For the optimum speed in system setup and operations, this section provides a quick
“recipe” for system setup and operations. Links are provided for each complete procedure
outlined below.
Use the following “recipe” for quick system setup and operations:
1. Ensure that your LED wall(s) are properly installed and cabled.
2. Ensure that the DX-700 is properly installed in your equipment rack. In Chapter 3,
refer to the “Rack-Mount Installation” section on page63 for instructions.
3. Ensure that all DX-700 modules are firmly seated and installed in the proper
configuration. In Chapter 2, refer to the “Module Installation and Configuration”
section on page 55 for instructions.
4. Ensure that all sources and signals are properly connected to/from the DX-700. In
Chapter3, refer to the “Signal Connection” section on page 65 for instructions.
5. Turn on power to your LED walls and Fiberlink connections.
6. Turn on power to the DX-700. Refer to the “Power-Up Initialization” section on
page77 for details.
7. If you are using the DX-700 for the first time, or if it has just returned from a show,
perform a factory reset to remove saved presets and restore system default
settings. Refer to the “Performing a Factory Reset” section on page 146 for
more information.
8. Calibrate the Touch Screen. Refer to the “Using the Front Panel Display
Adjustments Menu” section on page145 for details.
9. If you wish to set a specific delay mode (other than Standard delay mode), access
the Reduced/Minimum Delay Menu and “pre-select” the desired mode. Refer to
the “Pre-selecting the Delay Mode” section on page 159 for instructions on
setting and changing the delay mode.
10. Run the Setup Wizard to set up your LED wall outputs and create “groups.”
Refer to the “Using the Setup Wizard” section on page80 for instructions.
Important This quick start procedure works for Barco (legacy) LED
products such as MiPIX, DLite 7 and OLite 612, and newer
NNI-based LED products such as NX-4 and NX-6.
The procedure does not work for “creative” LED products
such as MiTRIX, MiSPHERE and MiSTRIP. For those
products, please refer to the “Director Toolset User’s
Guide” for instructions.
Important Ensure that you set up all outputs, and configure all your
output groups.
