Module Slots and Rear Connectors
manages the signal mixing performed by the Quad Mix card and is required if the Quad Mix back-
plane and Quad Mix output card are installed. For more information about the Quad Mix card, see
Quad Mix on page 28. There is no corresponding input backplane or input card. For more informa-
tion on connecting to the NV9660, see NVISION’s NV9660 Quad Mix Control Panel on page 98.
Monitor Backplane
The monitor backplane features four BNC connectors that distribute outgoing signals for monitor-
ing purposes. Each BNC connector can be connected to external monitoring equipment so that the
quality of outgoing signals can be verified. The monitor backplane has a corresponding monitor
card and is installed in a unique backplane slot in the back plate. There is no corresponding input
backplane or input card. For more information, see
Installing Backplanes on page 41 and Monitor
Card on page 29.
Backplane Types and Signals
The following is a list of each backplane type, associated connectors, signal types managed, and the
number of signals each backplane can receive or distribute. For your convenience, the part number
for each backplane is included.
