CVBS Monitor Outputs (Optional)

Channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 have letterboxed composite video monitoring outputs.

Genlock Sync Reference

The MAXX-2420-EX is designed to be referenced to an external genlock source in the form of
RS-170 black. The GENLOCK input provides a fixed 75-ohm termination. An internal crystal
reference is also provided so that the server can be used as a stand-alone player.

Gigabit Ethernet Port

A Gigabit Ethernet port is provided on the MAXX-2420-EX. The NET 1 port is intended for
external transfer of program content between video servers. The NET 1 port is also used for
remote control using the optional Remote Workstation software. The NET 2 port is reserved for
future use and is not active. Use only the NET 1 port.

LTC Time Code Input

An LTC time code input is provided for Channel 1 and Channel 2. The LTC input provides a
>10k ohm termination. This input may be selected by means of the On-Screen user interface
and recorded as a time code reference. This input may be selected by means of the On-Screen
user interface and used as a start time reference. Note that time code is not actually recorded,
the time code read at the start of recording is captured. When the clip is played back, the time
code (in display, VITC and LTC outputs) starts from the captured time and proceeds
continuously.

LTC Time Code Output

An LTC time code output is provided on the LTC OUT BNC connector. It may be selected by
means of the On-Screen user interface to output time code from any of the four video channels
during playback. The LTC output has a source impedance of <5 ohms.

Keyboard

Attach the alphanumeric keyboard to the purple 5-pin KEYBD connector to control the server
and manage clips with the On-Screen graphic user interface.

Mouse

A two-button scroll mouse is provided with the MAXX-2420-EX. Plug the mouse into the green
5-pin MOUSE port. Mouse operation can be reset by the keyboard sequence Control+Alt+F12
(the screen will go black) followed by Control+Alt+F7.

Monitor

A VESA-compliant computer monitor may be connected to the 15-pin VGA video port. The
MAXX-2420-EX resolution is fixed at 1024 x 768 pixels, with a refresh rate of 72 Hz. This is
best-viewed on 17-inch or larger monitors. 360 Systems does not provide monitors for the
server. Do not use older monitors that are not VESA compliant. The server will not start
properly if an unsuitable monitor is connected.

Serial Port

The rear panel serial port is not used. Make no connection.
