Power Entry Module
Using an IEC-C13 power cord, connect to an AC power source. This product is intended to operate from a
power source of 100 - 120 VAC (60 Hz), or 200 - 240 VAC (50 Hz). A protective ground connection, by
way of the grounding conductor in the power cord, is essential for safe operation.
Ethernet / USB (Raspberry Pi)
Connect the Ethernet port to a network to allow remote control via Dashboard software.
GPIO Port (DB-15)
(FUTURE RELEASE)
Reserved for future remote control via switch closure(s), and status outputs.
Genlock Loop Input
These BNC connectors provide a high impedance “loop through” connection for an external sync reference.
The reference may be composite sync, black-burst, tri-level sync, TTL vertical drive, or a TTL frame square
wave. The reference signal may be daisy chained through several MVPHD-24s, or other equipment requiring
external sync. If the unit is the last piece of equipment in the chain, then the second connection will require a
termination. If no signal is applied to either connector then an internal sync generator is used for the
reference.
CBVS/Ref 1 and CBVS/Ref 2 Outputs
These BNC connectors provide a reference output signal for synchronizing other film equipment or cameras,
or monitoring the output video. Each BNC is individually configured at the front panel using the “
Reference
1 Output
” and “
Reference 2 Output
” menus under
OUTPUTS
. Possible outputs include composite video,
composite sync, black burst, tri-level, TTL composite sync, TTL Vertical Drive, and TTL Frame Drive. For
composite outputs, a low quality secondary scaler is used to down convert any output resolutions that are
higher than standard definition. This composite output is intended to be a reference only, when producing
other non-composite output signals. For optimum composite quality, “composite” should be chosen for the
Primary Output Mode.
Analog Video Outputs (CBVS / YC / YPbPr / RGB)
These three BNC connectors are the main analog video outputs. They are multi-format outputs and are
configured at the front panel by using the menu “
Primary Output Mode
” under
OUTPUTS
. The three
connectors will be configured as either: [Composite, Y, C] ; [Red, Green, Blue] ; or [Pr, Y, Pb].
