VPx Hardware
• In a 1 M/E system:
~ M/E 1 connector priorities are relative to the connectors being used:
•The DVI Input A or Analog Input A connector could be set up
as a Background input (lowest priority).
•The DVI Input B or Analog Input B connector could be setup
as a DSK input (highest priority).
This leaves the other connectors to fall in between Background and
DSK. The rule stating that “A” connectors are lower in priority than “B”
connectors still holds.
~ M/E 2 and 3 connectors are not installed.

Please note the following important points regarding M/E inputs:
• Single Processor Configurations — In the special widescreen “preview”
configuration, a VPx can be used as a standalone destination that accepts DVI
input signals only.
• Multiple Processor Configurations — In these configurations, you only need to
connect inputs to the first VP. Inputs are automatically looped to all other VP and
VPx units via the Source Link connections.
• DVI-I Connectors — There are two DVI-I connectors for each M/E (A and B), and
each contains a digital and an analog input. Depending upon your application,
you can use the input for a scaled or an unscaled source:
~ The “digital” side accepts connections from a standard DVI output or
digital graphic router. This side can be used as both a scaled input
source or as an unscaled Background / DSK source.
~ Using a breakout cable, the “analog” side accepts analog connections.
This side is designed for inputting the system’s unscaled sources —
Background and DSK.
• The lowest priority M/E in your system must be used for
inputting the Background source.
• The highest priority M/E in your system must be used for
inputting the DSK source.

Please note the following important points regarding the Processor’s program outputs:
• HD/SDI Outputs — For the HD/SDI output, you can set the output to be SDI
(SMPTE 259M-C, NTSC or PAL) or HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M, HDTV). When you
set this output resolutions, all output connectors will output that same resolution.
• DVI Program Outputs — DVI Program outputs are digital only. They do not have
analog connections.
• Program 1 Outputs — Edge feathering and data doubling are present on all
Program 1 Outputs, provided that those features are enabled in the system’s
Output Menu.
