BNC cable becoming separated from the card and the connection being lost. Cable Lengths The VisionSC-SDI4 supports cable lengths of up to 150m for 3G-SDI. This figure is based on using low loss coax cables (Belden 1694A). Avoid tight loops or kinks in the cables. -
Page 12: Installing Multiple Cards
In order to control the order in which the driver uses the cards, it is recommended when installing multiple cards that the links on the VisionSC-SDI4 are configured. The example below shows the jumper link settings for up to 32 cards in a single system. When two cards share the same link settings, their order is determined by the PCIe bus. -
