INTRODUCTION
the network and the unit cannot retrieve a valid IP address after 45 seconds it will default
to a static address. This static address is set to 192.168.0.100 by default but can be altered
through SCi using the serial port connection. If DHCP is not required then this can also be
disabled through SCi using the serial port connection.
The Network connectors pin assignations are as follows:

SDI Input
The SDI input is connected using a single female BNC and has a 75Ω input impedance. It is
a triple rate SDI receiver with automatic input rate detection and equalisation. It supports
the full range of 3G, SD and HD standards from NTSC and PAL up to 1080p 60Hz. The status
of the input is displayed on the status LEDs on the front panel. When the SDI input rate
and format has been detected, the SDI lock indicator will be lit.
SDI Outputs
The two SDI outputs are connected using the two female BNC connectors on the rear
panel. They have a 75Ω output impedance in accordance with the SMPTE standard and are
both re-clocked and independently buffered. Each output can be configured separately for
embedding and group deletion settings.

Audio Connections

Digital Audio Inputs & Outputs
The RB-VHCMD16 has sixteen channels of audio inputs and outputs grouped into four
banks each with four input channels of inputs and four output channels.
The digital audio I/O connections are transformer-coupled balanced line interfaces and
can be configured through SCi to be either 75Ω (AES 3ID) or 110Ω (AES 3) input or output
impedance through either a BNC or via the D-type connector. These connections are
paralleled, allowing one type to be used per input or output.
