Digital XPoint Matrix Switchers • Installation 2-4
Cabling and Rear Panel Views
All connectors are on the rear panel. Figure 2-2 shows the rear of the
Digital XPoint 88 Matrix Switcher. The Digital XPoint 44 is housed in the same 1U
enclosure, but has fewer input and output connectors to accommodate the different
matrix size that it provides. Figure 2-3 shows the Digital XPoint 44 Matrix
Switcher.

Digital video input and output connections
All video input and output connections to the Digital XPoint Switchers are
made with female BNC connectors. Some types of video output devices do not
have BNC video output connectors. For these cases, a suitable cable or
connector adapter is necessary between the device output connector and the
BNC input connector of the Digital XPoint.
1 Input in (top) video connectors — Connect an SDI input device to these
female BNC connectors.
2 Input loop-through (bottom) video connectors — Connect an SDI display or
other device to these female BNC connectors. The switcher outputs an
equalized SDI loop-though on these BNCs.
The Digital XPoint Matrix Switchers equalize the output signals and the loop-
through signals. Beyond that, they do not alter the video signal in any way.
The signal output by the switcher is in the same format as the input.
3 Output video connectors — Connect an SDI display or other device to these
female BNC connectors. The switcher outputs two identical, equalized SDI
signals for each output number.
