Use the following steps to install a single screen “stack” configuration:
1. Follow the unpacking procedures as listed in the “Unpacking and Inspection
section on page62 .
2. In AppendixA, refer to the “Physical and Electrical Specifications” section on
page367 for elect rical and mechanical details.
3. In Chapter2, refer to the “Video Processor Rear Panel” section on page 45 and
the “Controller Rear Panels” section on page 58 for all connector locations.
4. For each VP, follow the rack mount procedures as outlined in the “Rack-Mount
Installation” section on page62. Remember that Master units (ID#1 and ID#2)
must be VP, not VPx.
5. Ethernet Connections — a totally “local” network connection is recommended.
Using Ethernet cables:
a. Connect the processors and Controller to the Ethernet Switch.
b. Connect router(s) to the Switch.
c. As required, connect ScreenPRO-II, PresentationPRO-II and ImagePRO

Qty. Item Note
2 VP Master units (ID#1 and ID#2) must be VP, not VPx. The ID of the bottom
stack VP must always be lower than the ID of the top stack VP.
1 Controller Model SC or LC
1 Video Projector Customer supplied
2 DVI or Analog Monitors Program and Preview (customer supplied)
1 Ethernet Switch Customer supplied
3 Ethernet cables Customer supplied. Additional cables required for routers.
2 DVI Interconnect cables Connects bottom stack Processor to top stack Processor
TBD Sources, routers, cables Analog, Video and/or DVI as required (customer supplied)
Important It is recommended that each stack consists of two “fully
loaded” processors, each with three M/Es. If necessary, you
can use a mis-matched configuration (e.g., two M/Es in the
bottom stack, three in the top), but the top stack must always
have three M/Es installed. In this way, your stacked set will
never have anything less than four M/Es available.
