Connection Charts
`çååÉÅíáçå=`Ü~êíë=
A series of Connection Charts are provided on the following pages to assist with your
input connections. Please note the following points:
•
Each M/E has two scalers, each with three inputs: Analog , HD/SDI and DVI-I .
Additionally, the DVI-I connector has both an analog and a digital connection.
•
You can connect sources and assign them to Controller buttons — but only one
source can be assigned to a scaler at a time. For unscaled sources, connect a
maximum of two backgrounds and two DSK sources.
•
You can connect a source directly to an input, or you can connect the output of a
router to an input. The use of routers offers less restrictions with regard to
assigning sources to layers.
•
Analog inputs can be used to connect composite, S-Video (Y/C) and component
video sources. Customer supplied breakout cables are required.
•
The DSK source always connects to one of the two DVI-I inputs on the M/E 1
board — electronically, the highest priority board in the system.
•
Background sources always connect to the lowest priority board in your system,
but that board varies depending upon the number of M/E boards present. In
Chapter 2, see the “
A Word About M/E Connector Priority ” section on page 44.
Chart instructions:
•
Router I/O Charts
Complete one chart for each video router in your system (up to the maximum 8).
~
Column 1: list the sources that are connected to the router inputs.
~
Column 2: list the Encore button(s) to which the source will be patched.
~
Column 4: list where each router output will be connected.
•
Direct Encore Input Chart
Complete the chart for any sources that will be connected directly to Encore.
~
Column 1: list the direct connection source name.
~
Column 2: list the Encore button(s) to which the source will be patched.
~
Column 3: list the Video Processor to which the source is connected.
~
Column 4: list the specific M/E input (and format) to which the source is
connected: DVI, HD-SDI or Analog.
Note The analog connection on the DVI connector can only be
used for unscaled inputs. It cannot be sent to the scaler. The
digital side can go to either the scaled or unscaled channel.
Note Two DSK sources can be connected to the system on 1A and
1B — but only one can be used at a time.
Note These charts can also be used for D/A connections.
