MV-VIP1 and MV-VIP2 - Mixed DVI and Composite/SDI Configurations
Taking into account the requirements for double width rear connector modules and the
reduction in capacity they incur, there are other types of rear connector that can sometimes
be used to avoid this compromise.
When video input loop throughs are not needed, but a number of both DVI-I and
composite/SDI inputs are required, the MV-RM40 rear connector module can be specified.
The MV-RM40 is single width and has two composite/SDI inputs, plus 2 x DVI-I inputs. This
means that the maximum capacity of 64 video inputs in a single type MV-32/MV-64
multiviewer frame, or 32 video inputs per multiviewer in the dual type frame can be utilized.
In the example described, there would be 32 composite/SDI inputs and 32 DVI-I inputs using
the single frame, or 16 composite/SDI inputs and 16 DVI-I inputs per multiviewer using the
dual frame, assuming double rear modules are not required for other inputs.
MV-VIP1 and MV-VIP2 - MV-RM10 RGB/YUV rear module limitation
Each video input card has a maximum number of 10 conductors that accept video signals
from the rear connector module. While this is not a problem with single wire formats such as
composite or SDI, it presents a limitation with multi-wire formats such as YUV and RGB.
Therefore, the maximum number of RGB/YUV type sources that can be accommodated by
the MV-RM10 is three, leaving one BNC available for a composite or SDI source.
Some examples of source combinations that can be served by the MV-RM10 are shown
below.
MV-RM10 Source Combinations
3 x YUV/RGB Plus 1 x Composite or SDI
2 x YUV/RGB Plus 2 x Composite and/or SDI
2 x YUV/RGB Plus 2 x Y/C (S-Video)
1 x YUV/RGB Plus 3 x Composite and/or SDI
4 x Y/C(S-Video)
3 x Y/C(S-Video) Plus 1 x Composite or SDI
2 x Y/C(S-Video) Plus 2 x Composite and/or SDI
1 x YUV/RGB plus 1 x YC (S-Video) plus 2 x Composite and/or SDI
