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.

S To 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

Note

On the second stack, connect the computer’s “head 2” to the bottom stack processor, input 3A

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.

d.The DSK source may originate from a computer with a multi-head graphics card, but it is not a requirement.

S Connecting a single-head graphics card to processor 4 only would enable a bug to be placed only in that screen space.

Note

The DSK Setup Menu allows you to pick an individual ID

 

within a widescreen on which to perform DSK setup.

 

 

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

Note

On the second stack, connect the computer’s “head 2” to the top stack processor, input 1A

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.

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).
