Front Panel Status LEDs
| LED Name | Indication |
|---|---|
| Active |
On: Processor in operation Blinking: Processor booting up Blinking (not reaching a solid state): Continuous blinking indicates a problem with the processor, please contact our Brompton Support Team at support@bromptontech.com for assistance |
| Ethernet | The processor is detecting a network connection |
| Video In | The processor is connected to a valid video input source |
| Tessera Out | The processor is connected to fixtures |
| Reference In |
The processor has a valid source of genlock connected to the reference input connector |
| Overtemp |
Off: Processor is in normal operating temperatures Blinking: Processor overheating but operational (85°C) On: Processor overheated and shutdown (90°C) |
| NOTE: | Please ensure processors are adequately ventilated and operating within an ambient temperature of 0-40°Celsius. |
Rear Panel Connections
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Management Ethernet | Connect a PC or Mac running Tessera Remote, Tessera Control applications or an eDMX protocol directly to the local data Gigabit Ethernet port. The two ports work as a switch to daisy-chain units. |
| Local User Interface | Tessera SX40 LED Processor can be operated locally with a monitor connected via DisplayPort. Peripherals such as mouse and keyboard can be connected to the USB ports on either the front or rear panel. |
| HDMI Input | A HDMI 2.0 input with support for digital 4k progressive signal up to 4096x2160 and frame rates up to 250Hz (maximum pixel clock of 600MHz). See Canvas Resolutions for more information. |
| Reference Input | Used for analog bi-level or tri-level sync. |
| 12G-SDI Input | A 12G-SDI input is available. The SDI inputs supports HD-SDI, 3G-SDI level A or level B, 6G-SDI and 12G-SDI, 2SI format; SQ not supported. 12G-SDI accepts a progressive signal of up to 4096 x 2160 resolution at 23.98Hz to 60Hz framerate with 10 bits per channel colour depth. |
| Loop Thru Ports | 12G SDI and reference thru ports are reclocked. |
| 10 Gigabit Ethernet Outputs | The Tessera SX40 LED Processor has four 10 Gigabit outputs which can be used by plugging a Tessera XD Distribution Unit to distribute the signal. Fixtures should be connected to the EtherCON connectors in the Tessera XD Unit with Gigabit Ethernet cable (Cat-5e or above). See System Configuration for more information. |
| DMX512-A Input and Thru | For DMX real-time control. |
| On/Off Switch | The processor can be shut down from the local interface, remote computer or at the switch. |
| IEC Mains Input | The input is auto ranging from 100-250v/47-63Hz. |
| NOTE: | The HDMI thru port on SX40 is provided as a convenience for confidence monitoring. It is not recommended to use it as part of a mission-critical video path, where upstream video distribution should be preferred. |
