3. Hardware Installation
Installation
• Connect the computer’s “head 3” to processor 3, input 3A
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 3 only would
enable a bug to be placed
only in that screen space.
To use a multi-head graphics card for the DSK, connect it to the same
input on each VP or VPx — to the highest priority M/E (M/E 1).
S To connect an unscaled DSK source in a triple processor system
(each processor with three M/Es):
• Connect the computer’s “head 1” to processor 1, input 1A
• Connect the computer’s “head 2” to processor 2, input 1A
• Connect the computer’s “head 3” to processor 3, input 1A
7. D/A Connections —
a.
If your system includes analog, SDI or DVI D/As, connect video inputs to
the D/As as required.
b. Connect D/A outputs to the to the desired M/E input connectors.
8. Router Connections — if you elect to use router connections, in place of (or in
addition to) direct connections:
a. For Ethernet controlled routers, ensure that they are connected to the
same Switch as the Controller and processors. Ensure that each router
has an unique IP address.
b. To connect a single serial controlled router, use an RS-232 cable to
connect the router to the Controller’s
EXT COMM port. In Chapter 2,
refer to the “
Controller Rear Panels” section on page 58 for details.
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). Note that 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. Refer to the
Lantronix User’s Guide
for instructions.
• Using an Ethernet cable, connect the
UDS2100 to the same
switch as the Controller and processors.
Note
Input 3A resides on the lowest priority M/E in a 3 M/E system.
To connect a
second background, use input 3B.
Note
The DSK Setup Menu allows you to pick an individual ID
within a widescreen on which to perform DSK setup.
Note
Input 1A resides on the highest priority M/E in a 3 M/E Encore
system. If you wish to connect a
backup DSK, use input 1B.
