5.1.3 HD/SD-SDI IN/ASI IN/COMPOSITE
Both video input ports use a 75 Ohm female 1.0/2.3 3Gbps connector for SD-SDI or HD-SDI or
SD composite video input streams. The input bit rate is 270 Mbps for SD and 1.485 Gbps to 2.97
Gbps for HD. The Composite SD inputs can support either NTSC or PAL video formats.
In addition these input connectors can be used as an input for ASI DVB compliant Transport
Streams. See section 7, software overview, for details on the Input Modes. This section explains
how to switch from SDI IN to ASI IN using the Cobham M2TE Web Configurator.

5.1.5 I/O – CONTROL
The ‘I/O - CONTROL’ connector is a male, high-density VHDCI-68. It is used to provide the
interface for audio, Mic Bias, Auxiliary data, KLV data, RS-232, LAN/IP control & streaming, I/O
interface.
Normally, the M2TE is controlled via the LAN/IP interface via an internally launched WEB
interface. However, it also has two separate RS232 channels/interfaces that can be used one at
a time for control and monitoring the unit. These same interfaces can be used to send
asynchronous low-Rate DATA along with the audio and video.
