D.1.2.3 Double rear connector modules
Double width rear connector modules are sometimes required to allow sufficient space for the
connectors used for certain signal types.
The MV-RM10 Component Input rear module has 9 x BNCs plus a 9 pin D-Type connector.
This requires twice the space compared with the MV-RM20 video input rear module, which
has 4 x BNCs and a 9 pin D-Type connector.
When using the double width rear connector modules, the video loop card is always required.
This is because the system architecture requires video signals to pass through each card slot
position. If a video loop card is not fitted, there would be an empty slot in the frame and no
path for the video to pass though.
The example shown in Fig 90. illustrates the signal path when video input cards occupy each
card slot. This configuration is correct.
