10. ASSEMBLING AND DEVICES COUPLING
The Ascender 48 can be used in mulple device conguraon such as a large mul-device screen blend
(Hard Edge and So Edge). In cases where the blended screen involves more than one Ascender 48 device,
it becomes desirable to improve the syncronizaon or eects and transions between the mulple units, to
ensure the consistency of any moving images which cross the boundary between devices. The Ascender 48
oers a pair of Device Link ports for this purpose.
To use the Device Link feature in a mul-device setup, you will need one standard straight CAT5 ethernet
cable. Start by connecng the Cat5 cable from the Device Link output RJ-45 jack of device 1 to the Device link
input RJ-45 jack of device 2.

NOTES:
1/ Up to 2 devices can be connected using Device Link.
2/ The Cat5 based Device Link does not pass any video picture informaon. This link can only be used to
synchronize the ming of eects and processing on Ascender 48 devices used as part of the same mul-
device screen blend (Hard Edge and So Edge). Video informaon should be shared using specic Analog
Way cables.
3/ The  console is compable with mul-device conguraon.
