Control connectors.
Linear Time Code (LTC)
The Kaleido-X16 supports two linear time code (LTC) inputs over BNC connectors. The format is SMPTE 12M
unbalanced.
GPI I/O
The Kaleido-X16 supports status monitoring, genlock and GPI interfacing. The rear connector panel houses
all input and output connectors associated with GPI I/O. The Kaleido-X16 supports 32 GPI inputs and 4 GPI
outputs. The GPI connector type is a DSUB-44 (female on the connector panel; male on the cable):
The pin numbering scheme for the GPI I/O connector is represented in the following diagram:
There are 44 GPI connector pins (40 not including GND) whose functions are as follows:
• 4 Ground (GND) pins
• 32 GPI Input pins
• 4 GPI Output Emitter pins (designated in the table, below, as “N”)
• 4 GPI Output Collector pins (designated in the table, below, as “P”)
The exact pinout for the GPI connector is as follows:
