2) Latches
Two Latches are provided to ensure precise module insertion and extraction.
Care is required when inserting or removing modules. Refer to the “Module
Insertion and Extraction” section on page57 for instructions.
3) Genlock Inputs
Two BNC connectors are provided for the DX-700’s Genlock Inputs, one each for
H / CS IN and V IN. These connections enable the DX-700 to lock to an external
black burst or composite sync signal.
4) Expansion Lock Output
One BNC connector is provided for the DX-700’s Expansion Lock Output (EXP
LOCK), a signal that enables the DX-700 to synchronize additional DX-700 units
— when external stacking is used. The EXP LOCK port (on the “master”)
connects to the H / CS IN connector on the first slave unit. Additional units can be
synchronized in this manner.
Figure 2-11. Sample genlock configuration, external stacking
Note that when the EXP LOCK signal connects to a slave DX-700, it also serves
as a serial communication link between units to provide real-time command
execution across all connected DX-700s.
5) RGBHV Monitor Out
One 15-pin D connector is provided for the RGBHV Monitor Output. In
Appendix A, refer to the “Analog 15-pin D Connector” section on page179 for
RGB connector pinouts. Refer to the “DX-700 Monitor Outputs” section on
page54 for addit ional information on both monitor output ports.
