AutoPatch Modula 34-40 User manual

Modula SDI Digital Video
Enclosures
This Boards & Specifications section contains specific board installation
information for boards available for the following SDI Modula enclosure models:
Modula Enclosure Models
q34-40 32x32 SDI Digital Video Enclosure
q34-27 32x32 SDI Digital Video & Wideband Video Enclosure
q34-30 32x32 SDI Digital Video & Standard Video Enclosure
q34-33 32x32 SDI Digital Video & S-Video Enclosure
These enclosures primarily hold SD-SDI and HD-SDI digital video boards.
Depending on the enclosure model, other boards may also be included for
switching other video and audio signals within the enclosure. The chart on the
following page indicates which boards are available for each enclosure model.
Cabling information and specifications are found in the subsequent chapters
based on signal type.
These enclosures can hold up to 16 boards (8 input and 8 output) with 4
connectors each. This allows for a full configuration of 32x32, as well as subsets
such as 4x32, 28x12, or 16x16.
Upgrading in the Field
One of the advantages of a Modula enclosure is that boards can be added (or
replaced) in the field. To determine which boards can be added to your model,
see the chart on the following page and contact your sales representative. Boards
can only be added to their respective slots, i.e., input boards can only be added to
input slots. See the Installation & Setup section of this binder for board
installation information. If you have questions, contact your AutoPatch Dealer or
Technical Support.

1.1 Attaching Cables
When attaching SD-SDI digital video input and output cables, refer to the sheet
labeled “AutoPatch Modula Connector Guide” found inside the back cover of
this binder. The sheet shows where to attach each cable on the rear of each
enclosure. (For multi-enclosure systems, an enclosure number sticker is on the
rear of each enclosure.) Follow the sheet exactly; the system was programmed at
the factory to operate only as indicated on the sheet.
Make sure the SD-SDI digital video cable is connected to the correct BNC
connector on the correct enclosure. SD-SDI digital video boards look identical to
HD-SDI digital, standard video, wideband, and HV sync boards, but the
“AutoPatch Modula Connector Guide” identifies them.
To connect SD-SDI digital video inputs and outputs, fasten the cables onto the
input and output BNC connectors (see Figure 2).
Terminating Connectors
For optimal performance, add 75 ohm terminating connectors to all unused
outputs (see Figure 3).

3.1 Attaching Cables
When attaching S-Video input and output cables, refer to the sheet labeled
“AutoPatch Modula Connector Guide” found inside the back cover of this
binder. The sheet shows where to attach each cable on the rear of each enclosure.
(For multi-enclosure systems, an enclosure number sticker is on the rear of each
enclosure.) Follow the sheet exactly; the system was programmed at the factory
to operate only as indicated on the sheet.
Modula S-Video boards are equipped with locking S-Video connectors. When
used in conjunction with AutoPatch S-Video cables, the connectors and the
cables lock into place. Cables with standard S-Video connectors may also be
used, but will not lock.
To connect S-Video inputs and outputs, fasten the cables onto the input and
output S-Video connectors (see Figure 8).
To fasten a locking S-Video connector, either pull back on the housing of the
connector (see Figure 9) while pushing the connector in, or hold the connector at
a slight angle to the right while pushing in.
To remove a locking S-Video connector, pull back on the housing of the
connector.
Caution: To avoid damaging a locking S-Video connector or board, be sure to
pull on the connector housing instead of the cable.

3.2 S-Video Configuration Files
XNConnect (the configuration software program on the AutoPatch Software CD
shipped with the Modula) supports Modula systems with S-Video connectors.
Important: Use this software only if you need to change the configuration
information from the original specification.
In Modula systems, each signal in a component signal has its own signal path.
When you select a connector in the virtual matrix view, the properties box in the
right pane indicates the two signals for each S-Video connector as appended
numbers.
Signal Paths Example
The connector for Input 6 contains two signal paths (see Figure 10):
äS-Vid V_IN_006.1 for the “Y” signal path
äS-Vid V_IN_006.2 for the “c” signal path
See Chapter 8 of the Installation & Setup section of this binder for information
on managing configuration files with XNConnect.
