Appendix D. Hardware Configuration
D.1 Configuration rules
D.1.1 Video and audio cards
The cards and their associated rear connector modules are installed in the frame in a fixed
sequence, which cannot be changed. This applies to each separate multiviewer system,
whether using the single or dual MV-32/MV-64 multiviewer frame types.
Viewing from the front of the frame, the card sequence runs from right to left, starting with the
video input cards. The first card slot position is adjacent to the CPU card.
Audio interface cards (if required), are installed to the left of the video input cards. Continuing
the sequence from right to left, audio input cards are followed by audio output cards.
D.1.1.1 Slots 17 and 18 - MV-64 Only
In single MV-64 multiviewer frame configurations, slots 17 and 18 are for audio cards only.
Slots 17 and 18 can’t be used until slots 1 to 16 have been filled with cards.
D.1.1.2 Video Cards
Video input cards are always installed working from right to left (from the front of the frame).
Where double width rear connector modules are needed, video loop through (VidLoop) cards
must be used. See appendix D.1.2.3 for more information.
• If Audio cards are fitted they must be fitted in the slots immediately following the
last populated video card slot.
• Slots 1 and 2 are not compatible with audio cards. If audio cards are installed a
minimum of one video card must be fitted in slot 1 with a loop through rear panel.
This allows the first audio card to be fitted in slot 3.
• When an MV-32 multiviewer is fitted with a second CPU/buffer card slots 13 and 14
are not compatible with audio cards. If audio cards are installed a minimum of one
video card must be fitted in slot 13 with a loop through rear panel. This allows the
first audio card to be fitted in slot 15.
MV-64 only:
• A maximum of 8 audio cards (any mix of input and output) can be fitted in an MV-64
multiviewer.
Slots 17 and 18 are reserved for Audio cards but can’t be used until slots 1 to 16 have been
filled.
