10)Ethernet Port

One RJ-45 connector is provided for 10/100BaseT Ethernet communications. For multiple connections, use an Ethernet switch on an isolated network.

11)Genlock

One BNC connector is provided for an analog Genlock connection. PAL or NTSC black burst or composite sync signals are recommended. Please note:

~In wide screen applications, all VPs must be locked together. If you provide Genlock to the first VP in your configuration, Genlock is distributed to the other VPs and VPx units via Program Link.

~If you do not use Genlock in a wide screen application, Encore automatically makes the first VP in your configuration the master.

~Genlock is recommended in configurations that use camera sources.

12) M/E 1 Connectors

13) M/E 2 Connectors

14) M/E 3 Connectors

Six analog and digital connectors are provided for each M/E. Please note:

~All M/E boards are identical. See “M/E Connectors (VP)” on page 52.

~Refer to the “A Word About M/E Connector Priority” section on page 50 for information on M/E connector priority.

15)Unit ID Selector

One 16-position selector (with physical digits 0 - 15) is provided for setting each VP’s unique ID. The selector enables you to assign logical IDs 1 to 16.

Note

Physical digit 0 equates to logical ID 16.

By default, a VP is configured as an DHCP Client, and it automatically obtains an IP address when it sees a DHCP Server. Controller Models SC and LC are configured (by default) as DHCP Servers.

Note

Always ensure that each VP has a unique ID. During setup,

 

the ID is used during various configuration procedures.

 

 

SIn a single VP setup, set the ID to 1. In a three-chassis setup, set the IDs to 1, 2 and 3, respectively.

Note

Using the Miscellaneous Menu, you can re-define IDs using

 

numbers 17 - 32. In Chapter 5, refer to the “Miscellaneous

 

Menu” section on page 196 for details.

 

 

16)Serial Port

One 9-pin D connector is provided for RS-232 serial communications with the VP. In Appendix A, refer to the “Serial Connector” section on page 373 for pinouts.

17)AC Connector

One AC Connector is provided to connect the VP to your AC source.

Refer to the “Program Output Notes” section on page 57 for additional information on Processor outputs.
