DX-700 Module Configuration Rules

DX-700 supports a wide number of system configurations. Input and output modules are installed in “banks,” consisting of one (or more) input modules, and either one or two output modules (with two being the maximum allowed in a bank). By definition, a “bank” is a way of combining inputs and outputs into independent video processors that are capable of driving one (or more) LED walls.

Please remember the following important “module” configuration rules.

In the most basic of DX-700 “single bank” configurations, you must have at least one input

1 module and one output module — to route video to an LED wall.

As you face the rear of the chassis, the right-most module in the Input/Output Section must

2 always be an Output Module. It must always be right-justified against the System Module.

In multi-bank configurations, all banks must be directly adjacent to one another, with no

4 blank panels in between.

IMPORTANT

With the exception of “spare” modules, if the DX-700 determines that any modules are incorrectly installed (or missing), a Startup Diagnostic Menu appears which prompts you to power down and re-configure your modules.

If the above prompt occurs, and provided that a System Module is properly installed, on the Startup Diagnostic Menu you can press the DX-700 Management button, and access a subset of management functions.

The DX-700 will not recognize modules that are installed to the left of a blank panel. They will be treated as spares.

Slots that do not contain modules must always have blank panels installed.

Storing Spare Modules

Within any bank, all modules must be adjacent to each other, with no blank panels

3 in-between, and all Output Module(s) are always right-justified.

Configure a bank according to the rules

1 outlined in the “DX-700 Module Configuration Rules” section.

Install a blank panel immediately to the

2 left of the bank’s left-most input module.

In the remaining slots, insert spare

3 modules. These are ignored and treated as spares.
