Connecting the VS-48HDxl 3G HD/SD SDI 4x8 Matrix Switcher

6.1 Connecting the VS-48HDxl in the Dual-Link Mode

You can use your VS-48HDxl in the dual-link mode to switch any of the two

dual-link SDI inputs to any or all of the four dual-link SDI outputs, as the

illustration in Figure 3 shows.

To connect the VS-48HDxl 3G HD/SD-SDI 4x4 Matrix Switcher in the dual-

link mode, do the following

1. Connect one or both of the SDI sources to the INPUT DUAL LINK BNC

connectors. For example, a dual-link HD/SD SDI camera to DUAL LINK 1

(inputs 1 and 2) and a dual-link 3G HD video server to DUAL LINK 2

(inputs 3 and 4).

2. Connect the SDI OUTPUT BNC connectors to up to four

SDI acceptors. For

example, OUTPUT DUAL LINK 1 (outputs 1 and 2) to a dual-link preview

display, and OUTPUT DUAL LINK 4 (outputs 7 and 8) to a dual-link HD

SDI mixer.

3. Set the dipswitches (see section 6.3).

4. If required

, connect:

 A Genlock source to the GENLOCK BNC connector

 The LOOP BNC connector to the GENLOCK connector of the next

unit in the line, and release the TERM button for looping

5. Connect a PC and/or controller (if required), to the:

 RS-232 port (see section 6.4), and/or

 RS-485 port (see section 6.5), and/or

 ETHERNET connector (see section 6.6)

6. If required

, connect a remote dry contact switch (refer to section 6.9).

7. Connect

the power cord

8. Set the machine to the dual-link mode (see section 6.2).

1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-48HDxl. After connecting your VS-48HDxl, switch

on its power and then switch on the power on each device

2 When only one output is required, connect that output, and leave the other output unconnected

3 Not illustrated in Figure 2

4 Pushed in terminates the input. Release when the input extends to another unit

5 We recommend that you use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine
