Display configurations SynView sets new standards in its configuration options. The amount of inputs displayed on an output (head) can easily be expanded. This is achieved by adding cards to this system. With every extra multiview card you will add 4 extra inputs. The flexible building blocks (GQW220, HQW220, GQW200, HQW200, GIQ200 and HIQ200) allow for ultimate scaling of the most demanding systems. Example 2: 5 heads in one 4RU frame This example shows a SynView SVH/SVG700002 (16 x G/HQW220 + 2x G/HIQ200) configured as a five screen setup with 8+12+12+16+22/2 inputs. All screen sources need to be connected individually. Example 1: 72 inputs on one head This example shows a SynView SVH/SVG720000 (18 x G/HQW220) configured as a single screen with 72 SDI inputs. The GIQ200 or HIQ200 adds input functionality. Also, this module accepts NTP timecode on RJ45, LTC input (balanced on subd15) and still 3 3Gb/s, HD or SD inputs. 8 9

Example 3: 22+2 inputs in one 2RU frame This example shows a SynView SVH/SVG220002 (4x G/HQW220 + 2x G/HIQ200) configured as a single screen with 22 SDI inputs and 2 /VGA inputs. All screen sources need to be connected individually. Two expansion slots are still available for extra screen inputs or generic Synapse modules. Example 4: 2 displays in one 2RU frame This example shows a SynView SVH/SVG240000 (6x G/HQW220) configured as a dual screen with 8 and 16 grouped inputs. All screen sources need to be connected individually. 10 11

Multihead applications Other frame layout examples For true multihead applications, a 3rd party router needs to be used. In most cases this router is already part of the system. Cortex router control is the ideal software solution for comprehensive multiviewer management. Using Cortex, with the optional router plugin, enables you to control, monitor and setup every aspect of your multiviewer, from screen layout to source management. This example shows a SynView SVH/SVG240000 (6x G/HQW220) configured as a dual head with 8 and 16 grouped inputs. An external existing router (Brand X) will make this system act as a true multihead system. The GQW220 and HQW220 outputs will work as a set in this setup, not stand alone. The Synview system is based on single slot Synapse cards. Depending on the frame you can have multiple layout configurations: RESET BOOT RRC/S08 RRC/S08 RRC/S08 SynView SVH320000 (32 SDI inputs) REF. 1 REF. 1 LOOP REF. 2RESET REF. 2 BOOT LOOP REF. 1 REF. 1 LOOP REF. 2 REF. 2 LOOP RRC/S08 RRC/S08 RRC/S08 RRC/S08 SynView SVH120000 (12 SDI inputs and 5 free expansion slots) RESET BOOT REF. 1 REF. 1 LOOP REF. 2RESET REF. 2 BOOT LOOP REF. 1 REF. 1 LOOP REF. 2 REF. 2 LOOP RRC/S08 RRC/S08 RRC/S08 RRC/S08 SynView SVH150001 (15 SDI inputs, 1 /VGA input and 4 free expansion slots) RESET BOOT REF. 1 REF. 1 LOOP REF. 2RESET REF. 2 BOOT LOOP REF. 1 REF. 1 LOOP REF. 2 REF. 2 LOOP RRC/S08 RRC/S08 RRC/S08 RRC/S08 SynView SVH220002 (22 SDI inputs, 2 /VGA inputs and 2 free expansion slots) 12 13
