Installation

6.Ethernet Connections — a totally “local” network connection is recommended. Connect the VP(s), VPx(s) and Controller to the Switch.

7.Direct Source Connections — if you elect to use direct connections, in place of (or in addition to) router connections:

a.Connect “direct” sources to each M/E’s input connectors on each stack. Note that in a wide screen stack system, scaled sources only connect to stack #1. The “link” connections carry the signals to the other stacks:

•On stack #1 only, connect “direct” sources 1 - 6 to each M/E’s input connectors on the “bottom stack” processor.

•On stack #1 only, connect “direct” sources 7 - 12 to each M/E’s input connectors on the “top stack” processor.

b.Unscaled Backgrounds must originate from computers with multi-head graphics cards, and connect to the same input on each “bottom stack” processor.

S To connect an unscaled background source in a double widescreen stack system (each processor with three M/Es):

•On the first stack, connect the computer’s “head 1” to the bottom stack processor, input 3A

•

Note

On the second stack, connect the computer’s “head 2” to the bottom stack processor, input 3A

Input 3A resides on the lowest priority M/E in a 3 M/E system. To connect a second background source, use input 3B on both stacks.

c.The DSK source may originate from a computer with a multi-head graphics card, but it is not a requirement.

S Connecting a single-head graphics card to processor 4 only would enable a bug to be placed only in that screen space.

Note	The DSK Setup Menu allows you to pick an individual ID
	within a widescreen on which to perform DSK setup.

If you elect to use a multi-head graphics card for the DSK, ensure that you connect to the same input on each processor — to the highest priority M/E.

STo connect an unscaled DSK source in a double widescreen stack system (each processor with three M/Es):

•On the first stack, connect the computer’s “head 1” to the top stack processor, input 1A

•

Note

On the second stack, connect the computer’s “head 2” to the top stack processor, input 1A

Input 1A resides on the highest priority M/E in a 3 M/E Encore system. If you wish to connect a backup (or alternate) DSK, use input 1B on both stacks.
