A series of Connection Charts are provided on the following pages to assist with your
input connections. The following topics are discussed:
• Connection Overview
• Chart Instructions
• Sample Connection Charts
• Blank Connection Charts

Please remember the following important points regarding system interconnection:
• Each M/E has two scalers, each with three inputs: Analog, HD/SDI and DVI-I.
The DVI-I connector has both an
analog and a digital connection.
• You can connect sources and assign them to Controller buttons — but only one
source can be assigned to a scaler at a time. For unscaled sources, connect a
maximum of two backgrounds and two DSK sources.
• You can connect a source directly to an input, or you can connect the output of a
router to an input. The use of routers offers less restrictions with regard to
assigning sources to layers.
• Analog inputs can be used to connect composite, S-Video (Y/C) and component
video sources. Customer supplied breakout cables are required.
• The DSK source always connects to one of the two DVI-I inputs on the M/E 1
board — electronically, the highest priority board in the system.
• Background sources always connect to the lowest priority board in your system,
but that board varies depending upon the number of M/E boards present. In
Chapter 2, see the “
A Word About M/E Connector Priority” section on page 50.
• Remember that VPx is designed for widescreen and stack configurations. A VPx
cannot be used in a single processor configuration.
Note
The analog connection on the DVI connector can only be
used for unscaled inputs. It cannot be sent to the scaler. The
digital side can go to either the scaled or unscaled channel.
Note
Two DSK sources can be connected to the system on 1A and
1B — but only one can be used at a time.
