3.1 Connections
This section describes connections of the WM-3209/WM-3209-L.
(1) Connecting the Power
When Using a Power Connector
Check that the POWER switch on the unit is OFF. Connect the XLR connector of the AC/DC
adapter to the power connector of the WM-3209/WM-3209-L ((1) on the rear panel.)
Confirm the shape of connectors before use.
(2) Connecting Input Signals
When Accepting a SDI Signal Input
When accepting a SDI signal input, connect a BNC coaxial cable to the SDI IN terminal ((2) and
(4) on the rear panel).
SDI IN is used for SDI signal input, while MONITOR OUT ((6) and (7) on the rear panel) is used
as output for easily verifying the input SDI.
As the 3G SDI input signals, input serial signals which comply with the SMPTE 425M standard.
As the HD-SDI input signals, input serial signals which comply with the SMPTE 292M standard.
For SD-SDI input signals, be sure to use a serial signal that conforms to SMPTE259M (270
Mbit/s)
When Accepting a DUAL LINK Signal Input
When inputting the dual link signals, connect the two sets of BNC coaxial cables to the SDI IN
connectors ((2) and (4) on the rear panel view).
When Dual Link1 has been selected as the input channel, input the Link A signals to the SDI A1
connector ((2) on the rear panel view) and the Link B signals to the SDI B1 connector ((4) on the
rear panel view).
Use serial signals complying with the SMPTE 372M standard for the dual link input signals.
The SDI IN connectors are used for the input of the SDI signals, and the MONITOR OUT A and
B ((6) and (7) on the rear panel view) connectors are used as outputs for the simply monitoring
of the SDI input signals.
When Accepting a COMPOSITE Signal Input
When accepting a composite signal, connect a BNC coaxial cable to COMPOSITE ((8) on the
rear panel). When using NTSC as the composite signal, be sure input a signal that conforms to
SMPTE170M. When using PAL, be sure to input a signal that conforms to ITU-R624-4.
When stereoscopic signals are input
When stereoscopic signals are input, connect two BNC coaxial cables to the SDI IN connectors
(connectors (2) and (4) on the rear panel). Connect the image to be viewed by the right eye to
the SDI A1 connector (connector (2) on the rear panel), and connect the image to be viewed by
the left eye to the SDI B1 connector (connector (4) on the rear panel)
12
(3) Connecting a Remote Controller
When Using a Contact Power Supply System
Check that the POWER switch on the unit is OFF and connect the remote controller to REMOTE
((11) on the rear panel) of the WM-3209/WM-3209-L.
Confirm the shape of connectors before use.
When Using an External ID Display (WM-3209/WM-3209-L Only)
Check that the POWER switch on the unit is OFF and connect the remote controller to RS485
((12) on the rear panel) of the WM-3209/WM-3209-L.
Confirm the shape of connectors before use.
3.2 Method of Operation
A protective film is attached to the surface of the liquid crystal panel at time of shipment. Remove the
protective film before using the WM-3209/WM-3209-L
Check connections and then turn ON the power of the WM-3209/WM-3209-L using the POWER switch
on the front panel. The POWER LED will light and an image will be displayed.
If the POWER LED does not light, check connections again.
Use MONITOR OUT for easy verification of the SDI input signal.
If there is no input signal, the imaging area will appear black and the indicator
No Signal will be
displayed in red.
If no signals are input for LinkB of the dual link signals or there is a difference between the LinkA and
LinkB phases,
PhaseError is displayed in red on the screen.
When Dual Link has been selected as the input channel, a phase
difference equivalent to ±15 clock pulses between the LinkA signals and
LinkB signals is absorbed. If the LinkB signals are not input or the phase
difference cannot be fully absorbed,
PhaseError is displayed at
the bottom of the screen.
CAUTION
When Dual Link has been selected as the input channel, a phase difference
equivalent to ±15 clock pulses between the LinkA signals and LinkB signals is
absorbed. If the LinkB signals are not input or the phase difference cannot be
fully absorbed,
PhaseError is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
