The Encore Presentation System offers complete flexibility with regard to destinations.
Examples of each destination “type” are listed below:
•Single Screen Destination — this is a “single projector” destination that takes its
input from a VP. A VPx can only be used as a single destination in a special
widescreen “preview” configuration.
•Wide Screen Destination — this is a “multiple projector” destination that takes its
inputs from two (or more) VP or VPx units.
•ScreenPRO-II Destination — this is a standalone ScreenPRO-II that takes its
inputs via direct connections or routers. When the ScreenPRO-II output is
connected to a “side” projector (or monitor), its “look” can be controlled from the
Encore Controller as a unique destination.
•Aux Destination — this is a monitor that takes its input from a router output (in a
single format). When you select an Aux destination and a source on the
Controller, you are talking directly to a router output via RS-232 or Ethernet
communications — and making the selected source-to-destination connection.
•ImagePRO Aux Destination — this is an ImagePRO that takes its input(s) from
multiple routers in multiple formats. When connected to a monitor or projector, a
scaled signal is provided in one format. Whereas an Aux Destination’s input is
single format, an ImagePRO Aux Destination’s input is multi-format.
•PresentationPRO-II Aux Destination — this is a PresentationPRO-II that takes
its input(s) from up to two routers — one analog and one SDI. When connected to
a single monitor or projector, a scaled signal is provided in one format. The
transition “type” between sources is selected on the PresentationPRO-II itself.
In Chapter 6, refer to the “Destination Setup” section on page277 for details on standard
destination setup procedures. Refer to the “AUX Destination Setup” section on page281
for details on Aux destination setup procedures.
