Back module connector
The back module provides all the connectors for external device
connections.
Each output module can output two DVI and four SDI video output signals that drive the multiviewer
output displays. The Platinum SX Hybrid supports all critical display resolutions up to 1900×1200 dpi,
and the DVI outputs can be set for any of the supported resolutions. You can select between two output
display modes and portrait or landscape orientation to best utilize your output display devices. The
Platinum SX Hybrid also allows custom resolutions, for example 1080×1100. The module only handles
1.5G signals when used in an IP3 frame.
Video inputs are routed from the router’s crosspoint modules to the inputs of the output module. The
module receives up to 32 baseband video signals or 24 scaled video channels from the frame’s
crosspoint matrix module. In addition to the multiviewer’s outputs, connectors are provided for two
Ethernet connections, a linear timecode input, four USB ports, and AES outputs for audio monitoring.
When making connections from external devices to the multiviewer, it is important to properly secure
the cables to your equipment rack. Use cable ties to secure the various device cables to your equipment
rack so that the rack supports the weight of the cables. Failure to do so will cause excessive weight on
the back module and breakout module connections and connector pins, which may permanently
damage your system. A series of fans maintains optimal operating temperature inside the output
module.
