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.
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
page50 for info rmation 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.
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.
SIn a single VP setup, set the ID to 1. In a three-chassis setup, set
the IDs to 1, 2 and 3, respectively.
16) Serial Port
One 9-pin D connector is provided for RS-232 serial communications with the VP.
In AppendixA, 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 page57 for additional information on
Processor outputs.
12) M/E 1 Connectors 13) M/E 2 Connectors 14) M/E 3 Connectors
Note Physical digit 0 equates to logical ID 16.
Note Always ensure that each VP has a unique ID. During setup,
the ID is used during various configuration procedures.
Note Using the Miscellaneous Menu, you can re-define IDs using
numbers 17 - 32. In Chapter5, refer to the “Miscellaneous
Menu” section on page 196 for details.
