5.5 PDB - 5 Input & Output
Connections Checklist
● DVI over HDMI or SDI (to a R1i only) signal connected to Vizomo capture card
● 100-240 50/60 VAC power to Vizomo
● PXL data cable from a Vizomo to the PXL Data Input jack on the back of the PDB -5.
● Power and data cable(s) from the fixture(s) to the appropriate PXL Cable output(s) on the back of the PDB-5.
● PowerCon end of the PDB5 power cable to the AC Power Input A jack on the back of the PDB-5.
● IEC end of the PDB5 power cable to a 200 -240 VAC power source.
Power Inputs A & B
The PDB -5 has two power 16A inputs on the rear panel labeled A and B.
Input A must always be used as it powers the electronics inside the PDB-5.
If only input A is used then all outputs (1 through 6) will be powered by input A.
When input B is used in addition to A, then outputs 4, 5, and 6 automatically switch over and become powered by input B. This doubles the PDB-5's total
capacity.
A green indicator on the front panel shows when input B is being used.
PXL Cable Outputs
The PDB -5 has 6x 10 amp outputs with breakers for AC power distribution.
The limit for each PDB - 5 output is 10 A, with a total output of 32 A maximum per PDB -5, if both inputs A and B are used.
The maximum number of C8v tiles per PDB -5 port is 25 (this is limited by data, not power).
The maximum number of C11 tiles per PDB -5 port is 16 (this is limited by data, not power).
For additional information on the PXL Cable, see " Cables & Connectors " in the C - series Tile Manual.
