8.1 TECHNICAL SETUP AND WIRING
Video connection of
the DVE device
The DVE device is connected at the ”DVE Key” and ”DVE Fill” outputs of the
switcher.
If the DVE device is not equipped with a ”Flying Key” channel, only the ”Fill” con-
nection is required.
Connect the key and fill outputs of the DVE device as inputs to the switcher.
Assignment of video
sources in the
switcher
The inputs to which the DVE fill and key signals are connected are selected in the
switcher setup.
This setting will be required for the FX Loop mode.
Control connection of
the DVE device
Connect the DVE device and the switcher via their remote control ports. In most
cases this is done using a 9 pin 1:1 D-type cable and the RS-422 interface.
For this purpose the ports 1, 2 and 3 are provided at the switcher.
Each of these ports may be used for the connection of a DVE device. The desired
port is set in the switcher setup.
Exception: The DVE types A53D and A57 may only be connected at port 1
using RS-232 interface.

Port 2 RS-422 J3 Serial Port 2 J11 Serial Port 2
Port 3 RS-422 J5 Serial Port 3 J12 Serial Port 3
Cross-bar control – J13 Serial Port XBAR
The switch-over between port 1 with RS-232 and port 1 with RS-422 is made with
the selection of the corresponding DVE protocol.
Assignment of the
protocol in the
switcher
Select the corresponding DVE protocol (for the port at which the DVE device is
connected). A general DVE type is ”VTR protocol”.
