3. Hardware Installation
Installation
c. To connect two (or more) serial routers, a third-party Ethernet-to-Serial
converter is required, such as the
Lantronix model UDS100, UDS200 or
UDS2100 (http://www.lantronix.com). Each UDS2100 can control two
serial routers.
• Using RS-232 cables, connect each router to the
UDS2100.
• Set up a static IP address on the Lantronix. The recommended
range is
192.168.0.191 - 192.168.0.240 — so as not to conflict
with Encore devices. See the
Lantronix User’s Guide.
• Using an Ethernet cable, connect the
UDS2100 to the same
switch as the Controller and VPs.
d. Ensure that all sources are connected to your router(s).
e. Connect all selected router outputs to the desired M/E inputs.
9. ScreenPRO-II Connections — if your system includes one (or more) destination
ScreenPRO-II units, you can configure them for internal or external routing:
a. When External routers are used, connect two outputs from an Analog
router to
any two HD-15 inputs on the ScreenPRO-II. An SDI router
can also be connected to BNC inputs
1 and 2. During setup, these
specific patches will be defined using the
Output Patch Menu.
b. When Internal routing is used, connect Analog sources to inputs 1 - 8 on
the HD-15 connectors, and SDI sources to BNC inputs
1 and 2. During
setup, these patches will be defined using the
Input Patch Menu.
In Chapter 6, refer to the “
ScreenPRO-II Destination Setup” section on page 279
for more information.
10. Output Connections —
a. For each VP, connect the analog or digital Preview Output to the input
of the associated Preview Monitor.
b. For each VP, connect the analog or digital Program 2 Output to the
input of the associated Program Monitor.
c. For each VP, connect the analog or digital Program 1 Output to the
input of the associated projector.
d. Connect the Program Out HD/SDI connector to an SDI or HDTV monitor
as required, or to the proper video distribution equipment.
11. 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.
12. Power Connection — connect AC power cords to the AC Power Connectors on
the rear of each VP and Controller, and then to AC outlets. Connect AC Power
cords (or AC adapters) to all peripheral equipment. Please note:
~ Connect each unit only to a properly rated supply circuit.
~ Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
13. Tally Connection — the Controller provides one 25-pin D connector for issuing
tally “relay closure” commands to external devices. Eight circuits are provided. In
Appendix A, refer to the “
Tally Connector” section on page 374 for details.
Note
This output only works if the selected output resolution is a
valid SDI or HD/SDI format.
