Note: An octal breakout cable is supplied with the server and provides 8
RJ45 male connectors for serial control over the first 8 channel transports.
RJ45 to D9 adapters are also provided.
Notes:
• Only the Reference BNC (Ref In) on the left (Ch A-D) card is operational
when more than one card is installed.
• The AES Digital Audio I/O ports require the TASCAM AES DIGITAL DB25
Breakout Cable option (not supplied with system).
• The number of SDI inputs and outputs depends on the model of
server you have.
• If you are recording from, or playing into, an external device you must
have all devices connected to the same reference signal to ensure
proper audio/video synchronization.
• A breakout cable connects to the Serial port and provides 8 RJ45 serial
connectors.
• Both RS-422 serial and ethernet control are supported for remote
control.
• The TC In (LINE IN) audio port is used for TC Chase.
Note: The number of Video I/O cards in your server depends on the
options installed. Every video channel features an SDI input and SDI output;
and every channel can be used as a recorder or player.
