Input cards
Each input card supports resolutions of up to 4K. The ability of the Event Master processors to support up to
40 inputs (E2 Gen 2) eliminates, in most cases, the need to have upstream routers or scalers.
On an E2 (or an E2 Jr.) processor, slots 3 through 10 are reserved for input cards. On an S3 – 4K (or an S3 – 4K
Jr.) processor, slots 4 through 6 are reserved for input cards. Both slots of an EX expansion box may hold
input cards, but if the EX has both an input and an output card, the input card should go in slot 1.
The following sections describe each type of card in detail:

Outputs cards
Event Master series processors support HDMI and SDI output cards. Each output card supports resolutions of
up to 4K.
On an E2 (or an E2 Jr.) processor, slots 11 through 13 are reserved for output cards. On an S3 – 4K (or an S3 –
4K Jr.) processor, slots 7 and 8 are reserved for output cards. Both slots of an EX expansion box may hold
output cards, but if the EX has both an input and an output card, the output card should go in slot 2.

Multiviewer (MVR) card
The Multiviewer card is physically identical to the HDMI output card, but when it ’ s plugged in the last slot it
operates as a Multiviewer (MVR), supporting either two (2) HD outputs on the HDMI 1.4 output card, or four
(4) HD outputs on the HDMI 2.0 output card. The Multiviewer card is a dedicated, fully integrated monitoring
solution that allows multiple displays to be shown together on a single display. Up to 63 MVR windows
(sources, backgrounds, or destinations) can be displayed across two (2) outputs: 63 windows for Inputs and
63 windows for Outputs.
From the Multiviewer menu in the EM GUI the user can create customized layouts, texts, backgrounds,
borders, or colors for the monitors. The MVR includes several alarms such as Frozen and Loss-of-Signal
indicators. For more details on Multiviewer features, refer to the section
“ Multiviewer (MVR) Menu ” , page 245.
