3. Hardware Installation
System Installation
5. As required, ensure that your system interconnection charts are handy. Refer to
the “
Connection Charts” section on page 56 for details on completing the charts.
6. Ethernet Connections — a completely “local” network connection is
recommended, without IP connections to the outside world.
a. Using an Ethernet cable, connect the ScreenPRO-II Controller’s
Ethernet port to a Hub or Switch.
b. Connect all ScreenPRO-II units to the Ethernet Hub or Switch.
c. If your system uses BlendPRO-II, connect the BlendPRO-II chassis to
the Ethernet Hub or Switch.
d. Connect all routers (such as MatrixPRO) to the Ethernet Hub or Switch.
7. Serial Connections — the ScreenPRO-II Controller’s serial port is configured as
DCE, 115K baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity bits.
e. For a single serial controlled router, use an RS-232 cable to connect the
router to the ScreenPRO-II Controller’s
EXT COMM port.
f. To connect two (or more) serial routers, a third-party Ethernet-to-Serial
converter box is required, such as the
Lantronix model UDS200 Device
Server (
http://www.lantronix.com/pdf/UDS200_PB.pdf). Each
Lantronix
UDS200 can control two serial routers.
• Using RS-232 cables, connect each router to the
UDS200.
• Set up a static IP address on the Lantronix device itself. The
recommended range is
192.168.0.200 - 192.168.0.239 — such
as not to conflict with other devices. Refer to the
Lantronix
UDS200 User’s Guide
for instructions.
• Using an Ethernet cable, connect the
UDS200 to the same LAN
that includes the ScreenPRO-II Controller.
8. Source Connections
a.
If you are using external routing:
• Ensure that all sources are properly connected to your analog
and digital routers.
• Connect analog router outputs to analog inputs 1 and 2 on each
ScreenPRO-II. These are the default analog router inputs.
• Connect digital router outputs to SDI inputs 1 and 2 on each
ScreenPRO-II.
b. If you are using internal routing:
• As required, connect discreet analog source outputs to the
desired analog inputs on each ScreenPRO-II.
• As required, connect discreet digital source outputs to the
desired digital inputs on each ScreenPRO-II.
• If analog DAs are utilized (recommended), connect analog
source outputs to DA inputs, and DA outputs to the desired
analog inputs on each ScreenPRO-II.
Note
The ScreenPRO-II Controller supports Lantronix models
UDS100 and UDS200. In Chapter 4, refer to the “Lantronix
Setup Menu” section on page 131 for addition information
about
Lantronix setup.
