INTRODUCING THE CXPS
The CXPS is an all-digital DVI processor that integrates seamless 36 x 36 DVI matrix
switching, post-output scaling, and video windowing into a single unit. When combined
with Black Diamond Video's DVI converters, the CXPS provides the same level of
switching, scaling, and windowing for any analog, SDI, or HD-SDI signal source
eliminating the need for multi-format switches and cables.
The CXPS supports DVI operation at the maximum TMDS rate of 1.65 Gb/s. The CXPS
works seamlessly with Black Diamond Video's DVI X-treme Cable Kits, allowing the
transmission of DVI signals over 60 meters of copper on both the input and output sides of
the processor.
The CXPS system diagram (Figure 1) illustrates the full functionality of this DVI processor
when combined with Black Diamond Video's DVI Converters and DVI X-treme Cable Kits.

CXPS Manual Edition 1.07 Introduction 7
On a fully-configured CXPS, Dual-Link DVI is supported on the following input
connectors: 1-4, 9-12, 17-20, 25-28, 33-36. Single-Link DVI is supported on all input
connectors.
For cable distances greater than seven meters, Black Diamond Video certified DVI cable
should be used. Black Diamond Video certified DVI cable is factory tested and guaranteed
for distances up to 60 meters. A DVI X-treme conditioner is not required on the input side
of the CXPS.
4- DVI-O OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
The DVI-O output connectors are digital DVI outputs used to connect to a digital display
device. On a fully-configured CXPS, Dual-Link DVI is supported on the following output
connectors: 1-4, 9-12, 17-20, 25-28, 33-36. Single-Link DVI is supported on all output
connectors.
When connecting to a display device more than seven meters from the CXPS, a DVI X-
treme Cable Kit should be used with the DVI X-treme conditioner placed on the display side
of the cable.
5- RS-232 SERIAL INTERFACE
The RS-232 interface is a DCE type used to control the CXPS by an external host over a
serial port or alternate RS-232 controller. A direct connect type RS-232 cable should be
used to connect the CXPS to a PC.
6- 10/100T ETHERNET PORT
The 10/100T Ethernet port is used for controlling the CXPS from a remote location. This
port is also used for firmware upgrades in the field. The 10/100T Ethernet port can control
the CXPS through commands similar to the RS-232 port.
7- GENLOCK INPUT/OUTPUT
The genlock I/O is used as an alternative external genlock source for the output scaler and
windowing cards. It is a general purpose +3.3V or +5V level genlock source.
8- USB MATRIX SLOTS
Each USB matrix slot can accept a USB type B (input) or type A (output) card. Each card
supports 12 USB connectors.
9- FIBER-I INPUT CONNECTIONS
The Fiber-I input connectors are used to connect a fiber video source to the CXPS.
10 - FIBER-O OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

OPTIONS
The following external options are available for the CXPS:
•DVI X-treme Cable and Cable Kits are phantom-powered and allow DVI signals to be
transmitted up to 60 meters on both the input and output sides of the switch for a
cumulative distance of 120 meters. Output cable kits are available in bothsingle-link and
dual-link DVI format. These kits contain output cable and a DVI signal conditioner and
are used when the distance between the CXPS and the display device exceeds seven
meters. The dual-link DVI signal conditioner can accept both single-link and dual-link
DVI signals. The single-link DVI signal conditioner can only accept single-link DVI.
•Fiber Cable is required for use over distances exceeding 60 meters. Fiber optic cable
can be used in conjunction with DVI-Fiber and Fiber-DVI converters.

Your CXPS can be configured with input and output cards for up to 36 x 36 channels, as
shown in Figure 4. Both input and output cards contain four connectors each so your CXPS
can have any combination of inputs and outputs where each channel type is a multiple of
four, up to nine input cards and nine output cards.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Video Options
12 Configuration Edition 1.07 CXPSManual
For example, your system could be configured as 4 x 4 (1 input card, 1 output card), 8 x 4 (2
input cards, 1 output card), 8 x 8 (2 input cards, 2 output cards), 12 x 4(3 input cards, 1
output card), 12 x 8 (3 input cards, 2 output cards), 12 x 12 (3 input cards, 3 output cards),
and so on.
Input and output cards are capable of supporting either single-link or dual-link DVI signals.
However, there are limitations to consider regarding dual-link inputs and outputs. These
limitations are discussed in “Dual-Link vs Single-Link”.
DUAL-LINK VS SINGLE-LINK
Dual-link DVI is only supported on odd-numbered slots. This applies to both input and
output channels. This means that on a fully-configured system with nine input cards and
nine output cards, the maximum number of dual-link DVI channels is 20 x 20. The input
and output channels on the cards in odd-numbered cards 1,3,5,7, and 9 would be dual-link
DVI-capable.
All input and output slots support single-link DVI. This means that the CXPS supports the
full 36 x 36 matrix for single-link DVI channels.
For example, let’s say you have a 16 x 8 system. Your CXPS would have four input cards
and two output cards (Remember, there are four channels per card). You could apply dual-
link DVI signals to the input channels in the cards in slots one and three, and you could
display those signals through the output channels on the card in slot one. Your total system
is 16 x 8 and it supports 8 x 4 dual-link DVI channels.
USING DVI AND FIBER CONVERTERS
The CXPS accepts DVI and fiber video inputs only. Black Diamond Video offers a line of
single-link DVI and Fiber converters which you can use to convert your Fiber, RGB, HD,
and SDI video signals to single-link DVI, or your DVI signals to Fiber. With the appropriate
converter, you can use any of these video formats as a source for the CXPS.
VIDEO INPUT OPTIONS
The CXPS can be configured with up to nine video input cards. Each card has four input
channels. By design, the video input card can accept either dual-link or single-link DVI, or
single-link fiber. However, the CXPS only supports dual-link DVI on cards installed in odd-
numbered slots (as discussed in the previous section, “Dual-Link vs Single-Link”).
The input channels are numbered from left to right and top to bottom, so the card in slot
number one (the farthest left as you look at the back panel) contains input channel numbers
IMPORTANT! Dual-link DVI is only supported on odd-numbered cards. This applies to both
input and output channels.

1, 2, 3, and 4, counting from the top of the card to the bottom. The card in slot number two
contains input channel numbers 5, 6, 7, and 8, and so on up to 36.
VIDEO OUTPUT OPTIONS
The CXPS can be configured with up to nine video output cards. Each card has four output
channels. By design, the video output card can accept either dual-link or single-link DVI.
However, the CXPS only supports dual-link DVI on cards installed in odd-numbered slots
(as discussed in “Dual-Link vs Single-Link” above).
Like the input channels, output channels are numbered from left to right and top to bottom,
so the card in output slot number one (the one immediately to the right of the switch fabric
card as you look at the back panel) contains output channel numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4, counting
from the top of the card to the bottom. The card in slot number two contains input channel
numbers 5, 6, 7, and 8, and so on up to 36.
Currently, there are four video output card options. All four options come with four output
channels. New options are under development; contact Black Diamond Video for more
information.
