The BKM-21D SDI Multi Decoder Adaptor is a video
signal input adaptor for BVM-Series video monitors.
When installed in an input option slot on the rear panel

• Before installing this adaptor, check the adaptor serial
number and the software version of your video
monitor. If the adaptor serial number is 2100001 or
higher, and the software version is lower than the
version indicated for your monitor in the following
table, then you need to upgrade the software before
installing the adaptor. You can check the software
version of your video monitor on the STATUS
