M/E Input Notes
h) Analog Input B
One 15-pin D connector is provided for the input to the M/E’s Layer B — visually,
the higher priority of the two by default. Connect a VGA source directly, or
connect the output of a VGA router. This input can also be used for composite
and component video. See the “
M/E Input Notes ” section on page 47 for
additional information about video inputs.
In Appendix A, see the “ Analog 15-pin D Connector ” section on page 348 for
pinout details.

Please note the following important points regarding M/E inputs:
•
Single Processor Configurations — Inputs are connected to the Processor in
the normal manner. You can connect a total of six inputs to each M/E:
~
Three inputs can connect to layer A (HD/SDI, analog and DVI)
~
Three inputs can connect to layer B (HD/SDI, analog and DVI)
Using the setup menus, each input can be assigned to a source button on the
Controller, but only two inputs can be used “on air” from an M/E at a time — the
one assigned to layer A and the one assigned to layer B.
Thus, in a three-M/E configuration, you can populate all 18 physical inputs, but
only six PIPs can be used “on air” — using both layers on each mixer.
•
Multiple Processor Configurations — In these configurations, you only need to
connect inputs to the first Processor. Inputs are automatically looped to all other
Processors via the
Source Link connections.
•
Routers — You can connect sources directly to the M/E inputs, or for the greatest
flexibility, you to connect router outputs to the M/E inputs. In this manner, one
Processor input represents any number of video or graphic sources.
•
HD/SDI Inputs — For the two HD/SDI input connectors on an M/E, you can set
the input to accept SDI (SMPTE 259M-C, NTSC or PAL) or HD-SDI (SMPTE
292M, HDTV).
•
DVI-I Connectors — There are two DVI-I input connectors for each M/E ( A and
B ), and each contains both a digital and an analog input. Depending upon your
application (and the location of the M/E), 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 of the input can be used as both a scaled
input source or as an unscaled
Background / DSK source.
~
Using an optional breakout cable, the “analog” side accepts connections
from a VGA output or VGA router. 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.
