About the DX-700
_~ëáÅ=cÉ~íìêÉë
Basic features of the DX-700=system are listed below:
• System Features
~ Basic configuration is performed using front panel controls on the DX-
700. Advanced configuration is performed using Director Toolset.
~ Seven rear panel slots are provided for input and output modules. All
modules are fully shielded and field-installable.
~ Input and output modules can be configured into “banks” of functionality
— essentially, independent video processors capable of driving one or
more LED walls.
~ The System Module provides Ethernet, diagnostic, DMX and genlock
ports. Analog and digital monitor outputs are provided. DX-700 can be
genlocked to an external reference, to a selected input, or set to free-run.
~ Rack-mountable chassis (5RU).
• Input Features
~ Input modules provide “universal” connections for DVI (RGB or YCbCr),
Dual-DVI (RGB), Component Analog (RGB or YPbPr), NTSC/PAL,
CVBS or Y/C, SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and Dual HD-SDI formats. Multiple
input modules can be assigned to a bank.
~ All inputs except DVI provide a minimum 10-bit color depth, in either
4:4:4 or 4:2:2 format. An advanced motion-adaptive de-interlacer
converts interlaced or progressive segmented frame (PSF) inputs to
progressive format.
~ Processing is performed with a 12-bit minimum color depth.
~ Input balancing can be applied to any input.
• Output Features
~ Output modules are available in two formats: DVI (for legacy Barco tiles),
and NNI (for next-generation Barco tiles).
~ Each output module has three output connections that can be driven
independently or “grouped.” When there are two output modules in a
bank, all six output connections can be driven independently or grouped.
~ Up to two output modules can be included in a bank. Refer to the
“Understanding Banks” section on page 24 for details.
~ Video layers can be alpha-blended (e.g., assigned an attribute of
invisible, opaque, or any level in between), regardless of layer priority.
~ Color-keying is supported, using any input module as a key source.
~ A variety of digital video effects are supported, including freeze, strobe,
and linear color transformations (e.g., monochrome and inverted video).
• Operational Modes
~ Setup and Input wizards
~ Preset save and recall
~ Input, display and system management
~ Input source adjustments (saturation, input balance, sharpness, etc.)
