GRASS VALLEY INDIGO HD EXPANSION Datasheet
Indigo HD Expansion
EXPANDING INDIGO TO EIGHT HD -SDI INPUTS
Now you can cut and mix
between eight HD sources right
from the buttons on the Indigo
control panel.
PRODUCT DATA SHEET
The Indigo™ AV Mixer now can connect
up to eight HD-SDI inputs. The input
expansion is a combination of Indigo’s
powerful external device controls with
a customized version of the Acappella™
router from Grass Valley™.
Connected to Indigo via Ethernet and
standard BNC video cables, the rackmount able input expansion provides
eight HD-SDI inputs and four outputs.
Two of the outputs connect to Indigo
and the other two can be used as
auxiliary outputs. Because the expansion
provides a clean switch output, the
inputs do not require external timing or
synchronization.
With this expansion you can now cut and
mix between eight sources right from
the buttons on the Indigo control panel.
The operation and video processing
capabilities of Indigo, including keys,
effects, and scaling remain unaffected.
KEY FEATURES
Ready Right out of the Box
Only 1 RU in size, the HD expansion
comes ready to operate right out of
the box—just plug it in, connect the
cables, and you can get right to work. In
the few instances when configuration
is necessary, all that is needed is to
connect a standard Web browser to the
router’s Ethernet interface—or use the
Grass Valley NetConfig™ application that
comes standard with the router. And with
its 14-inch (34.5 cm) depth, you never
have to reach deep inside the back of a
rack to change out a cable.
The HD expansion offers highperformance digit al video processing.
Its video processing features include
automatic input cable equalization. It also
supports the reclocking of a data stream
at all standard data rates, including
1.5 Gb/s, eliminating the jitter associated
with long cable runs and previously
processed signals. If an external
reference source is not available, the HD
expansion will synchronize all sources
with its internal clock.
Designed to maximize uptime, you can
add an additional auto-ranging AC power
supply for full power redundancy. Each
power supply features a removable IEC
power cord connection with integrated
cord clamps to eliminate accidental
unplugging; the cord connection also
supports any AC plug-end available.

Options and Licensing
Any Indigo AV Mixer may be upgraded
to add the expansion. While the Indigo
HD expansion is based on the Acappella
router, the expansion is not a retrofit
for existing Acappella units. No special
software or licenses are required in
addition to the purchase of the expansion
hardware.
To purchase the Indigo HD expansion,
use the part numbers below. Connecting
standard Acappella units will not provide
a synchronized switch with Indigo.
