Chapter 1 Product Overview
This article is mainly about AURORA1600, developed by OSEE with high
intelligent, which applied the 1U Multi-image Processor, which performs
multi-channels input signals displayed on one screen for surveillance. It
attaches, switches and zooms the video sources, and provides ideal visual
effect, flexible operation environment and easiness for configuration and
maintenance.
The device has the compact module structure, supports up to 16 channels of
3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs, and up to 4 channels of HDMI/SDI outputs, the
resolution is up to 1920*1080. Signals can be appointed to any output for
display freely, and it allows the user easily to set up a display system in 1U
frame with 4 inputs, 8 inputs, 12 inputs or 16 inputs.
The device integrates an internal control software to connect to and configure
the controller. You can configure multi-walls and multi-scene with the input
video sources, and set them at any position and in arbitrary size in the
operating interface of the software. Each video window has adequate
resolution to show very high quality frame effects. The software is a WYSIWYG
editor and easy to use.
The 1U Multi-image Processor and its inner control software compose the
Multi-image system, and it is widely used in studio, transmission control rooms,
video conference center, general control center, TV Stations and so on.

corresponding pins of RS422 interface at the rear panel.
The instructions are as below:
Operations:
Firstly, power down the AURORA1600 device, insert a network cable
(called as Restore cable) with a RJ45 plug into the RS422 interface.
Short-circuit the two pairs of corresponding pins of RS422 interface:
Pin3(Rx-) and Pin5(Tx-), Pin4(Rx+) and Pin6(Tx+) by twisting the
corresponding wires of the network cable.
Secondly, power on the AURORA1600 and keep it running for at least 60
seconds, thus, the IP address of AURORA1600 will be restored to the
default one.
At last, power off the AURORA1600 again, and pull out the network cable
from the RS422 interface, then power on the AURORA1600, it will run
normally.
Refer to “4.2.2-7 Operations of Rear Panel-RS422” for the details about
