Panel with audio and remote control connections

With the board you also have the breakout cable, RS-422 panel and cable. On the

RS-422 panel there are two connectors, one DB-25 connector for digital audio (AES/

EBU) and one DB-9 connector for remote in/out.

Item Explanation

Digital

Audio (AES/

EBU)

DB-25 connector (female) for audio and LTC in- and output; provides

either four stereo channels digital audio (channels 1 to 8) or three

channels audio plus LTC; alternatively it can be used to provide the

digital audio channels 9 to 16.

Remote In/

Out

DB-9 connector (female), serial RS-422 interface for master or slave

control.

The breakout cable has 4 XLR male and 4 XLR female connectors to interface directly

with audio devices. The RS-422 panel’s cable is mounted on the back of the RS-422

panel’s board and connected to the Atomix LT board.

13.2.2 Supported Codecs

Currently, the DVS implementation only supports the Microsoft DirectShow

Filtergraph framework to render video clips. This enables you to play for example

MPEG files or streams from a server.

For more information on how to use video clips in Viz Artist, see the Viz Artist user’s

guide and in particular the SoftClip and MoViz plugins.

Basically the DVS board can play everything that can be played out by the Windows

Media Player, so it depends on what codecs/DirectShow filters that are installed on the

machine.
