3.6 Routing Tab
The Routing tab is used to set how the video inputs and outputs are configured
in the Pluto. There are four possible configurations: Single-Head, Dual-Head,
Stereo, or 4K. When the configuration is switched (through the drop-down menu
at the top of this tab, or the front-panel on the Pluto itself) a box will appear
with any options appropriate for that configuration.
3.6.1 Single-Head Mode
Single-head mode is the default. It
takes a single input, which can be
either 4:2:2 or 4:4:4, with a single
processing path. If the output is 4:2:2,
the same processed video is sent to
both the A and B outputs (labelled C1
and D1, or OUTA and OUTB).
There are no options for single-head
mode.
3.6.2 Dual Head Mode
Switching the Pluto into Dual Head
mode effectively "splits" the device into
2 separate and independently
controllable 4:2:2 video processing
paths:
Head A
Uses Input A1 and Output C1 on rear of
chassis. Head A has all features of the
Pluto available to it.
Head B
Uses Input B1 and Output D1 on rear
of chassis. Head B cannot be used for
patch generation, test signals or the
