configuration and timing of the units are identical so that changeovers are done with minimal disruption
of the plant timing reference. Figure 1-1 shows a typical configuration for a redundant system. For
further information on connecting the 5600MSC in a dual redundant configuration consult the 5600ACO
manual.

1.2. DEFINITIONS
4:2:2:
A commonly used term for a component digital video format. The details of the format
are specified in the ITU-R601 standard. The numerals 4:2:2 denote the ratio of the
sampling frequencies of the luminance channel to the two colour difference channels.
For every four luminance samples, there are two samples of each colour difference
channel.
4Fsc:
A commonly used term for a composite digital video format. The details of the format
are specified in the ITU-R601 standard. The numerals 4Fsc denote that the sampling
