As mentioned earlier, the EMS1000P and

PC

EMS1000MP-T transmitters are both capable

 

 

of supporting additional transmitter (and their

 

 

 

 

subsequent receiver) units. This is achieved using

 

 

 

 

the video and audio out ports to provide the inputs

 

 

 

 

into the next transmitter unit, and so on. A limit

 

 

of three cascade connections (comprising both

 

 

transmitter and/or receiver cascades) is possible

 

 

within any branch of the system.

Receiver Cascading

This method of expansion is limited to the EMS1000MP-R receivers as only they are equipped with the necessary LINK OUT cascade port. Using the LINK OUT port, the video and audio signals are transferred via UTP cabling to the next receiver. This receiver can then drive its own dual screen/speaker sets as well as provide a further LINK OUT to a third and final EMS1000MP-R receiver. A limit of three cascade connections (comprising both transmitter and/or receiver cascades) is possible within any branch of the system.
