6.2. V3X Video and Reference Boards
6.2.1. Description
The V3X board is divided in 3 parts: a base board identified as V3X base (rear section and
center extension), and two modules identified as COD A V3X (front left) and COD B V3X
(front right).
The COD A V3X and COD B V3X modules are the actual codec modules, each of them
being able to be configured by software either as an encoder (for a record channel) or as a
decoder (for a play channel). The COD V3X modules are SD, HD.
They support the following new feature(s):
• Full resolution 3D HD on a single V3X module (Dual Link HD SDI)
There are 2 versions of the V3X board: one with genlock, one without genlock.
The genlock model can easily be identified by the presence of 3 quartz synthesizers at the
back of the V3X base board, on the right-hand side, and by the presence of the GLK and
PSU OK LEDs on either side of the DIN connector at the center front of the board.
Note that a V3X board with genlock must be installed as V3X #1 in first position (slot 2) in
the server. A V3X board with genlock can never be installed in any other slot, and thus
cannot be used instead of V3X #2. Doing so will result in conflicting electrical signals
inside the system.
Warning
It is highly advised not to remove a V3X board from your EVS server. Should you
have to do so, manipulate the board very carefully, making sure it is not exposed
to mechanical or electric shocks.
