Now you can cut and mix
between eight hd sources right
from the buttons on the Indigo
control panel.
The Indigo AV Mixer now can connect
™
up to eight HD-SDI inputs. The input
expansion is a combination of Indigo's
powerful external device controls with
a customized version of the Acappella
router from Grass Valley .
™
Connected to Indigo via Ethernet and
standard BNC video cables, the rack-
mountable input expansion provides
eight HD-SDI inputs and four outputs.
Two of the outputs connect to Indigo
and the other two can be used as
auxiliary outputs. Because the expansion
provides a clean switch output, the
inputs do not require external timing or
synchronization.
With this expansion you can now cut and
mix between eight sources right from
the buttons on the Indigo control panel.
The operation and video processing
capabilities of Indigo, including keys,
effects, and scaling remain unaffected.

Ready Right out of the Box
Only 1 RU in size, the HD expansion
comes ready to operate right out of
the box—just plug it in, connect the
™
cables, and you can get right to work. In
the few instances when configuration
is necessary, all that is needed is to
connect a standard Web browser to the
router's Ethernet interface—or use the
Grass Valley NetConfig ™
comes standard with the router. And with
its 14-inch (34.5 cm) depth, you never
have to reach deep inside the back of a
rack to change out a cable.
The HD expansion offers high-
performance digital video processing.
Its video processing features include
automatic input cable equalization. It also
supports the reclocking of a data stream
at all standard data rates, including
1.5 Gb/s, eliminating the jitter associated
with long cable runs and previously

auto-ranging AC power supplies
• Interface connection via Ethernet to

processed signals. If an external
reference source is not available, the HD
expansion will synchronize all sources
with its internal clock.
Designed to maximize uptime, you can
add an additional auto-ranging AC power
supply for full power redundancy. Each
power supply features a removable IEC
power cord connection with integrated
cord clamps to eliminate accidental
application that
unplugging; the cord connection also
supports any AC plug-end available.
