INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

System Test Installation

CXPS Manual Edition 1.08 Installation 23

The RS-232 connection to the CXPS is established and the processor can be controlled using

the RS-232 command set found in Appendix A, “RS-232 and 10/100T Protocol.”

Step 3: Connect and Test a DVI and a Fiber Input on all Output Channels

WHAT YOU WILL NEED FOR THIS STEP

• DVI video input source. Black Diamond Video recommends that, for this DVI input

source, you use the same laptop or personal computer that is being used to temporarily

control the CXPS.

• Display device capable of displaying a DVI video input signal.

• DVI cable.

• (Optional) DVI signal conditioners. If the distance to the display requires more than

seven meters of DVI cable, a Black Diamond Video DVI X-treme Cable Kit should be

used with the DVI X-treme II Conditioner and appropriate length of cable provided in

the DVI cable kit.

• Fiber video input source (if the CXPS has fiber inputs).

• Display device capable of displaying a fiber video input signal (if the CXPS has fiber

outputs).

• Fiber optic cable.

• RS-232 Commands:

DESCRIPTION

For the system test installation, apply a single DVI test video input signal and a single fiber

test video input signal. Connect at least one of the display devices you plan to use in your

final system installation. Verify that your test video input is properly displayed on the

display device when routed through each input and output channel. The easiest method to

ensure transmission is to connect a reliable video source directly to the CXPS input.

1 Connect a DVI (or fiber) source to the first DVI (or fiber) input of the CXPS.

This should be done using Black Diamond Video tested cable. Black Diamond Video recom-

mends that you use the same laptop that is being used to temporarily control the CXPS simul-

taneously as the DVI source. A fiber source should be used to test fiber cable.

2 Make certain that the display(s) being tested has been set to display a DVI digital signal

(for testing DVI) or fiber video signal (for testing fiber).
