Installation of (optional) input modules (continued)
Connecting the signal to the dual link HD/SD-SDI input
module
• When connecting a single link signal, connect to the LINK-A terminal.
• When connecting a dual link signal, connect to both the LINK-A and LINK-B terminals.
Note
• You can switch the input format mode from the SYSTEM SELECTOR menu. (pp. 58-59)
• Settings specific to the connected device are required. (pp. 74-75)
• To send the pictures properly, use a connecting cable with the specifications of Canare 5CFB or higher (5CFB,
7CFB, etc.) or of Belden1694A or higher. Also, use a cable that is shorter than 100 m.
• Make sure that the cables used to link LINK-A terminal and LINK-B terminal are of the same type and length.
If there is a difference in length greater than 4 m between the two cables, the images will not be projected
correctly.
• When connecting to dual link signals, connect directly to the signal output device without connecting through a
distributor or other such device. A phase difference may occur between the LINK-A signal and LINK-B signal,
which may prevent the image from being correctly projected.
• If the connected signal is unstable, the signal auto-detect function may not operate correctly. In this case,
switch to a mode that better suits the signal format from the SYSTEM SELECTOR menu.
