VPx Hardware
previous VP or VPx in the chain. An M/E’s Source Link Input must always be
connected to its associated M/E Source Link Output on the previous chassis,
and never cross-routed.
d) DVI Input B
One DVI-I connector is provided for both digital and analog inputs to the M/E’s
Layer B and background channel.
~ Digital — connect a digital graphics source directly to this input, or
connect the output of a digital graphics router.
~ Analog — using the appropriate adapter cable, connect an analog
source directly to this input.
Refer to the “M/E Input Notes” section on page 14 for details on the use of this
connector’s analog component.

Depending on your VP or VPx configuration, the M/E connectors on the rear of the chassis
do not necessarily relate 1:1 to the layer buttons in the Controller’s Layer Control Section.
Please note:
• The Controller’s layer buttons are arranged left-to-right in order of visual priority,
from the lowest (Mixer 1) to the highest (Mixer 3).
• The M/E boards are arranged in order of electronic priority, from the lowest (M/E
3) to the highest (M/E 1).
• Electronic priority does not equate 1:1 to visual priority, with regard to the silk-
screened labels on the Controller.
With this in mind, the information below lists how the physical connectors relate to the
various mixers on different VP and VPx configurations. Keep this correlation in mind when
you are making rear-panel connections.
• In a 3 M/E system:
~ M/E 1 connectors are the highest priority. They appear as Mixer 3 on
the Controller. The DSK will be connected to the M/E 1 board.
~ M/E 2 connectors have middle priority. They appear as Mixer 2.
~ M/E 3 connectors are the lowest priority. They appear as Mixer 1.
Background sources will be connected to the M/E 3 board.
• In a 2 M/E system:
~ M/E 1 connectors are the highest priority, and appear as Mixer 2. The
DSK will be connected to the M/E 1 board.
~ M/E 2 connectors are the lowest priority, and appear as Mixer 1.
Background sources will be connected to the M/E 2 board.
~ M/E 3 connectors are not installed.
