You use the video components to set up video I/O and a broadcast monitor. The only video 
hardware you must provide are: a sync generator, a VTR, and an SD or HD SDI broadcast 
monitor. The following components are included in your hardware shipment.

 The DVS Centaurus board 

provides video I/O. Use the DVS Breakout Box II for serial control of a VTR or other slave device 
and LTC output to an audio device.

The NVIDIA Quadro FX graphics board 

provides output to your computer monitor.

The EIZO and 

Sony LCD graphics monitors provide a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio for film or HD projects. 
With these monitors, the application runs at a maximum resolution of 1920x1200. For 
instructions on connecting the graphics monitor, see 

The Altinex video distribution 

amplifier can serve a bi-level (SD) or tri-level (HD) sync signal to up to four video hardware 
devices from a single sync source/generator. It serves the sync signal to the NVIDIA graphics 
board and the DVS Centaurus board.

The following diagram describes the video I/O wiring for both the Real-time deliverables 
configuration and without Real-time deliverables. Real-time deliverables allows Lustre to play 
out to a VTR directly through the DVS SDI OUT.

The backplanes depicted in the following diagram represent a Windows-based 

configuration, but, it is also accurate for a Linux-based configuration, where the ATTO fibre-

channel adapter is replaced by the Infiniband HCA.
