Video Processors

b)Source Link Out

One DVI connector is provided for the M/E’s Source Link Output. For wide screen and multi-screen applications, this connector loops your inputs to the next VP or VPx in the chain. Because all analog and digital inputs reside in the digital domain, each “link” output loops those inputs to the next Processor’s scalers.

An M/E’s Source Link Output must always be connected to its associated M/E Source Link Input on the next chassis, and never cross-routed.

Please note:

~In a multi-chassis configuration, the link can extend to all chassis.

~In all cases, the looped inputs are “pre-scaler.”

In Chapter 3, refer to the “Program and Source Link Connections” section on page 98 for details on proper connector usage in wide screen configurations.

In Appendix A, refer to the “DVI Connector Pinouts” section on page 369 for pinout details.

c)Source Link In

One DVI connector is provided for the M/E’s Source Link Input. For wide screen and multi-screen applications, this connector accepts the looped outputs from the previous VP or VPx in the chain. An M/E’s Source Link Input must always be connected to its associated M/E Source Link Output on the previous chassis, and never cross-routed.

In Chapter 3, refer to the “Program and Source Link Connections” section on page 98 for details on proper connector usage in wide screen configurations.

In Appendix A, refer to the “DVI Connector Pinouts” section on page 369 for pinout details.

d)DVI Input B

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

~Digital — connect a digital graphics source directly to this input, or more typically, connect the output of a digital graphics router.

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

Refer to the “M/E Input Notes” section on page 56 for 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.
