CONNECTING THE SVU300 3-1. CONNECTING THE Smart Vu The Smart Vu can be set up with up to 7 different sources, and will drive up to 1 digital DVI-D source, 2 SDSDI sources and 4 analog computer/video sources simultaneously. The versatility of the Smart Vu will allow for almost any event configuration and cater for all your projection needs. The intuitive rear panel of the Smart Vu will let you set up for the first time quickly and easily. Here is an example of a typical Smart Vu setup.
3-2. THE SVU300 REAR PANEL Overview The Smart Vu rear panel is equipped with 4 universal digital and analog inputs. Inputs #1 through #4 (4) are universal analog inputs. Input #5 is only a DVI-D signal. The Main and Preview (7) outputs will allow for the Smart Vu high resolution digital and analog signals to be viewed on screen and/or on a preview monitor (see also Output Specifications in this chapter).
Inputs #1 to #5 UNIVERSAL COMPUTER & VIDEO INPUTS: Universal Inputs accept computer sources (RGBHV, RGBS, and RGsB (SOG) signals), standard TV/VIDEO sources (Composite video, S.VIDEO), Component video (YUV, RGBS & RGsB (SOG)), and HDTV sources (480p, 720p & 1080i). HD15 : 1 x Universal Analog input on female HD15 connector. COMPUTER SOURCES: The device accepts the following computer signals : RGBHV, RGB/S, and RGsB on inputs 1-4 and DVI input 1.
RGBS VIDEO SOURCES: This signal is widely used in broadcasting and is available on European DVD player. The RGB/S signal is transmitted with 4 coaxial cables, and also has a better picture quality than COMPOSITE and S.VIDEO signals. The RGB/S connectors are usually BNC connectors for Broadcasting equipment, and SCART connector for DVD players. For inputs 1-4 : connect a HD15 to 4 x BNC cable between the HD15 connector of the device and your RGB/S source.
Main Outputs MAIN OUTPUT: ANALOG: 1 x analog output for the main display device on female HD15 connector. DIGITAL/ANALOG: 1 x main output on female DVI-I connector (simultaneous analog and digital). AUDIO SWITCHER: Audio Stereo Switcher card features 6 inputs and 2 outputs. An additional auxiliary input can be mixed with any other input. Master Volume and individual input level can be adjusted. Each input and output offers balanced or unbalanced connections.
OPERATING THE SVU300 4-1. THE SVU300 FRONT PANEL Overview The highly intuitive front panel of the Smart Vu was designed by Analog Way engineers to simply and quickly meet all of your event needs.
