' Christie's Dual SD/HD-SDI input module is standard with the Roadster S+ and
factory-installed in
enables incoming serial digital data to be tiled across multiple screens, creating vast
"mega resolution" displays. Alternatively, the multiple outputs can be overlapped for
extra-bright displays, or simply distributed to additional projectors for multiple
screens of the same image.
The module accepts one or two independent standard- or high-definition serial digital
inputs, decodes them for processing in the main electronics of the projector, and
outputs 10-bit YCbCr 4:2:2 video. Either input can be set as the active primary or
secondary part of a Picture-in-Picture display, and either input can be looped through
to one (or both) of the module's BNC outputs.
NOTE: Selection of these inputs is described in 3.3, Using the Keypads.
Connect a compatible SMPTE 292M or SMPTE 259M-C source(s) to one or both of
the inputs located on the left side of the module. The module will automatically
detect the standard at each input and configure itself accordingly for correct
termination of the signal. The module also detects and supports dual link 292M and
SMPTE 372M video standards. For full details, consult the Dual SD/HD-SDI
manual.
