Therefore, during normal operating conditions, the input AC and Output DC LEDs will turn green.
Note that the power supplies are installed upside down in the E2 model, so the silkscreen markings
will also appear upside down. Power supplies in the S3 model are installed in the correct orientation
for reading silkscreen markings.
Ethernet port
One RJ-45 connector is provided for 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet communications with the Event Master
series processor. The port is used for running the Web Interface and for connection to an external device.
The Ethernet connector is compatible with:
• Standard RJ-45 Ethernet cables
• Neutrik EtherCon® series cables
For pinout details, refer to the section dedicated to the pinout in Appendix A, “ Standard connector pinouts ” ,
page 549.
Genlock Input BNC (with passive Loop-through)
The Genlock input supports analog NTSC and PAL Blackburst, as well as HD tri-level sync signals, per
SMPTE 274M and SMPTE 296M. The passive loop-through connector passes the Genlock signal to another
device downstream of the Event Master series processor. The Loop-through output will continue to function
even when the device is turned off. When the device is genlocked and the lock source is lost, the output of the
unit will automatically switch to
“ free-run ” state without any discernible “ glitching ” on the output display device.
As the loop-thru is passive a 75Ohm termination is necessary for stable operation.
For Genlock connections details, refer to the Specifications Appendix.
Expansion Link cards
When event requirements exceed the capacity of a single unit in terms of input, output, or number of layers,
multiple Event Master processors can be linked together through the Expansion Link cards. The cards are
connected with Barco-supplied, high-bandwidth, bi-directional Expansion Link cables. These cables are also
commercially available.
Depending on the Event Master processor model, two, one, or no slots are reserved at left side of the rear
panel for Expansion Link cards.

1 E2 Jr. and S3 – 4K Jr. do not have Link cards, but these models can be upgraded with Link cards,
which would go into the same slots as the Link cards on the E2 and the S3 – 4K.
2 The EX has two (2) Expansion Links integrated in the chassis.
For more details on capabilities of expansion, refer to the section “ Expansion Link Card ” , page 78.
VPU cards
VPU (Video Processing Unit) cards are at the heart of the Event Master Series of products. All scaling, layer
effects and image compositing happens within these cards. Each card supports the scaling requirements for
the product line with the award-winning Athena scaling technology at resolutions up to 4K. Due to their
reprogrammability any future video processing capabilities will be implemented in these cards. Current
capabilities include:
• Support for 2K, Dual-Link, and 4K Scaling
• Layer compositing over unscaled Backgrounds
• Layer effects, including Borders and Shadows
• Keying effects
• Key frame effects
On an E2 and E2 Jr. units, the VPU cards are not accessible through the rear panel. On S3 – 4K and S3 – 4K Jr.
units, slots 2 and 3 are reserved for the VPU cards. The EX expansion box has no VPU cards.
For more details on VPU card, refer to the section “ VPU Card ” , page 81.
