Installation
11. Output Connections — all output monitor and projector connections originate
from the “top stack” processors:
a. On each “top stack” processor, connect the analog or digital Preview
Output to the input of the associated Preview Monitor.
b. On each “top stack” processor, connect the analog or digital Program 2
Output to the input of the associated Program Monitor.
c. On each “top stack” processor, connect the analog or digital Program 1
Output to the input of the associated projector.
d. Connect the “top stack” Program Out HD/SDI connector to an SDI or
HDTV monitor, or to the proper video distribution equipment.
e. If you elect to output in an interlaced format (e.g., 1920 x 1080i), connect
each top stack’s H Sync Output signal (located on the Program 2 Out
Analog connector) to the Genlock input on the bottom stack.
12. Aux Destinations — you can configure three types of Aux destinations: Aux
(monitors), ImagePRO Aux and PresentationPRO-II Aux. Refer to Appendix D,
“Working With Destinations” on page 393 for interconnection details.
13. Link Connections — in a widescreen application, the Program Link and Source
Link connections (DVI-I) are used to connect processors together, and bridge
inputs and outputs for the proper “overlap” between projectors. Refer to the
“Program and Source Link Connections” section on page98 for instructions.
14. Power Connection — connect AC power cords to all Encore and peripheral
equipment, and then to AC outlets.
15. Tally Connection — the Controller provides one 25-pin D connector for issuing
“relay closure” commands to external devices. Eight circuits are provided. In
Appendix A, refer to the “Tally Connector” section on page374 for details.
16. System ID — Using the Unit ID Selector:
a. On the first stack, set the ID of the bottom stack Processor to 1 (VP only)
Set the ID of the top stack Processor to 2 (VP or VPx).
b. On the second stack, set the ID of the bottom stack Processor to 3 (VP
or VPx). Set the ID of the top stack Processor to 4 (VP or VPx).
17. Power On — all power on instructions are covered in Chapter 6.
Continue with Chapter 4, “Controller Orientation” on page107.
Note This output only works if the selected output resolution is a
valid SDI or HD/SDI format.
Note Using a (customer supplied) VGA to 5xBNC breakout cable,
the H Sync Output line is typically a white or gray cable.
Important In each stack, the ID of the bottom stack Processor must
always be lower than the ID of the top stack Processor.
Remember that master units (ID#1 and ID#2) must be VP
only, not VPx.
