Question:

What video interface does the edge camera adaptor use? Since different interfaces use different input feeds. CVBS, YPbPr, AHD, or TVI

Hello Tyler,

On the USB Camera Adapter for Edge CTS3 Monitors # EP64YR it uses the RCA camera input just like on your CTS or CTS2 monitor.

I attached a video where my buddy Mike goes over this as well.

Are you upgrading to the CTS3 monitor?

I have a CTS3 monitor and looking at adding a camera but being new to the aftermarket reverse camera market. I've learned that not all cameras and monitors work the same or respond to input feeds.

@Tyler I found some better information on what you asked about! The Edge CTS3 camera adapter actually uses a CVBS interface, which stands for Composite Video Baseband Signal, it’s the good old analog video signal that runs through a yellow RCA plug. This means it works with standard-definition analog cameras using the NTSC format, which is super common in backup cameras and older video gear. It doesn’t support newer or higher-definition video formats like AHD, TVI, or YPbPr, so if your camera uses one of those, it won’t be compatible without a converter. Just make sure your camera outputs a regular composite signal, and you’ll be good to go!
