Configuration
General
In the Input configuration menu users can assign input connectors to inputs and adjust parameters to match
the incoming signal format and timing parameters.
Input Card arrangement
On the E2 model, the input cards occupy slots 3 through 10 and are right justified to slot 10.
On the S3 – 4K model, the input cards occupy slots 4 through 6 and are right justified to slot 6.
If there is an empty input slot between two input slots, all input cards to the left of the empty slot are marked
with red. Red indicates that although the cards will operate properly, inputs from these cards will not be
available at the Multiviewer.

If the card in the slot is wrong type (e.g. output card in input slot, or vice versa) then the slot in the diagram will
be greyed out.
Input Connector Grouping
The reason for connector grouping is that in order to accommodate higher resolutions with no loss of quality
bandwidth has to be added to the signalpath. By combining connectors a higher resolution all the way up to
4K@60Hz with progressive scan can be added with its full color space 4:4:4.
Several rules apply when defining an input configuration:
1. An Input connector can only be assigned to one input configuration.
2. Multiple input connectors in the same configuration must be of the same type and in the same slot or in
adjacent slots. For example, cannot have a HDMI connector and an SDI connector in the same input
configuration.
3. An input can be configured from one, two, or four connectors.
4. A multi — connector input is still ONE input.
5. Maximum of 4 single link connectors can be assigned to an Input.
6. Maximum of 8 single link connectors can be assigned to a background, Background.
7. Maximum of 128 input configurations can be assigned.
