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 page 57 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 page 179 for
RGB connector pinouts. Refer to the “
DX-700 Monitor Outputs” section on
page 54 for additional information on both monitor output ports.
