Figure 2-4. VPx Rear Panel
Please note:
Connectors 1 through 10 are part of the VPx’s output board, and all output
connections are standard.
All program and preview DVI output connectors are digital only, and do not include
analog pins.
In a widescreen configuration, a VPx cannot function in a standalone manner, but
must always work downstream of a standard VP. Here, a VPx cannot be the first
processor in an Encore configuration.
In the special widescreen “preview” configuration, a VPx can be used as a
standalone destination that accepts DVI input signals only — but no other input
types are accepted, and no genlock circuitry is provided.
Following are descriptions of each rear panel connector and section on the VPx.
1) Preview Out DVI
One DVI connector is provided for Digital Preview Output. In Appendix A, refer
to the “DVI Connector Pinouts” section on page369 for pinouts.
2) Preview Out Analog
One 15-pin D connector is provided for Analog Preview Output. In Appendix A,
refer to the “Analog 15-pin D Connector” section on page 371 for pinouts.
