Rear Panel Connections
Rear Panel Connections
The back panel of each Juggler is factory configurable to order. The required number and type of
inputs and outputs for a system of Jugglers is expandable by adding Juggler modules as required.
Working from left to right, these connections are available:
JTAG Service use only.
UART (serial over USB) Service use only. Default TCP (alt UDP) connection for Juggler Console to
address the FPGA (field-programmable gate array) processor.
DP CONSOLE Not used.
OUT and LOOP Non-user Ethernet ports relating to front panel control, always connected to each
other. (LEDs on OUT are inactive.)
UNIT HDMI Tx and Rx Used in Juggler modules configured for HDMI, expandable with the I/O Interface
panels.
IN (RJ45) Network port (LEDs on this port are inactive).
USB 3.0 Not used.
MODULE × 4, numbered 1-4 (options) 4 × SFP modules,
either 12G bidirectional coax (12G-SDI HD-BNC)
or optical fibre (LC) for SDI or to form a 4-lane (‘half’) bus between Juggler
modules

Connect a Juggler Data Bus
GENLOCK / GPIO – 4 × HD-BNC, numbered 1-4 4 × HD-BNC independent configurable I/O for synchronising; genlock, 3D sync
etc.
GPIO and Genlock Juggler Systems
I/O INTERFACE 1 and INTERFACE 2(options) Choice of 2 × I/O channels of DP 1.2 or HDMI 2.0, or 2 × MPO optical fibre to
form an 8-lane (‘full’) bus between Juggler modules with greater bandwidth than
afforded via SFP transceivers

SFP Modules
Note the orientation of SDI modules in particular. These are marked with indented arrows, but note
that modules are inserted back to back (lower row inverted):
