Barco 26-0313000-00 manual Stack Interconnections, A Connections

3. Hardware Installation

Installation

b.Using the information from the chart:

•Connect “direct” sources 1 - 6 to each M/E’s input connectors on the “bottom stack” processor.

•Connect “direct” sources 7 - 12 to each M/E’s input connectors on the “top stack” processor.

c.Connect unscaled Background sources to the bottom stack:

•Connect background source 1 to input 3A.

•Connect background source 2 to input 3B.

d.Connect unscaled DSK sources to the top stack:

•Connect DSK source 1 to input 1A.

•Connect DSK source 2 to input 1B.

7.Stack Interconnections —

a.Connect the bottom stack’s DVI Preview Output to the top stack’s Background 1 input (3A).

b.Connect the bottom stack’s DVI Program Output to the top stack’s Background 2 input (3B).

8.D/A Connections —

a.If your system includes analog, SDI or DVI D/As, connect video inputs to the D/As as required.

b.Connect D/A outputs to the to the desired M/E input connectors.

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

a.For Ethernet controlled routers:

•Ensure that the router(s) are connected to the same Ethernet Switch as the Controller and processors.

•Ensure that each router has an unique IP address.

b.To connect a single serial controlled router, use an RS-232 cable to connect the router to the Controller’s EXT COMM port. In Chapter 2, refer to the “Controller Rear Panels” section on page 58 for details.

c.To connect two (or more) serial routers, a third-party Ethernet-to-Serial converter is required, such as the Lantronix model UDS100, UDS200 or UDS2100 (http://www.lantronix.com). Each UDS2100 can control two serial routers.

•Using RS-232 cables, connect each router to the UDS2100.

•Set up a static IP address on the Lantronix. The recommended range is 192.168.0.191 - 192.168.0.240.

•Using an Ethernet cable, connect the UDS2100 to the same Ethernet Switch as the Controller and processors.

d.Ensure that all sources are connected to your router(s).

e.Connect all selected router outputs to the desired M/E inputs:

•For PIPs 1 - 6, connect router outputs to the desired M/E inputs on the “bottom stack” processor.

•For PIPs 7 - 12, connect router outputs to the desired M/E inputs on the “top stack” processor.
