2.3.2 Digital Video I/Os
This section contains some information about the digital video in- and
outputs of VENICE 2U.
R&S DVS usually names the input/output connectors/ports of the digi-
tal video signals alphabetically: the main video stream is then available,
for instance, on port A and the secondary video stream on port B. Indi-
vidual video channels on the other hand are labeled with numbers.
SDI in- and output
For YUV you normally require one link (connectors named ’A’, single
link). For YUVA you will need two links (’A’ for YUV and ’B’ for the key
signal). With RGB you will always need two links (’A’ and ’B’, dual link).
Because VENICE 2U provides up to four independent video channels
(different video rasters and color modes), up to four SDI input ports and
four SDI output ports are available. With this YUV can be transmitted
by all channels independently by default. By changing the speed of the
ports to 3-Gbit/s SDI, independent dual-link connections can be real-
ized. They provide all the features of a standard dual-link connection,
but require only one connector instead of two.
Video channel 1 and, if available, video channel 3 can also be switched
to a standard dual-link connection. Then, the second video channels of

slot panel connectors The slot panel connectors of the R&S DVS sys-
tem provide, for example, connectors that can
be used to connect external storages, and the
graphics card panel. If applicable, other panels
may be installed for internal reasons or on cus-
tomer request. More details about the slot
panel connectors can be found in section “Slot
Panel Connectors” on page 2-22.
The full complement of four video channels is optionally available. In its
standard variant VENICE 2U will be delivered with two video channels.
The HDMI connectors are optionally available. In- and output of 2K,
4:4:4 and uncompressed video material is only possible with a
VENICE 2U system including the ingest and transform option.
The following information may not be valid for all VENICE 2U hardware
variants. Further information about VENICE 2U and available options
