S-Video; Sdi; Accessing Live Video Feed In The Graphics Engine - High End Systems AXON User Manual

CHAPTER 3
Live Video Input and Control

S-Video

Axon media servers support multiple SVideo formats including:
NTSC_M
NTSC_MJ
You will need to configure the Axon graphics engine to identify a video input source through the
Content Management Application.

SDI

The Axon media server can accept SDI In, manipulate it, and then output it via the VGA/DVI on
the video card. Note the following when using the SDI video input and output option:
• While capturing SDI, anything that is being fed to the SDI In port will be mirrored on the
SDI Out port. Therefore, it is possible to daisy chain fixtures together via SDI, allowing
multiple fixtures to have the same SDI feed without a switcher/splitter device.
• The frame delay on the SDI capture is nearly identical to that of the S-video capture. The
difference cannot be seen with the naked eye.
• It is possible for a unit to have both SDI and S-video inputs coming in at the same time.

Accessing Live Video Feed in the Graphics Engine

Using your DMX console, select Media Folder 255 on any one of the layers. Then select the
Media File 1 for S-Video input and Media File 2 for SDI input.
Video input is available on all three of the graphic layers, and both the S-Video feed and the SDI
feed can be sent to any layer.
