6 Connecting Your VS-44HD
This section describes how to connect the VS-44HD as a:
4x4 SD/HD SDI Matrix Switcher, see section 6.1
Dual-Link 2x2 SD/HD-SDI Matrix Switcher, see section 6.2
6.1 Connecting Your VS-44HD 4x4 SD/HD-SDI Matrix Switcher
You can use your VS-44HD to switch one of the four standard definition / high
definition SDI inputs to any or all of the four standard definition / high
definition SDI outputs, as the example in Figure 2 shows.
To connect the
VS-44HD 4x4 SD/HD-SDI Matrix Switcher, do the following 1 :
1. Connect up to four SDI sources to the SDI INPUT BNC connectors (for
example, an HD/SD SDI camera to input 1 and an HD video player to input 4).
2. Connect the SDI OUTPUT BNC connectors to up to 2 four SDI acceptors
(for example, output 1 to a Preview monitor, and output 4 to an HD SDI
mixer).
3. Set the dipswitches (see section 6.4).
4. As an option
3 , connect:
A Genlock source to the GENLOCK BNC connector
The LOOP BNC connector to the GENLOCK connector of the next
unit in the line, and release the TERM button for looping 4
5. Connect a PC and/or controller (if required), to the:
RS-232 port (see section 6.5), and/or
RS-485 port (see section 6.6), and/or
ETHERNET connector (see section 6.9)
6. As an option 3 , connect a remote contact closure switch (refer to section 6.10)
7. Connect the power cord 5 .
1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-44HD. After connecting your VS-44HD, switch on
its power and then switch on the power on each device
2 When only one output is required, connect that output, and leave the other outputs unconnected
3 Not illustrated in Figure 2
4 Pushed in terminates the input. Release when the input extends to another unit
5 We recommend that you use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine
