Barco Event Master CXP I/O Card - R9004797

Product Overview

The Barco R9004797 Event Master CXP I/O card is a flexible input/output module for Barco E2 and S3 Event Master processors. The card can be used in either an input or output slot, adding flexibility for how video signals are distributed through a linked Event Master system. It carries signal over CXP cable and lets linked systems extend up to eight links of input or output to an EX chassis. The card is supplied as genuine Barco article number R9004797.

Product Description

As shown in the product image, the R9004797 CXP I/O card is a board-level module that installs into an Event Master chassis slot and is configured as input or output depending on the slot it occupies. Its primary role is distribution: it adds the ability for linked Event Master systems to extend up to eight links of input or output to an EX chassis, expanding the reach of a multi-chassis deployment. Connection is made over CXP cable, and the link can be converted to MTP fiber optic cable for runs up to 300m, which suits venues where processors and displays are far apart. The card is broadly compatible across the Event Master line, including E2, E2 Gen 2, E2 Jr, E2 Tri-Combo, S3 Standalone, S3 Tri-Combo, and the S3-4K family. It works alongside VPU and other I/O cards in the same chassis, so integrators speccing a complete system can pair it with other Barco processing modules in our Barco collection.
