3. Hardware Installation
Installation
On stack #1 only, connect “direct” sources 1 - 6 to each M/E’s
input connectors on the “bottom stack” processor.
On stack #1 only, connect “direct” sources 7 - 12 to each M/E’s
input connectors on the “top stack” processor.
c. Unscaled Backgrounds must originate from computers with multi-head
graphics cards, and connect to the same input on each “bottom stack”
processor.
STo connect an unscaled background source in a double widescreen
stack system (each processor with three M/Es):
On the first stack, connect the computer’s “head 1” to the
bottom stack processor, input 3A
On the second stack, connect the computer’s “head 2” to the
bottom stack processor, input 3A
d. The DSK source may originate from a computer with a multi-head
graphics card, but it is not a requirement.
SConnecting a single-head graphics card to processor 4 only would
enable a bug to be placed only in that screen space.
If you elect to use a multi-head graphics card for the DSK, ensure that
you connect to the same input on each processor — to the highest
priority M/E.
STo connect an unscaled DSK source in a double widescreen stack
system (each processor with three M/Es):
On the first stack, connect the computer’s “head 1” to the top
stack processor, input 1A
On the second stack, connect the computer’s “head 2” to the
top stack processor, input 1A
7. Stack Interconnections
a. On the first stack:
Connect the bottom stack’s DVI Preview Output to the top
stack’s Background 1 input (3A).
Connect the bottom stack’s DVI Program Output to the top
stack’s Background 2 input (3B).
Note Input 3A resides on the lowest priority M/E in a 3 M/E system.
To connect a second background source, use input 3B on
both stacks.
Note The DSK Setup Menu allows you to pick an individual ID
within a widescreen on which to perform DSK setup.
Note Input 1A resides on the highest priority M/E in a 3 M/E Encore
system. If you wish to connect a backup (or alternate) DSK,
use input 1B on both stacks.
