Hardware Connectivity
P
Ower
Network I/O – SDI includes redundant PSU with IEC connectors, either supply can
individually power the unit – both should be used for redundancy. Ideally these should
be connected to separate mains supplies to provide external connection redundancy.
SDI
8 SDI inputs and 8 SDI outputs with auto format selection up to 3G SDI. These are video
thru circuits with 16 channels of Audio De-Embedding and Embedding. Sample Rate
Conversion (SRC) per audio group. The SDI circuits are represented in the
Network I/O –
SDI Software Manager
as cards 2, 4, 6 and 8. Each card includes 32 audio channels 1-16
being SDI 1, 17-32 being SDI 2 on each card.

Primary and Secondary Dante connections (Net1 and Net2) are provided on RJ45
connectors. The Primary port is the control connection for the Network I/O SDI
configuration tool.
A pair of LEDs per port provides network connection and activity information:
ACT flashes when there is network activity
GB shows solid green when connected to a gigabit network
Note: The Dante Controller application cannot be used on the secondary connection.
MADI
Three MADI ports can be provided: two fibre and one copper. The optional fibre ports can
be configured to function as a redundant pair. The interface is via SFP sockets, for use
with multimode or singlemode LC fibre cables. The third MADI port is via standard BNC
connectors.
S
yNC
Video Sync or Word Clock input on BNC, plus AES11 sync input on XLR are provided. The
unit can also be synchronized from the network (using Dante PTP) any of the MADI
connections or AES inputs. The order of the sync preference can be defined using the
software application.
AeS
The AES connection on 25-way D-type connectors allow additional AES connectivity with
Audio routing to any of the other connected devices.
(PHD I/O)
Other/future usage. Not currently implemented.
See Appendix C, page 18 for connector pinout information.
