4. Hardware orientation
The Ethernet connector is compatible with:
•
Standard RJ-45 Ethernet cables
•
Neutrik EtherCon® series cables
For pinout details, refer to the section dedicated to the pinout in Appendix A, "Standard connector pinouts", page 288.
Genlock Input BNC (with passive Loop-through)
The Genlock input supports NTSC and PAL Blackburst, as well as HD tri-level sync signals, per SMPTE 274M and SMPTE 296M.
The passive loop-through connector passes the Genlock signal to another device downstream of the E2. The Loop-through output
will continue to function even when the E2 is turned off. When the E2 is genlocked and the lock source is lost, the output of the unit
will automatically switch to “free-run” state without any discernible “glitching” on the output display device.
For Genlock connections details, refer to the Speci
fi
cations Appendix.
Expansion link cards
A single E2 unit supports 28 inputs, 8 outputs, an integrated Multiviewer and a 16 2K layers. This feature list is generous enough
to satisfy most events. When, however, the event requirements exceed the speci
fi
cations of single unit, multiple E2s can be linked
together through the Expansion cards. The cards are connected with four Barco-supplied high bandwidth bi-directional expansion
link cables. These cables are also commercially available.
The two leftmost slots are reserved for expansion cards:

1
Expansion Link Card
2x High-Speed bi-directional connectors
2

2x High-Speed bi-directional connectors
For more details on capabilities of expansion, refer to the section "Expansion link card", page 44.
Input cards
Slots 3 through 10 are reserved for Inputs Cards. Each card supports resolutions up-to 4K resolutions. E2s’ ability to support up-to
28 inputs, eliminates, in most cases, the need to have upstream routers or scalers.
Each card slot could accommodate either:
•
4x up-to HD/2K inputs
•
2x 2560x1600 inputs
•
1x 4K input
From left to right, the distribution of cards is as follows in the 8 slots dedicated to input cards:
