12G-SDI Setup and Operation
Overview
Unlike Masterpiece SD/HD, Masterpiece 12G-SDI is engineered with a single link 12G-SDI
infrastructure. Masterpiece 12G-SDI offers 12G-SDI BNCs for UHD connectivity, as well as 3G
BNCs for Quad link signals; HD sources are also available. Whilst using the Masterpiece
mainframe in UHD mode, the user is now able to have a single link UHD input or output using
the 12Gbps BNC connectors, the system does not have to have Quad link signals anymore.
The Masterpiece 12G-SDI mainframe has:
• 40x Inputs, 10x of those inputs are 12G-SDI BNC connectors (silver in color).
• 14 outputs (UHD mode), 3x of those outputs are 12G - SDI Connectors (silver in color).
A = Outputs
B = In UHD mode these can also be used as outputs.
C = Inputs
