Overview

2.3.2 Digital Video I/Os

This section contains some information about the digital video in- and

outputs of VENICE 2U/Element.

DVS usually names the input/output connectors/ports of the digital vid-

eo signals alphabetically: the main video stream is then available, for in-

stance, on port A and the secondary video stream on port B. Individual

video channels on the other hand are labeled with numbers.

SDI in- and output

For YUV you normally require one link (connectors named ’A’, single

link). For YUVA you will need two links (’A’ for YUV and ’B’ for the key

signal). With RGB you will always need two links (’A’ and ’B’, dual link).

Because VENICE 2U/Element provides up to four independent video

channels (different video rasters and color modes), up to four SDI input

ports and four SDI output ports are available. With this YUV can be

transmitted by all channels independently by default. By changing the

speed of the ports to 3-Gbit/s SDI, independent dual-link connections

power supply The redundant power supply provides the sys-

tem with power. It consists of two indepen-

dent power supply units: Even if one fails the

other will still supply enough power to keep

the system operational. Further information

about the power supply can be found in sec-

tion “Power Supply” on page 2-16.

ATX connector panel On this panel you can find the standard con-

nectors of the computer system. Further infor-

mation about them can be found in section

“ATX Connector Panel” on page 2-17.

slot panel connectors The slot panel connectors of the DVS system

provide, for example, connectors that can be

used to connect external storages, and the

graphics card panel. If applicable, other panels

may be installed for internal reasons or on cus-

tomer request. More details about the slot

panel connectors can be found in section “Slot

Panel Connectors” on page 2-18.

The full complement of four video channels is optionally avail-

able. In its standard variant VENICE 2U/Element will be deliv-

ered with two video channels. The HDMI connectors are

optionally available and only for the VENICE 2U.
