3.2.5. General Principles on 3D and 1080p
Configurations
Introduction
The 3D and 1080p configurations can be used on an XT3 server, 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 with V3X Boards
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 codec
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).
3.2.6. 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 with V3X boards, 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.
