4.4 Dual mode
In dual mode one HYDRA COMPACT is connected to two projection modules. A special setting of the iSTUDIO software
allows displaying the sources of the HYDRA COMPACT on both modules; please refer also to the iSTUDIO user’s man-
ual section Dual Mode. One DVI-DVI output card per HYDRA COMPACT is sufficient to setup dual mode.
Configuration
In dual mode each connector of the card is used to provide data for one projection module. Channel one (the
upper connector) is connected to the left projection module (looking from front to the projection modules);
channel two is connected to the right projection module, please see also the figure below:
