Connecting Multi-Screen configurations using ScreenPRO Plus,
ScreenPRO & BlendPRO Units
BlendPRO is designed to work seamlessly with Folsom’s ScreenPRO & ScreenPRO Plus products to support multi-
screen applications. The drawings provided in this section illustrate how to connect BlendPRO and ScreenPRO units
to ScreenPRO Plus. There are three different drawings corresponding to four, five and six screen configurations
using a ScreenPRO Plus model 1204 or model 1604. Please refer to the diagram that corresponds to the number of
screens you are using. If you are configuring a show consisting of 2 to 4 screens use figure 2-2. Figure 2-3 shows a
five-screen configuration and figure 2-4 shows a six-screen configuration.
High quality video cables should be used to connect ScreenPRO units, BlendPRO units, and projectors:
• HD-15M to 5 wire BNC (Folsom Research part number 14-9760011-00)
• 5 wire BNC to 5 wire BNC (Folsom Research part number 14-9760045-00)
The control connections between the BlendPRO and ScreenPRO Controller are made with standard 25-pin serial
cable with DB-25 male connectors on each end of the cable. One of these cables was shipped with your BlendPRO.
Additional cables are available from Folsom Research as an optional item (Folsom P/N: 14-9760031-00). For five or
six screen configurations, the BlendPRO remote port is connected to the CBB-6X RS-485 breakout box. This box is
supplied with ScreenPRO remote controllers model FC-0608 and is also available from Folsom Research as an
optional item (Folsom P/N: 02-0111239-00).
For a five or six screen configuration you must also connect a cable between the Expansion Out connector of the first
BlendPRO (the one connected to projectors 1-4) and the Expansion In connector on the second BlendPRO (the one
connected to projectors 5 & 6). The cable for this connection is available from Folsom Research as an optional item
(Folsom P/N: 14-9760043-00).
