PRELIMINARY
A cable that is wired as T568A at one end
and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs
reversed) is a "crossover" cable.
A cable that is wired the same at both ends is
called a "straight-through" cable, because
no pin/pair assignments are swapped.

External nc connection (wideband and video BME onl)

For NTSC, PAL, or SECAM video, when the switcher switches between inputs, the

resulting change in image should be seamless, or clean. The Matrix 12800 switcher

can use an external signal to synchronize switching during the vertical interval.

Without the external sync locking feature, switching between inputs can result in a

brief rolling (sync loss) or a brief change in the picture size.

N External sync only works for inputs that have been virtualized as NTSC, PAL,

or SECAM video only, not for inputs virtualized as RGB video.

p External Sync In connector — Connect an external sync signal to this BNC

connection for genlocking the video signal in broadcast or other sync-critical

applications.

External Sync Out connector — Connect any downstream equipment that

requires genlocking to this BNC connector to route the external sync signal

throughout the system in broadcast or other sync-critical applications.

Figure 2-16 shows a basic external sync configuration. The Ext Sync In connector

receives a timing signal. The Out connector allows the signal to be passed on to

another video device, if required.
