3.2.3. General Principles on 3D and 1080p
Configurations
Introduction
The 3D and 1080p configurations can be used on an XS 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 (available with COHX and V3X boards).
• 3G interface, that is to say a single connection that corresponds to the logical channel
(available with V3X boards only).
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).
Connections on the Rear Panel with COHX Boards
You can only use the primary link of a codec module on a COHX board. As each
3D/1080p channel consists of two inputs, each channel requires using two codec
modules:
• The first input is connected to the IN1 of a codec board.
• The second input is connected to the IN2 of the next codec board.
The same principle applies to the playout channels.
