VPx Hardware
•
In a
1 M/E
system:
~
M/E 1
connector priorities are relative to the connectors being used:
•
The
DVI Input A
or
Analog Input A
connector could be set up
as a Background input (lowest priority).
•
The
DVI Input B
or
Analog Input B
connector could be setup
as a DSK input (highest priority).
This leaves the other connectors to fall in between Background and
DSK. The rule stating that “
A
” connectors are lower in priority than “
B
”
connectors still holds.
~
M/E 2
and
3
connectors are
not installed.

Please note the following important points regarding M/E inputs:
•
Single Processor Configurations
— In the special widescreen “preview”
configuration, a VPx
can
be used as a standalone destination that accepts DVI
input signals only.
•
Multiple Processor Configurations
— In these configurations, you only need to
connect inputs to the first VP. Inputs are automatically looped to all other VP and
VPx units via the
Source Link
connections.
•
DVI-I Connectors
— There are two DVI-I connectors for each M/E (
A
and
B
), and
each contains a digital and an analog input. Depending upon your application,
you can use the input for a scaled or an unscaled source:
~
The “digital” side accepts connections from a standard DVI output or
digital graphic router. This side can be used as both a scaled input
source or as an unscaled
Background / DSK
source.
~
Using a breakout cable, the “analog” side accepts analog connections.
This side is designed for inputting the system’s unscaled sources —
Background
and
DSK
.
•
The lowest priority M/E in your system must be used for
inputting the
Background
source.
•
The highest priority M/E in your system must be used for
inputting the
DSK
source.

Please note the following important points regarding the Processor’s program outputs:
•
HD/SDI Outputs
— For the HD/SDI output, you can set the output to be
SDI
(SMPTE 259M-C, NTSC or PAL) or
HD-SDI
(SMPTE 292M, HDTV). When you
set this output resolutions, all output connectors will output that same resolution.
•
DVI Program Outputs
— DVI Program outputs are digital only. They do not have
analog connections.
•
Program 1 Outputs
— Edge feathering and data doubling are present on all
Program 1 Outputs, provided that those features are enabled in the system’s
Output Menu
.
