Connectors on the Matrox Rapixo CXP board 63
CoaXPress video input connectors
The CoaXPress (CXP) video input connectors are 75 Ohm, 12G rated,
high-density BNC (HD-BNC/micro-BNC) female connectors (jack). They are
used to receive video input streams and send and receive CoaXPress trigger signals,
as well as control and acknowledgment messages.
To interface with these connectors, use 75 Ohm coaxial cables with a 12G rated,
HD-BNC male connector (plug). You can purchase high-quality, 75 Ohm coaxial
cables from your video source manufacturer, Belden Inc., or other third parties.
Note that these cables are not available from Matrox.
When using more than one CoaXPress cable to connect to the same video source,
you must choose cables of the same type and length, to ensure that the cables have
the same propagation delay.
Video sources can be connected to the CoaXPress video input connectors in any
order. Matrox Rapixo CXP communicates with the video source(s) to identify
which video source is connected to which connector(s).
External auxiliary I/O connectors
The external auxiliary I/O connectors on the mDP-to-HD15 adapter cable and
the cable adapter bracket are high-density D-subminiature 15-pin (HD-15
*
) male
connectors. The external auxiliary I/O connectors are used to transmit and receive
auxiliary signals.
❖
The auxiliary I/O connectors on Matrox Rapixo CXP are not compatible with
display devices. Connecting one of the HD-15 connectors to a VGA monitor or
any other display device might damage both the device and the Matrox Rapixo
CXP board.
❖
In addition, the mDP connectors directly on the Matrox Rapixo CXP bracket are
not compatible with a DisplayPort source. Connecting one of the mDP connectors
to such a device might damage both the device and the Matrox Rapixo CXP board.
