Configuration Edition 1.07 CXPS Manual
For example, your system could be configured as 4 x 4 (1 input card, 1 output card), 8 x 4 (2
input cards, 1 output card), 8 x 8 (2 input cards, 2 output cards), 12 x 4(3 input cards, 1
output card), 12 x 8 (3 input cards, 2 output cards), 12 x 12 (3 input cards, 3 output cards),
and so on.
Input and output cards are capable of supporting either single-link or dual-link DVI signals.
However, there are limitations to consider regarding dual-link inputs and outputs. These
limitations are discussed in “Dual-Link vs Single-Link”.

Dual-link DVI is only supported on odd-numbered slots. This applies to both input and
output channels. This means that on a fully-configured system with nine input cards and
nine output cards, the maximum number of dual-link DVI channels is 20 x 20. The input
and output channels on the cards in odd-numbered cards 1,3,5,7, and 9 would be dual-link
DVI-capable.
All input and output slots support single-link DVI. This means that the CXPS supports the
full 36 x 36 matrix for single-link DVI channels.
For example, let’s say you have a 16 x 8 system. Your CXPS would have four input cards
and two output cards (Remember, there are four channels per card). You could apply dual-
link DVI signals to the input channels in the cards in slots one and three, and you could
display those signals through the output channels on the card in slot one. Your total system
is 16 x 8 and it supports 8 x 4 dual-link DVI channels.

The CXPS accepts DVI and fiber video inputs only. Black Diamond Video offers a line of
single-link DVI and Fiber converters which you can use to convert your Fiber, RGB, HD,
and SDI video signals to single-link DVI, or your DVI signals to Fiber. With the appropriate
converter, you can use any of these video formats as a source for the CXPS.

The CXPS can be configured with up to nine video input cards. Each card has four input
channels. By design, the video input card can accept either dual-link or single-link DVI, or
single-link fiber. However, the CXPS only supports dual-link DVI on cards installed in odd-
numbered slots (as discussed in the previous section, “Dual-Link vs Single-Link”).
The input channels are numbered from left to right and top to bottom, so the card in slot
number one (the farthest left as you look at the back panel) contains input channel numbers
IMPORTANT!
Dual-link DVI is only supported on odd-numbered cards. This applies to both
input and output channels.
