Description
Video Input Modules [1]
The 8150 can accept 16 video inputs with two auxiliary outputs, or 14
video inputs with four auxiliary outputs. (Two of the four aux output
paths are used for 16-input configurations.) Inputs can be any
combination of video or key sources. The standard system has two Dual
Serial Input modules; additional Input modules are optional. A
Personality menu lets you configure input crosspoint assignments.
Figure 1-2 shows popular input module combinations. Input modules
accept two inputs each. Input video formats can be dual parallel digital,
dual serial digital, dual component analog (with 8-bit A to D),
component analog plus key (with 10-bit A to D), or composite analog
plus key (with 10-bit A to D). Both of the Component Analog Input
modules accept various RGB and Y/R-Y/B-Y component formats, while
the Component Analog + Key module accepts high resolution video for
4:4:4 A to D conversion.
Crosspoint Matrix [2]
An internal 32 input by 32 output crosspoint matrix routes all video
sources in the 8150. A brief description of the matrix inputs and outputs
appears below.
Crosspoint Matrix Inputs
The following list includes all sources available to the 8150. You can type
the crosspoint input number (0-31) of any source and press the Source
Select pushknob in several menus to directly access these sources.
External Video and Key Inputs
The system is configurable for 14 or 16 inputs. (Two auxiliary video
output feeds are used for 16-input configurations.)
INPUT 1 - 14 – User video source inputs; the crosspoint input number
is the physical input number plus one, e.g., input 1 is crosspoint input
number 2, input 2 is crosspoint input number 3, etc.
INPUT 15, 16 – Additional user video source inputs; input 15 is
crosspoint input number 16, and input 16 is crosspoint input number
17. (Configuring these ports as inputs excludes using them as
auxiliary outputs, and vice versa.)
Mix/Effects Processor Outputs
The Mix/Effects processor provides four re-entries to the routing
switcher:
