The figure below illustrates a close-up of the M/E connectors. The figure uses M/E 1’s
board, but all M/E connections are identical.
Figure 2-3. M/E Connectors
On each M/E, three input connections are provided for layer A, three are provided for layer
B, and two “Link” connectors are provided for inter-Processor communications.
Following are descriptions of each M/E connector.
a) Analog Input A
One 15-pin D connector is provided for the input to the M/E’s Layer A — visually,
the lower priority of the two layers. Connect a VGA source directly, or connect the
output of a VGA router. This input can also be used for composite and component
video. See the “
M/E Input Notes” section on page 47 for additional information.
In Appendix A, see the “
Analog 15-pin D Connector” section on page 348 for
pinout details.
b) HD/SDI Input A
One BNC connector is provided for the HD/SDI input to Layer A. Connect an SDI
or HDTV source directly, or connect the output of an SDI or HDTV router. Refer to
the “
M/E Input Notes” section on page 47 for additional information.
c) DVI Input A
One DVI-I connector is provided for both digital and analog inputs to the M/E’s
Layer A — visually, the lower priority of the two by default
~ Digital — connect a digital graphics source directly, or connect the
output of a digital graphics router.
~ Analog — using the appropriate adapter cable, connect an analog VGA
source directly, or connect the output of a VGA router.
Refer to the “
M/E Input Notes” section on page 47 for important details on the use
of this connector’s analog component. In Appendix A, refer to the “
DVI-I
Connector Pinouts” section on page 347 for pinout details.
