AJA FR1 and FR2 Video Card Frames User Manual 1 FR2 Multiple Card Frame, Rear Panel Connectors Input/Output BNCs (groups of 9 per cell)—Each unique slot in the FR1/FR2 frames connect to a group of 9 BNCs on the frame rear panel. The actual function of the BNC connectors is dependent on the video card installed. Each group of 9 BNCs corresponds to the card installed in the same position; for example the right-most card connects to the right-most group of connectors at the position on the rear panel.
Note: Each cell group of 9 BNCs contain two BNCs that can be used for a looping reference connection for the corresponding card module. If this method is used, then the reference select setting on that module should be set to “LOOP” and the TERMINATION setting on the module should be set to “OFF” (no termination). Optionally, if you’re using only one of the looping reference BNCs, then the TERMINATION setting should be set to “ON.
