signals. The IMAQ

A6804 provides four bus connectors to three video signals and

one trigger line. The IMAQ SCB-68 provides access to all of the

signals on the NI 1409 68-pin connector.
