Expansion Slots
FIG. 5
Expansion slots
Each enclosure provides two expansion slots (FIG. 5). One is to the right of the power receptacle, and the
other one is to the left of the CPU board. These slots can be used for boards which increase functionality
and add new features to your system, such as the vertical interval sync (VIS) board illustrated in FIG. 5.
Note: Expansion slots are not designed for input or output boards. For flex-slot information,
see page 17.
Input and Output Connectors
FIG. 6
Numbering starts with top channel of left-most board
Input and output connectors are the attachment points for source and destination devices that connect to
the system. Viewed from the rear of the enclosure, the inputs (sources) are on the left side of each board,
and the outputs (destinations) are on the right side of the board. BNC connectors are color coded; the
white connectors are inputs and the black connectors are outputs.
Input and output connectors are numbered separately. The four connector numbers for each board are
above and to the right of its top connector. This numbering pattern continues on each board (FIG. 6).
Depending on the configuration, different types of boards may also be numbered separately.
A single enclosure can handle a combination of signals (such as analog audio, analog video, sync, digital
video, etc.) depending on the number and type of input and output boards. For information on the types
of boards each enclosure can hold see the "Enclosure Configurations" chapter on page 17.
For information on the boards included in your system, including connector types, cabling/wiring
directions, and specifications, see the specific board chapter in this manual (chapter title specifies the
board's signal type).
