NOTES…
1.
See Section 2.5 for details of pinouts.
2.
Some connectors on the equipment rear panel are not used, and are hence not shown in Figure
2.3.
Video Input
The MCE accepts video in digital serial format, connect the video source to
the SDI IN connector. A timing reference can be connected to the HSYNC
IN connector from the studio black/burst signal, however, this input is not
normally used on this model.
Audio Input
The MCE accepts two channels of stereo audio in analogue and AES/EBU
digital formats. Connect the audio source to the AUDIO IN connector.
Alternatively, the audio can be embedded in the video data input on the
SDI digital video inputs.
IF Outputs
Connect the main IF output from the MCE to the external up-link
equipment. An IF output is also provided for monitoring purposes if
required.
Control
Remote control is achieved by connecting a control workstation to the
ETHERNET 1 or ETHERNET 2 interface connector. The Ethernet interface
also enables the download of a logo overlay to the equipment (using the
TFTP protocol). Contact Customer Services (see Preliminary Pages) for
further information if the remote control or logo overlay facilities are to be
used.
The REMOTE CONTROL IN connector provides an RS-485 port for remote
control of the MCE, if required. This connector is not normally used in this
configuration.
The HOST STATUS connector provides a low level control interface for
test engineer use only. Do not make any connection to this connector.
Power Supply
Section 2.4, AC Mains Operating Voltage and Earthing provides details of
power supply connection, Protective earthing and safety. Read all the
instructions carefully and take note of all warnings and cautions.
Alarm/Status
If required, connect an external status monitoring device to the ALARM
connector.
Technical Earth
Connect the MCE's Technical earth to a suitable point.
