„Use the following steps to install a wide screen “stack” configuration:

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.

1.Follow the unpacking procedures as listed in the “Unpacking and Inspection” section on page 62.

2.In Appendix A, refer to the “Physical and Electrical Specifications” section on page 367 for electrical and mechanical details.

3.In Chapter 2, 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 processor, follow the rack mount procedures as outlined in the “Rack- Mount Installation” section on page 62. 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 systems to the Switch.

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

a.As an important prerequisite, complete your “Connection Charts” on page 89 to streamline the source installation procedure.

b.Using information from the charts, connect the desired “direct” sources to each M/E’s input connectors on each stack. Note that in a wide screen stack system, scaled sources only connect to stack #1. The “link” connections carry the signals to the other stacks:
