10) Ethernet Port
One RJ-45 connector is provided for 10/100BaseT Ethernet communications with
the Controller. For multiple Ethernet connections in an Encore system, a standard
Ethernet switch on an isolated network is recommended. In Appendix A, see the
“
Ethernet Connector” section on page 349 for pinouts.
11) Genlock
One BNC connector is provided for an analog Genlock connection. PAL or NTSC
black burst or composite sync signals are recommended. Please note:
~ In wide screen applications, all Processors must be locked together. If
you provide Genlock to the first Processor in your configuration, Genlock
is distributed to the other Processors via the
Program Link connections.
~ If you do not use Genlock in a wide screen application, Encore
automatically makes the first Processor in your configuration the master.
~ Genlock is recommended in configurations that use camera sources.
12) M/E 1 Connectors
13) M/E 2 Connectors
14) M/E 3 Connectors
Six analog and digital connectors are provided for each M/E. Please note:
~ All M/E boards are identical. Refer to the “M/E Connectors” section on
page 45 for details.
~ Refer to the “A Word About M/E Connector Priority” section on
page 44 for information on M/E connector priority in different Encore
Processor configurations.
15) Unit ID Selector
One 16-position selector (with physical digits 0 - 15) is provided for setting each
Processor’s unique
ID. The selector enables you to assign logical IDs 1 to 16.
By default, a Processor is configured to be a
DHCP Client, and it will
automatically obtain an IP address when it sees a
DHCP Server. Controller
Models SC and LC are configured (by default) to be DHCP Servers.
S In a single Processor setup, set the ID to 1. In a three-chassis
setup, set the IDs to
1, 2 and 3, respectively.
Note
Physical digit 0 equates to logical ID 16.
Note
Always ensure that each Processor has a unique ID. During
system setup, the
ID will be used during various important
configuration procedures.
Note
Using the Miscellaneous Menu, you can re-define IDs using
numbers
17 - 32. In Chapter 5, refer to the “Miscellaneous
Menu” section on page 179 for details.
