Expanded NV8576-Plus
Expansion I/O Cards
Expansion I/O Cards
Expansion output cards exchange signals between the two NV8576-Plus frames.
Expansion output cards (and their backplanes) are used in pairs, one card in frame 1 and
another card of a matching type, in the same slot, in frame 2:
There are several expansion output card types:
• AES async (standard, coax or WECO)
• HD (standard, coax)
• 3Gig (standard, coax or fiber)
• Hybrid (i.e., embedder output or disembedder/embedder output)
• Hybrid MADI
• Standard filler
• Hybrid filler
An expansion output card in frame 1 must match the card type of the card to which it connects
in frame 2. (The card in frame 1 must be in the same slot as the connected card in frame 2.) The
following table lists the card types that can match:
See Chapter 2, Inputs and Outputs on page 21 for descriptions of the different I/O types.
Filler cards have no local outputs, although the backplanes they use do have connectors. What
“filler” cards do is allow input signals to cross over to the other frame in slots that have no
outputs.
