Sun Fire V880z Server and Sun XVR-4000 Graphics Accelerator Installation and User’s Guide • May 2003
You may obtain a standard 13W3-BNC cable, BNC-BNC cables, BNC-T connectors,
and 76-ohm terminators at your local computer or video supply store.
Connecting the Genlock Cable
Cable the Sun XVR-4000 graphics accelerators to be genlocked before configuring
your system for genlock (described in “Enabling Genlocking for Graphics
Accelerators” on page 67). It is best to have the Sun XVR-4000 graphics accelerators
cabled for both framelock (Chapter 7) and genlock for circumstances where both
may be required. If framelock is not in use, it does no harm to keep the framelock
cables installed.
To genlock your master Sun XVR-4000 graphics accelerator to a slave graphics
accelerator, you need a 13W3-BNC cable, BNC-T connector, BNC-BNC cables (for
genlocking more than one slave device), and a BNC 75-ohm terminator. The 75-ohm
terminator is required even when genlocking a single slave device.
1. Locate the Sun XVR-4000 graphics accelerator I/O back panel on the rear of your
Sun Fire V880z server and the 13W3 connector you will use as genlock master
(
).
You may use either the 13W3A or 13W3B connector for genlocking slave graphics
boards. Use one for the master display device (for example, projector or monitor)
and the other for genlocking slave display devices.
