Rear I/O Panel Indicators
There are two rear I/O panels available for the B264 encoder, to support different analog audio
inputs:
 Unbalanced Audio I/O Panel
 Balanced Audio I/O Panel
All B264 I/O panels have two software-configurable Composite/SDI video inputs on standard
BNC connectors, two ASI output ports on standard BNC connectors, and two 100/1000 Mb/s
Ethernet ports on standard RJ-45 connectors. The unbalanced audio I/O panel includes four
RCA connectors, and the balanced audio I/O panel includes four terminal blocks. The panels are
depicted in the next page.
Each of the video inputs has a green indicator LED, with the following states:
 LED off: no video signal detected, or input not configured.
 LED flashing: video input locked to the video signal.
o LED flashing about once per second: input video is SD.
o LED flashing about twice per second: input video is HD-SDI.
o LED flashing about 4 times per second: input video is 3G-SDI (1080p60).
Each of the ASI output ports has a green indicator LED, with the following states:
 LED off: ASI output port is disabled.
 LED flashing: ASI output port is configured and enabled.
Each of the Gigabit Ethernet ports has two indicator LEDs, with the following states:
 Green LED:
o Off: No link
o On: Link
 Yellow LED:
o Off: No activity (transmit and/or receive)
o Flashing: Port is currently transmitting and/or receiving
