Input connector descriptions
This section describes the Matrox MXO2, MXO2 Rack, and MXO2 LE inputs.
For MXO2 Mini inputs, see
“Input connector descriptions (MXO2 Mini)”
¦
Note
Depending on your MXO2 hardware, some of the following connectors
may not be available or may be available in a limited capacity only. Some
connectors on your MXO2 hardware may not appear exactly as shown below.
External reference (REF)
Allows you to genlock all devices
connected to your MXO2 system to an external genlock source
(bi-level analog black burst for SD, or analog tri-level sync for
HD). MXO2 Rack features an additional REF OUT connector
with loop through that allows you to daisy chain the genlock
reference input to another device’s reference input.
¡ Important
If you connected an external genlock
source to MXO2 Rack’s REF IN connector, and you’re
not using the REF OUT connector, you must terminate
the reference signal by connecting a BNC 75-ohm
terminator to REF OUT.
To compensate for cable delays, timing-offset controls that
align your video output relative to your external genlock source
are available (see
“Specifying your genlock settings for
).
HDMI
Provides an input for HD HDMI video (either YUV
or RGB), and up to eight channels of uncompressed embedded
audio, from a digital HDMI device. HDCP sources and SD
video are not supported on this input. Connect a standard
HDMI video/audio cable from a camera, VTR, or other video
input source.
SDI
Provides an input for use with a digital SDI device. This
input supports HD-SDI and SD-SDI video, and up to eight
channels of embedded audio. Connect an SDI video/audio cable
from a camera, VTR, or other video input source.
