Rear Panel Description
Connectors The rear panel connectors are summarized below and described in detail in the next
section:
P/S 1 and P/S 2 Two 3-pin grounded connectors provide AC power to the two independent power
supplies. The supplies are autosensing for 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Only one connection
is required for operation, but both connectors must be plugged into AC power for
redundant power protection.
AES/EBU Digital Audio 16-Channel, 24-bit AES Input and Output on separate DB-25 connectors (Tascam pinout,
see
“Audio Connection Pinouts” on page 118).
Analog Audio Ch.1-8 In/Out 8 channel Balanced Analog Audio Input and Output on separate DB-25 connectors
(Tascam pinout, see
“Audio Connection Pinouts” on page 118). Audio A/D and D/A
converters are 24 bit.
MADI Fiber 64 channel MADI input and output, on separate Multi-Mode fiber connectors.
MADI BNC 64 channel MADI input and output, on separate BNC connectors.
GPI The GPI DB-15 connector provides connection to external equipment or circuits via an
isolated TTL-compatible interface. Four GPI inputs and four outputs are available. See
“GPI Pinouts” on page 117.
Using the REMOTE menu group, you can program the actions of the GPI inputs and
outputs individually. Contact closures on the inputs can trigger a wide variety of FS1-X
functions. Alarms or loss of video can trigger the GPI outputs.
10/100/1000 LAN This RJ45 connector provides an Ethernet 10/100/1000 port for connection directly to a
computer or to a LAN through an Ethernet hub or switch.
SDI Fiber In/Out (optional) Two optional Single-Mode Optical Fiber SFP modules support single- or dual-channel
Fiber Input and/or Output. 3G/HD/SD SDI protocol is supported. Only AJA Optical Fiber
SFP modules are supported—use of other manufacturer’s modules is not supported and
may void warranty.
