Resolution

  • Up to four SD-SDI or HD-SDI sources can be displayed at one time. These sources may come from a variety of digital output devices, including cameras, decks, switchers, and DDRs. A BNC connection located on the rear of the VIP accepts the feeds. The loop out connectors, located to the right of the HD-SDI/SDI inputs, can send the same source to a video monitor or to a backup VIP 4500 video processor.
    A maximum of four analog video sources can be connected at one time. The VIP 4500 processor accepts component, S-Video, and/or composite sources.

    Two DVI (Digital Visual Interface) or VGA (Video Graphics Array) sources may be connected at one time (depending on the size of the input signal, if signal size is over 900X1400 please contact Daktronics support). These sources come from a variety of devices, such as desktop computers, laptops, or content servers.
    A total of three processors may be linked together, allowing up to 12 different video sources to display. In this setup, the VMax4 out from one VIP is routed to the VMax4 on the second processor. This is repeated until all three processors are linked to obtain the maximum number of inputs.
