Sierra Video

Each scaler on the video card processes one of the possible inputs (CVBS, SDI/HD-SDI,

DVI, etc) and scales it to the desired tile size for the selected position on the output. A

mixer on each video card combines all the video tiles and sends the resulting image to

the CPU card. The final display output comprises all of the tiles in a single picture.

Possible inputs are:

Composite, S-video, RGB, YUV, SDI, HD-SDI, DVI-I

Overlay of audio and graphics information is performed inside each scaler, which

receives control data from the main CPU in real-time for analog/AES/EBU/ channels, or

from the video card itself in the case of embedded SDI/HD-SDI audio.

To allow arbitrary layering of sources, the input board has information about all of the tile

positions, allowing each tile to be displayed as required and enabling picture overlay with

complex borders.

DVI-I inputs replace inputs on BNCs 1 and 2. If DVI-I input 1 is enabled any SDI input on

BNC 1 is replaced by the DVI-I input. Similarly, DVD-I input 2 will replace any SDI input

on BNC 2.

Features and Benefits
