Cameras
STUDIO, RADIO, CONF and INSITU accept up to 5 (multiCAM SDI 4+1 BOX) or 9 (multiCAM SDI 8+1 BOX) video (camera) inputs and 1 external source.
E-LEARNING and TRACKING are designed to work with 2 turret cameras and a computer source (CAMERA INPUTS 1 and 2 + PC INPUT).
System should be connected with cameras via:
- SDI: for the video signal (SD or HD) via a BNC cable.
- NETWORK 2: for the camera control via local network switch.
The cameras must be connected to inputs 1 to 4 for 4+1 SDI BOX ( 1 to 8 for 8+1 SDI BOX) identified in the “CAMERA INPUTS” area, and must also be electrically powered via their AC adapter or via POE+.
If using an IP BOX, cameras should only be connected to the local network switch.
With the MULTICAM ALL-IN-ONE cable, one cable gathers the video signal, the control and the power.
Check:
You can also connect hand-held cameras to any SDI input on the system.
Touch Screen
The touch screen must be connected to the system by two cables:
- VGA/HDMI/DP SCREEN: cable for the display,
- USB TOUCH: USB cable for the touch control protocols.
Connect the power cord to a 110V ~ 220V power socket.
Sound
You can connect your different audio sources (HF table microphone, HF hand-held microphone,...) via 2 mono line inputs (LINE IN 1 and LINE IN 2).
You also have a stereo input: LINE IN 3 (Left Channel) + LINE IN 4 (Right Channel), as well as a digital input AES.
It is also possible to recover sound via the SDI inputs if the signal is embeddedUn signal embarqué (ou embedded) est un signal transportant à la fois de la vidéo et de l'audio. Cela peut être via un câble SDI ou HDMI..
If using a multiCAM IP BOX, you can use input stereo LINE IN or AOIP driver.
The audio inputs are not powered, therefore you cannot directly connect the wired microphone.
Computer source
Generally via a laptop, you can integrate the video sound signal (DVI-D IN) or VGA/HDMI via the supplied adapters.
To recover the sound from the computer, use the stereo audio input.
The majority of video projectors (VP) have a LOOP function (MONITOR OUT) which allows you to recover the incoming VGA signal. In this case, link the laptop directly to the video projector then link the VP’s VGA output to the system. You can also opt for a VGA splitter, in order to double the signal.
Other devices
In addition to metre displays, you can control the audio mix with a pair of headphones, via the PHONE connector.
The Local network and Internet must be connected to the socket NETWORK 1 and 2. Verify the network settings to set the IP address according to your network configuration.
You have USB3 ports at the front of the case to connect external disks. You may also notice that the touch screen has USB ports on the side.
On screen transmission
You have two physical outputs: SDI OUT and HDMI.
SDI extra input / output
All SDI boxes have 1 universal SDI IN/OUT connector, which can be used as a 5th for 4+1 BOX (9th for 8+1 BOX) input or 2nd SDI output.
If the SDI IN/OUT is used as the 2nd output, only PGM and Media player outputs can be sent to it.
