Page 8: Video I/O Boards
1.2 Video I/O Boards The MSC-XDM4000 modular router can be configured or expanded in the field for matrix sizes in increments of 8 inputs or outputs. Each input card adds 8 SDI video BNC or SFP module inputs, depending on the card (MSC-CARDRX-BNC8 as shown in Figure 1 or MSC-CARDRX-SFP8 in Figure 2 respectively). -
Page 9: Installing Video I/O Boards
4. Once the I/O board is properly connected and the mounting plate is flush against the back of the router, install the 4 mounting screws to hold it in place. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the remaining I/O boards. Page 9 of 64 © 2013-2016 Matrix Switch Corporation www.matrixswitch corp.com... -
Page 10: Sfp Modules
NOTE: MSA transceiver (transmit and receive) modules may be used with the MSC-XDM4000 but only the transmit or receive side will be used (depending on the I/O card it is inserted into). To remain cost effective, it is thus recommended that transmit only or receive only SFP modules are used when planning system I/O. -
