Video I/O Setup for Workstations Using a DVI-Ramp2
The following video components are included with your shipment if your workstation uses a NVIDIA Quadro
FX 5500 graphics board and a DVI-Ramp2.
NVIDIA Quadro FX 5500G graphics board
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 5500G graphics board provides output
to your computer monitor and to the broadcast monitor via the Miranda DVI-Ramp2.
Miranda DVI-Ramp2
The DVI-Ramp2 connects the workstation to two display devices: a high-resolution
computer monitor and a broadcast monitor. This allows the application user interface to be displayed on a
high-resolution computer monitor, while the video content (preview window) is extracted and output to a
broadcast video monitor. The DVI-Ramp2 can output either a standard definition serial digital video signal
or a high definition serial digital video signal.
AJA OEM-2K board and breakout box
The AJA OEM-2K board provides video I/O, audio, and VTR control.
The AJA breakout box connects to the AJA OEM-2K board and handles SD (NTSC, PAL), and HD at a depth
of 8 and 10 bits.
NOTE
The VTR connects to the SDI In A and SDI Out A ports of the AJA breakout box. You can use the SDI In B
and SDI Out B ports for dual link video I/O. VTR control is provided through the RS-422 port on the AJA breakout
box.
LCD graphics monitor
The LCD graphics monitor features a wide screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio, and a
maximum resolution of 1920x1200.
Altinex DA1804NT video distribution amplifier
The Altinex
®
video distribution amplifier can serve up to
four video hardware devices from a single sync source/generator. It serves the sync signal to the NVIDIA
graphics board, the AJA OEM-2K board, and the Miranda DVI-Ramp2.
Use the following diagram to connect the video I/O components to an HP xw9400 workstation equipped
with a Miranda DVI-Ramp2.
WARNING
It is critical to connect the sync source to the Altinex distribution amplifier exactly as shown in the
diagrams to ensure the sync works correctly.
