Rohde & Schwarz DVS GmbH
R&S DVS usually names the input/output connectors/ports of the
digital video signals alphabetically: the main video stream is then
available, for instance, on port A and the secondary video stream
on port B. However, because some systems offer more connec-
tors providing sometimes different functions, the labeling of the
ports can be supplemented by numbers (e.g. ’1/A’, ’2/B’, etc.).
For YUV you normally require one link (connectors named ’A’,
single link). For YUVA you will need two links (’A’ for YUV and ’B’
for the key signal). With RGB you will always need two links (’A’
and ’B’, dual link).
On CLIPSTER the input ports can be switched in the software
between ports A and C in single-link video modes, and ports A/B
and C/4 in dual-link modes. With this you can directly connect
two input sources to the system and no extra source switch is
required.
During an output the ports C/4, 5/6, and 7/8 (dual-link pairs; in
single link ports C, 5 and 7 only) mirror the outputs of A/B. The
SD-only ports provide at all times a (down-converted) output in
YUV SD. In special rasters (e.g. special 4K rasters, tiling of 4K
image to quad HD-SDI) the connector pairs (i.e. A/B to 7/8) can
provide different image content. Additionally, the outputs can be
provided with customizable information superimposed on the
image (head-up display/burn-in’ feature, e.g. with timecode,
keycode, logos, comments, etc.).
The two video streams for in- as well as output of 3D/stereo-
scopic projects are provided at the connectors A/B and C/4 (dual
link; in single link ports A and B only). The connector pairs 5/6
and 7/8 provide a mirror of the connectors A/B and C/4. During
an input the left eye will be captured at the ports A/B and the
right eye at C/4 (dual link; in single link ports A and B only). To
perform a stereoscopic input you have to select special rasters in
the software (tagged with ’STEREO’). For an output you should
have configured ’dual stream’ in the software. The selected raster
will then be output at the two ports when available for the
3D/stereoscopic workflow. The stream/port assignment for left
and right eye can be configured in the software.
For in- and output CLIPSTER also supports 3-Gbit/s SDI which
provides all features of a standard dual-link connection, but
requires only one connector instead of two (SMPTE 425, level A
and B). A 3-Gbit/s input signal can be automatically detected by
the software. For an output it has to be enabled via the software.
