Further Expansion
Transmitter Cascading
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.
