The indicators for channels 1-4 will be green and yellow. For more information, refer to
the Switching section.
When connecting sources to the inputs for switching, you must ensure the
following:
l
All sources must be connected to your device via SDI to be available for switching. To
use HDMI cameras and other HDMI sources, convert the signal to SDI first with an
HDMI to SDI signal converter.
l
The SDI signal connected to SDI 1 will act as the master reference for Timecode and
Trigger, and needs to have a constant signal connected in order to derive sync for all
of the other inputs. Therefore it is important that the SDI cable is properly connected
to SDI 1 to ensure that the signal is locked. A loose connection may cause syn-
chronization issues with the other inputs.
l
The maximum resolution and frame rate of each connected source for switching is
1080p60, which is 4 x 1080p 60fps feeds.
l
All inputs MUST have an identical frame rate and resolution. For example, 59.94p,
29.97p and 23.98p cannot be mixed with 60p and 24p.
l
The 3G-SDI output standard on connected cameras should be set to level A. 3G-SDI
inputs using Level B in dual stream or dual link modes may not be supported. If level
A is not available on a connected camera, the frame rate must be set to a maximum
of 1080p25/29.97/30.
Channel Source
Indicates the input channels being used for the current signal, and will appear when using
single inputs for 12G-SDI 1 and 12G-SDI 2.
Link Status
Appears when using the Dual link, Quad link or Switching 4x3G modes, to indicate the
input channels being used. Colors indicate the role in a Server/Client relationship. The
input with a green circle around it indicates the Server, whilst Client channels will have yel-
low circles around the input number.
