3. Hardware Installation
Installation
• On stack #1 only, connect “direct” sources 1 - 6 to each M/E’s
input connectors on the “
bottom stack” processor.
• On stack #1 only, connect “direct” sources 7 - 12 to each M/E’s
input connectors on the “
top stack” processor.
c. Unscaled Backgrounds must originate from computers with multi-head
graphics cards, and connect to the same input on each “bottom stack”
processor.
S To connect an unscaled background source in a double widescreen
stack system (each processor with three M/Es):
• On the first stack, connect the computer’s “head 1” to the
bottom stack processor, input 3A
• On the second stack, connect the computer’s “head 2” to the
bottom stack processor, 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 4 only would
enable a bug to be placed
only in that screen space.
If you elect to use a multi-head graphics card for the DSK, ensure that
you connect to the same input on each processor — to the highest
priority M/E.
S To connect an unscaled DSK source in a double widescreen stack
system (each processor with three M/Es):
• On the first stack, connect the computer’s “head 1” to the top
stack processor, input 1A
• On the second stack, connect the computer’s “head 2” to the
top stack processor, input 1A
7. Stack Interconnections —
a.
On the first stack:
• Connect the bottom stack’s
DVI Preview Output to the top
stack’s Background 1 input (
3A).
• Connect the bottom stack’s
DVI Program Output to the top
stack’s Background 2 input (
3B).
Note
Input 3A resides on the lowest priority M/E in a 3 M/E system.
To connect a
second background source, use input 3B on
both stacks.
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 (or alternate) DSK,
use input 1B on both stacks.
