Cabling GV I/O server: SDI option

The GV I/O server supports the AJA Corvid 88 card for SDI connections to ingest and playout of simple clips, not including playlists. Up to four channels are supported in a box, with four top SDI connectors dedicated for inputs (recorder channels) and four bottom SDI connectors dedicated for outputs (player channels). Connect SDI IN or OUT to each channel appropriately, as shown in the illustration below. You can easily connect dedicated SDI INs and SDI OUTs to your routers, and with channel configuration being done via the GV STRATUS Control Panel, there is no need to move cables around for any channel changes later.

A valid reference signal is required for proper GV I/O product operation with SDI work flows.

The Genlock Reference Input is able to auto-detect and accept black burst or tri-level sync. Both NTSC and PAL timing are supported and should match the NTSC or PAL timing setting of the GV STRATUS system.

The GV I/O server supports media connections to K2 Summit SAN storage and GV AMS Pro - Advanced Media Storage systems.
