Serial Digital Inputs
Additional serial digital inputs are available in sets of eight — up to a maximum of 64 serial digital
inputs. For all switchers, input quantities of 32, 40, 48, 56, and 64 inputs are possible. Please note:
• Inputs can be freely assigned to any panel pushbutton or shifted pushbutton.
• Inputs can be “hidden” and accessible only as alpha channels.
• Inputs can be “locked out” if they are not used.
Because of the system’s flexibility with inputs, you can install and “map” inputs in any configuration
desired — without restriction.
Input Carrier Boards
Each Input Carrier Board option is a full-length board that replaces the standard (half-length) Input
Crosspoint Board . The option provides a standard matrix for eight digital inputs, but also provides
slots for up to four hardware options (for example, the Ultimatte Insider or Aspectizer ).

of the two main preview outputs. This information is color-coded, and can be positioned and
displayed according to user preferences. Eight control panel buttons are dedicated to the

shown in red letters.
• The “ VTR Timecode ” overlay displays the timecode of a VTR, DDR, or other device
when used as the background of main preview output (e.g. 12:59:59:23 ). The device’s
