The figure below illustrates a close-up of the M/E connectors on the VPx. Even though the figure uses M/E 1’s board, all M/E connections are identical on the VPx.

Note

a

The M/E connectors on a VPx are identical to those on a VP, minus the analog and HD/SDI connectors.

On each M/E, one input connection is provided for layer A, one for layer B, and two “Link” connectors for inter-Processor communications.

Important

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 M/E connector on a VPx.

a)DVI Input A

One DVI-I connector is provided for both digital and analog inputs to the M/E’s Layer A and background channel.

~Digital — connect a digital graphics source directly, or connect the output of a digital graphics router.

~Analog — using the appropriate adapter cable, connect an analog VGA source directly, or connect the output of a VGA router.

Refer to the “M/E Input Notes” section on page 56 for important details on the use of this connector’s analog component. In Appendix A, refer to the DVI-I Connector Pinouts” section on page 370 for pinout details.
