Component Video Inc 17612 YPbPr Breakout Box 1U Rackmount BNC MII B/O Box
The Component Video Inc 17612 is a 1U rackmount YPbPr component video breakout box designed for professional broadcast and video production environments. It routes component video signals (Y, Pr, Pb) via BNC connectors through a multi-pin cable interface, providing a clean, rack-integrated breakout point between equipment and patch infrastructure. Component Video Inc, based in Van Nuys, CA, built this unit under their tagline "Setting New Television Standards" and it was designed to work with MII and other professional component video systems.

Applications
Component video breakout boxes like the 17612 were standard infrastructure in broadcast studios, post-production facilities, and mobile production trucks during the era when component analog video — and formats like MII — were the professional standard. They serve as the physical interface between multi-pin umbilical cables (common on decks and production switchers) and individual BNC-patched routing environments, allowing component signals to be split, looped, or patched without adapters at every device. Component Video Inc produced a range of these breakout and patch products specifically for the MII ecosystem and professional YPbPr routing. While MII is a legacy format, these breakout panels remain useful in facilities maintaining older component analog infrastructure or running vintage broadcast equipment for specialty production and archival work. The BNC Y/Pr/Pb layout is also compatible with general YPbPr component video routing regardless of the source format.
This Component Video Inc 17612 YPbPr Breakout Box has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The unit was pulled from a working broadcast environment. The 1U rack panel shows typical surface wear and scuffing consistent with professional use, and the black finish has some light scratches. Both the IN and OUT BNC module blocks appear intact with all six BNC connectors (Y, Pr, Pb on each side) present and undamaged. The multi-pin breakout cable is attached and shows normal handling wear on the connectors. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
