General Principles on 3D and 1080p Configurations

Introduction

The 3D and 1080p configurations can be used on EVS video servers, which are fitted with
V3X boards, using one of the following connection interfaces:

Dual Link interface, that is to say two connections (on a record or play channel) seen
by the EVS server as one logical channel.

3G interface, that is to say a single connection that corresponds to the logical channel.

Connections on the Rear Panel versus on the V3X Board

With 3D/1080p configurations, a clear distinction should be made between:

the number of physical channels connected to the BNC connectors of a codec module
on the rear panel
AND

the links used on the corresponding codec module (COD A or COD B) of the V3X
board.

The number of physical channels connected to the rear panel of the EVS server depends
on the interface used:

Both connectors of a codec module (for example IN1 and IN1B in REC) are connected
with a Dual Link interface.

Only the primary connector of the codec module is connected (for example IN1 in
REC) with a 3G interface.

Both primary and secondary links of the codec module (COD A or COD B) on the V3X
board are used whatever the interface used for the connection to the rear panel (Dual Link
or 3G).

3D/1080p Standard Configurations

Assignment Principles

The following rules on connector assignments on the rear panel apply to 3D or 1080p
configurations:

For 3D or 1080p in Dual link, the primary link of a codec module is used for the first
connector, and the secondary link for the same codec module is used for the second
connector.

For 3D or 1080p in 3G (single link), the primary link of the codec module is used for the
single connector. However, both primary and secondary links of a codec module of
the V3X board are used.

Warning
Bear in mind that, even with a 3G interface (single link connected to the rear
panel), both primary and secondary links of a codec module of the V3X board are
used in 3D/1080p.
