HD-SDI Video Outputs

Channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 have HD-SDI video outputs per SMPTE 292M.

CVBS Monitor Outputs

Channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 have letterboxed composite video monitoring outputs.

Genlock Sync Reference

The MAXX-2400HD is designed to be referenced to an external genlock source in the form of RS-170 black. The GENLOCK input provides a fixed 75-ohm termination. An internal crystal reference is also provided so that the server can be used as a stand-alone player.

Gigabit Ethernet Port

A Gigabit Ethernet port is provided on the MAXX-2400HD. The NET 1 port is intended for external transfer of program content between video servers. The NET 1 port is also used for remote control using the optional Remote Workstation software. The NET 2 port is reserved for future use and is not active. Use only the NET 1 port.

LTC Time Code Input

An LTC time code input is provided for Channel 1 and Channel 2. The LTC input provides a >10k ohm termination. This input may be selected by means of the On-Screen user interface and recorded as a time code reference. This input may be selected by means of the On-Screen user interface and used as a start time reference. Note that time code is not actually recorded, the time code read at the start of recording is captured. When the clip is played back, the time code (in display, VITC and LTC outputs) starts from the captured time and proceeds continuously.

LTC Time Code Output

An LTC time code output is provided on the LTC OUT BNC connector. It may be selected by means of the On-Screen user interface to output time code from any of the four video channels during playback. The LTC output has a source impedance of <5 ohms.

Keyboard

Attach the alphanumeric keyboard to the purple 5-pin KEYBD connector to control the server and manage clips with the On-Screen graphic user interface. The server will only recognize the keyboard if it is attached before power up.

Mouse

A two-button scroll mouse is provided with the MAXX-2400HD. Plug the mouse into the green 5-pin MOUSE port. Do not use the USB ports, even if the supplied mouse is USB capable. Note that the server will only recognize the mouse if it is attached before power up.

Monitor

A VESA-compliant computer monitor may be connected to the 15-pin VGA video port. The MAXX-2400HD resolution is fixed at 1024 x 768 pixels, with a refresh rate of 72 Hz. This is best-
