SMPTE compliant video input connections may be made through copper coaxial cable, fiber optic cable
or both. Output video interface with Vidblox is through an industry standard DVI-I connector, and
output audio interface is through a 3.5mm stereo audio connector. Resolution of the DVI or analog
output signal is user-selectable from any of the formats listed in Table 2-1. In addition to the resolutions
listed, Vidblox gives you the ability to enter and select up to three sets of custom video output
parameters to allow interface with non-standard devices.

* 3G-SL RX Module Only
Every Vidblox module is equipped with a USB interface port allowing full monitoring and control of a
single module through a host computer running the Cattrax Cub control application. In addition to USB
connectivity, the Vidblox 3G-SL RX module provides full network connectivity and control capability
through the module’s Ethernet port using PESA’s Cattrax graphical user interface control application
running on a host PC supporting the Windows® Operating System. All operational commands and
status monitoring functions are performed through either the supplied Cattrax Cub (single module over
USB) or optional Cattrax (Ethernet connectivity) software application.
With the 3G-NE RX receiver modules, a 3G-SDI (1080p) video signal may be connected as module
input to the IN BNC connector; or the IN fiber connector, if the module is equipped with a fiber receiver
device. Thus, a 3G-NE RX module allows active selection of any one input source from up to two SDI
video input signal sources.
Vidblox 3G-SL RX modules allow connection of HD/3G-SDI video signals as module inputs to the IN
1 and IN 2 BNC connectors; and to the IN 1 and IN 2 fiber connectors, if the module is equipped with a
dual-channel SFP fiber receiver device. Thus, a 3G-SL RX module allows active selection of any one
input source from up to four SDI video input signal sources.
Factory default for input selection is automatic, meaning that Vidblox circuitry detects an active input
and selects it as the source for the module. With the automatic input select function active, the module
searches for valid input signals in the following sequence:
•
Fiber IN channel 1
•
BNC IN 1
•
Fiber IN channel 2 (3G-SL Only)
•
BNC IN 2 (3G-SL Only)
