Figure 1-1 shows connectors on the DIVO/DIVO-DVC I/O panel. To aid reading the connector labels, this figure shows the panel sideways.
The DIVO/DIVO-DVC 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 or DIVO-DVC board.
![]() | Note: All DIVO/DIVO-DVC and GVO BNCs are 75-ohm. |
Figure 1-3 shows connection between CCIR 601 (4:2:2, serial digital interface) and DIVO/DIVO-DVC IN LINK A, plus house genlock in. These connections are directly attached cables from the external devices to the DIVO/DIVO-DVC connectors. The genlock connection is optional.
Figure 1-4 shows the connection between DIVO/DIVO-DVC 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/DIVO-DVC or GVO connector and the external video device.
Figure 1-6 shows connections between both DIVO/DIVO-DVC 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/DIVO-DVC connectors and the external video devices. The genlock connection is optional.
Figure 1-7 shows connections between both DIVO/DIVO-DVC 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/DIVO-DVC or GVO connectors and the external video devices.
Figure 1-9 shows connections between DIVO/DIVO-DVC IN LINK A and a parallel digital video 4:2:2 (single-link) device.
