Connecting Your VS-44HDxl 3G HD/SD-SDI 4x4 Matrix Switcher

6.1 Connecting the VS-44HDxl in the Dual-Link Mode

You can use your

VS-44HDxl in the dual-link mode to switch any of the two

dual-link SDI inputs to any or all of the two dual-link SDI outputs, as the

illustration in Figure 3 shows.
To connect the

VS-44HDxl 3G HD/SD-SDI 4x4 Matrix Switcher in the dual-link

mode, do the following

1. Connect one or both of the SDI sources to the INPUT DUAL LINK BNC

connectors. For example, a dual-link HD/SD SDI camera to DUAL LINK 1

(inputs 1 and 2) and a dual-link 3G HD video server to DUAL LINK 2 (inputs

3 and 4).

2. Connect the SDI OUTPUT BNC connectors to one or both

SDI

acceptors. For example, OUTPUT DUAL LINK 1 (outputs 1 and 2) to a

dual-link preview display, and OUTPUT DUAL LINK 2 (outputs 3 and

4) to a dual-link HD SDI mixer.

3. Set the dipswitches (see section 6.2).
4. If required

, connect:

A Genlock source to the GENLOCK BNC connector
The LOOP BNC connector to the GENLOCK connector of the next

unit in the line, and release the TERM button for looping

5. Connect a PC and/or controller (if required), to the:

RS-232 port (see section 6.4), and/or
RS-485 port (see section 6.5), and/or
ETHERNET connector (see section 6.8)

6. If required

, connect a remote contact closure switch (refer to section 6.9).

7. Connect

the power cord

8. Set the machine to the dual-link mode (see section 6.2).

1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-44HDxl. After connecting your VS-44HDxl, switch
on its power and then switch on the power on each device
2 When only one output is required, connect that output, and leave the other output unconnected
3 Not illustrated in Figure 2
4 Pushed in terminates the input. Release when the input extends to another unit
5 We recommend that you use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine
