4.0 CONNECTING SOURCES
4.1 Connecting a device to the projector
Connect your source to an Input board inserted into one of the available input slots
located at the rear of the projector.
Sources are connected to the Input Panel located at the back of the projector. The Input Panel allows one image
processor board and up to 4 input cards to be inserted. The input cards are hot swappable, they may be plugged in
and out while the projector is running.
NB: The image processor should only be replaced when the projector is off or when it is in standby mode.
There are 5 option Input boards to populate the 4 available slots:
• Analog BNC
• Dual Link DVI
• High-Definition Twin HDMI
• Dual SD/HD-SDI (Serial Digital Interface)
• Standard Video Decoder
These cards slide into on of the 4 option slots, shown in figure below. The option cards can be used in any slot. One
or more of the option slots may be used with any combination of option cards, including multiples of the same card
type. There may be up to 2 active inputs being displayed at any time, either from one card or from 2 cards. These 2
inputs can be routed to outputs or to the main or PIP video image.
4.2 Status Leds on Input Boards
There are status leds located on the faceplate of each input card and indicate the following:
• Power ON - Green
• Signal Valid - Green
• Signal Invalid - OFF
4.3 Connecting 3D Sources
High Bandwidth Signals: frame packing at 96-120Hz
High bandwidth signals mixing two 48-60Hz signals for each eye into a single 96-120Hz signal by interleaving a left-
eye frame with the corresponding right-eye frame. This unit is capable to decode and display the following formats:
• 96-120Hz <330Mhz on Dual DVI input and Analog BNC inputs
• 96-120Hz <165MHz on all inputs (up to 720p@120Hz) except when using SDI input.
• 24-30 images per eye (such as movies) which has doubled framerate to 96-120Hz but limited to 165Mhz pixel
clock.
Twin inputs and Signal Compatibility
In addition to the standard 3D-video sources, this unit can be configured to display 3D signals encoded on separate
inputs for each eye within the limit of 48-60 images per second per eye:
• using two DVI-D input boards.
• using one HDMI input board and both HDMI input available on it.
