12-Channel Video Input Card (ES3311-2)
The ES3311-2 Input Card allows external analog video sources to be digitized and used by the
VN-QUANTUM Processor.
Each card has 12 source inputs which can be used with either composite video or s-video sources.
Full auto-detection is provided on each input, allowing a wide range of standard source types to be
connected without the need for any further configuration.
The maximum number of ES3311-2 cards that can be installed is limited only by the number of
available card slots (see table on page 57). With the minimum of one Output Card fitted:
 The ES3301-2 Card Frame can accommodate up to 14 Input Cards,
allowing a maximum of 168* video source inputs.
 The ES3302 & 3304 Card Frame can accommodate up to 7 Input Cards,
allowing a maximum of 84* video source inputs.
*The maximum number of video sources that can be displayed simultaneously is determined by
the rectangulation limit of the Output Cards (for further details see page 74).

YPrPb sources. Full auto-detection is provided on each input, allowing a wide range of standard
source types to be connected without the need for any further configuration.
The maximum number of ES3312 cards that can be installed is limited only by the number of available
card slots (see table on page 57). With the minimum of one Output Card fitted:
