Selecting Video Crosspoints
A video crosspoint shows the connection between a video input and output,
with a JPEG codec, MPEG encoder, or MPEG decoder between.
• Video inputs (top-left corner) represent video input connectors on the back
panel. For example, video inputs can be connected to JPEG codecs or MPEG
encoders for recording onto disk, or connected to video output for display.
• Video outputs (top-right corner) represent video output connectors on the
back panel. For example, video outputs can be connected to JPEG codecs or
MPEG decoders for playback of recorded material from disk or to video
inputs.
To specify video crosspoints:
1. In VdrPanel, choose Window | Video Crosspoint to open the dialog box.
The green boxes indicate current connections. For example, a green box at
the intersection of a SDI-InA-J14 serial digital video board in slot J14 and
a Panel A: MPEG Rec #1 encoder connects the video signal from the back
panel input labeled Video I/O Serial Digital Component IN A to an MPEG
encoder.
