6.1 Connecting the VS-44HDxl in the Dual-Link Mode
You can use your
VS-44HDxl
in the dual-link mode to switch any of the two
dual-link SDI inputs to any or all of the two dual-link SDI outputs, as the
illustration in Figure 3 shows.
To connect the
VS-44HDxl
3G HD/SD-SDI 4x4 Matrix Switcher
in the dual-link
mode, do the following
1
:
1. Connect one or both of the SDI sources to the INPUT DUAL LINK BNC
connectors. For example, a dual-link HD/SD SDI camera to DUAL LINK 1
(inputs 1 and 2) and a dual-link 3G HD video server to DUAL LINK 2 (inputs
3 and 4).
2. Connect the SDI OUTPUT BNC connectors to one or both
2
SDI
acceptors. For example, OUTPUT DUAL LINK 1 (outputs 1 and 2) to a
dual-link preview display, and OUTPUT DUAL LINK 2 (outputs 3 and
4) to a dual-link HD SDI mixer.
3. Set the dipswitches (see section 6.2).
4. If required
3
, connect:
A Genlock source to the GENLOCK BNC connector
The LOOP
BNC connector to the GENLOCK connector of the next
unit in the line, and release the TERM
button for looping
4
5. Connect a PC and/or controller (if required), to the:
RS-232 port (see section 6.4), and/or
RS-485 port (see section 6.5), and/or
ETHERNET connector (see section 6.8)
6. If required
3
, connect a remote contact closure switch (refer to section 6.9).
7. Connect
3
the power cord
5
.
8. Set the machine to the dual-link mode (see section 6.2).
1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-44HDxl. After connecting your VS-44HDxl, switch
on its power and then switch on the power on each device
2 When only one output is required, connect that output, and leave the other output unconnected
3 Not illustrated in Figure 2
4 Pushed in terminates the input. Release when the input extends to another unit
5 We recommend that you use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine
