SDI and RS-422 Extension Card Connectors

SDI and remote control connections, DVS Centaurus II

The SDI and RS-422 panel is included in the standard configuration of DVS Centaurus II.

It provides the connectors for the second link of the dual-link connections. Additionally

a CVBS output is installed on this panel that provides a composite video signal showing

the fill signal generated by Viz Engine.

The RS-422 connector available on the panel is a DB-15 (HD) connector.

Note: This connector does not provide any additional functionality in regards

to Viz Engine and should be ignored. The RS-422 port is not accessible to the

operating system and can therefore not be used to transceive any kind of data by

third-party applications.

• (HD) SDI In B: BNC connector for a video input at port B (serial digital interface);

usually used for an input of the second video channel in single-link ( YUV ) or the

second stream of YUVA or RGBA in dual-link mode.

• (HD) SDI Out B: BNC connector for a video output at port B (serial digital

interface); usually used for an output of the second video channel in single-link (

YUV ) or the second stream of YUVA or RGBA in dual-link mode.

• CVBS Out: BNC connector for a composite video burst signal, either analogue

output of SD video or used for synchronization purposes. Provides the fill output of

Viz engine as an analogue signal.

• RS-422 In & Out: DB-15 (HD) connector (female), serial RS-422 interface for

master/slave control, a breakout cable to two DB-9 connectors is included in the

delivery.

Note: This RS-422 connector is inactive and not accessible to the OS and can

therefore not be used to transceive data.
