Resolution

  • Each V-Link is capable of displaying four total video sources at one time, although many more sources can be hooked up and easily switched between. Those four sources can be composed of a variety of video formats and transmission protocols.
  • Up to three SDI (serial digital interface) or HD SDI (high-definition serial digital interface) sources may be display at one time. These sources may come from a variety of devices with digital output, including: cameras, decks, switchers, and DDRs (digital disk recorders). A BNC connection, located to the far left of the rear of the V-Link processor accepts the feeds. The Loop connectors located to the right of the SDI inputs may be used to send the same source to a video monitor or the backup V-Link video processor.
  • A maximum of four analog video sources may be transmitted through composite, component and S-Video connections for output on a ProStar display. A maximum of one component signal and one composite signal or four composite signals can be hooked up to the BNC connectors in the Composite/Component In section of V-Link processor. The V-Link accepts one S-Video input through a four pin mini-din connector located to the right of the composite/component inputs. The Serial port just to the right of the S-Video jack is used to communicate with the Venus 7000 display controller.
  • The V-Link also accepts one V-Max signal input. It could also come from a Venus 7000 controller located upstream or another V-Link. A total of 3 V-Link video processors may be chained together and communicate with one another, meaning that up to 12 different video sources may be displayed. To accomplish this, V-Max signal is output through one of the two V-Max 4 Outs located to the far right of the processor and connected to the V-Link In on the next V-Link downstream. For the maximum number of input possibilities, repeat this until all six V-Link processors have been "daisy chained" together.
