Input Signal Connections (Video and Key)
The Model 2200 allows up to 32 video/key inputs to be connected. These
inputs are connected to a Serial Digital Module at the rear of the frame.
Inputs are configured in the soft menus.
Component analog inputs can be connected to the optional Chroma Key
Input Module.
NOTE:
Grass Valley Products does not supply cables or terminators. These must
be obtained from other suppliers.
Serial Digital Video Connections
The serial digital inputs require the use of 75Ω coaxial cables. The use of
75Ω BNC connectors is recommended but not required. Facilities with
existing cables with 50Ω connectors on 75Ω cables need not change their
connectors. However, with the use of 50Ω connectors there is the
possibility of some errors occurring in the serial data stream.
The maximum length of serial digital cables should not exceed 225 meters
(738 feet). Fiber optic distribution and transmission is recommended for
runs longer than 225 meters.
Connect serial digital video sources to the Serial Input Modules in Slots C7,
C12-C14 as required for your facility. Inputs are loopthrough; be sure to
terminate each input with a 75Ω termination.
