Notes
- Each video differential pair is composed of VIDEOn and GNDn, both connected to digitizer n, where n is 1, 2, 3 or 4.
- To inform the system of the VEB LINK header usage, pin 9 named Presence with pin 10 named Dig. GND must be connected. VEBs include this connection.
Moreover, Picolo Alert offers an additional internal connector named VEB LINK 0. This 10-pin header connector is mounted in parallel with the four video inputs (VIDEO1, VIDEO2, VIDEO3 and VIDEO4) available on the board bracket.
