K2 Edge IOs
14.1 Tiles
De K2 Edge contains 8 bidirectional SDI-ports. One video format can be configured per tile.
IO1 is always configured as input and IO2 as output to be able to use the bypass relay. A
number of presets have been defined for the K2 Edge. These presets are selected via the IP
Manager.
IOs and tiles.
14.2 Bypass
Ports IO1 (input) and IO2 (output) can be internally connected to bypass a Channel. When set
to bypass, the signal of the main Channel is ignored, and instead the feed received at IO1 is
made available at IO2. Bypass is enabled via the IP Manager.
14.3 Master and Slaves
To make a Channel's signal available on several SDI-outputs, one or more of the IO-ports can
be configured to become slave outputs. By default, the signal provided by a slave output is an
exact copy of the master output signal. A slave output uses the properties of the master
Output it refers to, and thus cannot introduce another broadcast format for the same Channel.
14.4 Genlock
If enabled, the SDI-output synchronizes to the frame rhythm of the genlock (blackburst) signal
connected to the blackburst BNC-socket on the back of the server. If disabled, or when no
genlock signal can be detected, the output will synchronize to an internal clock. Genlock can
only be set for master outputs.
