4. Hardware orientation
The E thernet connector is com patible with:
• Standard R J-45 Ethernet cables
• Neutrik EtherCon® series cables
For pinout details, refer to the section dedicated t o the pinout in Append ix A, "Standard connec tor pinouts", page 288.
Genlock Input BN C (with passive Loop-through)
The G enlock input suppo rts NTSC and PAL B lackburst, as w ell as HD tri-level sync signals, per SMP TE 274M and SMP TE 296M.
The passive loop- through connector passes the Genlock s ignal to another device dow nstream of the E 2. The Loop-through o utput
will continue to function even when the E2 is turned off. W hen the E2 is genlocked and the lock source is lost, the output of the unit
will automatically switch to “free-run” state without any discernible “glitching” on the output display device .
For Genlock connections details, refer to the Specifications Appendix.
Expansion link ca rds
A single E2 unit supports 28 inputs, 8 outputs, an integrated Mu ltiviewer and a 16 2K layers. This feature list is generous en ough
to satisfy most events. When, however, the event requirements exceed the specifications o f single unit, m ultiple E 2s can be linked
together through the Ex pansion cards. The cards are connec ted with four Barco-supplied high bandwidth bi-directional expansion
link cables. These cables are also comm ercially available.
The two leftm ost slots are reserved for expansion c ards:
Slot Card type Connectors
1 Expansion L ink C ard 2x H igh-Speed bi-directional connectors
2 Expansion L ink C ard 2x H igh-Speed bi-directional connectors
For m ore details on ca pabilities of expansion, refer to the section "Expansion link card", page 44.
Input cards
Slots 3 through 10 are reserved for Inputs Cards. Each card supports resolu
tions up-to 4K resolutions. E2s’ ability to support up-to
28 inputs, eliminates, in m ost cases, the need to ha ve upstream routers or scalers.
Each c ard slot could accommodate either:
• 4x up-to HD/2K inputs
• 2x 2560x1600 inputs
• 1x 4K input
From left to right, the distribution of cards is as follows in the 8 slots dedicated to input c ards:
