Section Functional Overview The Indigo AV Mixer combines characteristics of a number of devices and then scales and synchronizes the various inputs for an integrated presenta- tion. The SD video section includes external input connections for SD-SDI, Com- posite, S-Video and DV-25. The SD section also has access to internal sources scaled down from Hi-res as well as still stores and a color matte.
Section 4 — Functional Overview SD Signal View A total of 12 SD sources may be assigned to buttons from the available inputs. Keys may be either self (video) keyed or separate inputs for key and fill. Stills may be captured from incoming video or downloaded via USB in JPG, PNG or TGA file formats.
Hi-Resolution Video Signal Flow Hi-Resolution Video Signal Flow A total of three Hi-resolution sources may be assigned to buttons from the available inputs. Two of the sources may be selected from either the external inputs or internal inputs and the third source is always upscaled from an SD source (may be a single source or the entire PGM mix).
Section 4 — Functional Overview Audio Signal Flow All inputs shown below are stereo. Any input may be assigned to any fader using the internal menus. Although there are only six faders, control for all inputs can be accessed through the touchscreen menu. The two inputs not assigned to faders may still be used for Audio Follow Video (AFV).
AES/EBU Pin Out AES/EBU Pin Out Digital audio I/O are available over SD-SDI, DV25, or AES/EBU. The pin out for the AES/EBU connector is shown below. AES/EBU DSUB 25 pins female 2x Digital Output, 6x Digital Input Figure 8. AES/EBU Pin Out Digital Audio Input Description IN1+...
Section External Device Control Control Signal Flow Reference signal is analog blackburst only. Editor control is achieved through GVG 100/200 protocol. Device control is achieved through AMP or BVW75 protocol. USB-B connection is not used on the device in its current release. Analog Reference CAT5 network 8 GPI inputs...
Section 5 — External Device Control GPO/GPI I/O, Tally Pin Out The following Indigo functions are currently available for external control through GPI inputs. • Turn audio channels on/off • Turn audio channels PFL • Recall timelines • Trigger Auto/Cut for any of the transition elements (or the complete GPI outputs can be set up for external device control or tally.

Section 5 — External Device Control Turbo Connections The recommended video connection between Turbo and Indigo is either SD-SDI or DVI-I. Audio may be connected via analog connectors or digi- tally from Turbo’s SPDIF output to Indigo’s AES-EBU input. Remote control of Indigo can be accomplished via RS422 or Ethernet connections.
Other Connections Other Connections Indigo’s DVI-I connector can be adapted for use with other sources by the use of commonly available adapter cables. Connection Type Requirement VGA computer DVI-I (or DVI-A male to VGA male adapter RGB video DVI-I (or DVI-A) male to 5 BNC INDIGO AV MIXER —...
