This chapter explains
Figure 1-1 shows connectors on the DIVO I/O panel. To aid reading the connector labels, this figure shows the panel sideways.
The DIVO board's XIO interface transmits the video signals between the connectors and system main memory.
Figure 1-2 shows connectors on the DG5-2/GVO I/O panel. This panel has the connectors for the DG5-2 board and its daughter board, the GVO. The GVO is available only as a daughter board for the DG5-2.
![]() | Note: For brevity, the DG5-2/GVO panel is referred to as the GVO panel in the rest of this chapter. |
The connectors on the left in Figure 1-2 are actually DG5 connectors; the GVO board itself has only two connectors, labeled 601 A Link and 601 B Link. These are outputs, corresponding to OUT LINK A and OUT LINK B on the DIVO board.
![]() | Note: All DIVO and GVO BNCs are 75-ohm. |
Figure 1-3 shows connection between CCIR 601 (4:2:2, serial digital interface) and DIVO IN LINK A, plus house genlock in. These connections are directly attached cables from the external devices to the DIVO connectors. The genlock connection is optional.
Figure 1-4 shows the connection between DIVO OUT LINK A and CCIR 601; Figure 1-5 shows the connection between GVO OUT LINK A and CCIR 601. This connection is a direct cable between the DIVO or GVO connector and the external video device.
Figure 1-6 shows connections between both DIVO IN BNCs and a dual-link serial digital interface (4:2:2:4/4:4:4:4), plus house genlock. These connections are directly attached cables between the DIVO connectors and the external video devices. The genlock connection is optional.
Figure 1-7 shows connections between both DIVO OUT BNCs and a dual-link (4:2:2:4/4:4:4:4) serial digital interface; Figure 1-8 shows connections between both GVO OUT BNCs and a dual-link (4:2:2:4/4:4:4:4) serial digital interface. These connections are directly attached cables between the DIVO or GVO connectors and the external video devices.
Figure 1-9 shows connections between DIVO IN LINK A and a parallel digital video 4:2:2 (single-link) device.
