3. Hardware Installation
Installation
b. To connect a single serial controlled router, use an RS-232 cable to
connect the router to the Controller’s
EXT COMM port. In Chapter 2,
refer to the “
Controller Rear Panels” section on page 49 for details.
c. To connect two (or more) serial routers, a third-party Ethernet-to-Serial
converter is required, such as the
Lantronix model UDS100 or UDS200
(http://www.lantronix.com/pdf/UDS200_PB.pdf). Note that each
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. The recommended
range is
192.168.0.191 - 192.168.0.240 — so as not to conflict
with Encore devices. See the
Lantronix User’s Guide.
• Using an Ethernet cable, connect the
UDS200 to the same
Ethernet Switch as the Controller and Processors.
d. Ensure that all sources are connected to your router(s).
e. Connect all selected router outputs to the desired M/E inputs.
9. ScreenPRO-II Connections — if your system includes one (or more)
ScreenPRO-II units as unique destinations, you can configure the ScreenPRO-II
for internal or external source routing:
a. When External routers are used, connect two outputs from an Analog
router to
any two HD-15 inputs on the ScreenPRO-II. An SDI router
can also be connected to BNC inputs
1 and 2. During setup, these
specific patches will be defined using the
Output Patch Menu.
b. When Internal routing is used, connect Analog sources to inputs 1 - 8 on
the HD-15 connectors, and SDI sources to BNC inputs
1 and 2. During
setup, these patches will be defined using the
Input Patch Menu.
10. Output Connections —
a. For each Processor, connect the analog or digital Preview Output to the
input of the associated Preview Monitor.
b. For each Processor, connect the analog or digital Program 2 Output to
the input of the associated Program Monitor.
c. For each Processor, connect the analog or digital Program 1 Output to
the input of the associated projector.
d. (Optional) If your Processors are configured with the HD/SDI output,
connect the
Program Out HD/SDI connector to an SDI or HDTV monitor
as required, or to the proper video distribution equipment.
11. Aux Destinations — you can configure three types of Aux destinations: Aux
(monitors), ImagePRO Aux and PresentationPRO-II Aux. Refer to Appendix D,
“
Working With Destinations” on page 367 for interconnection details.
12. Power Connection — connect AC power cords to the AC Power Connectors on
the rear of each Processor and Controller, and then to AC outlets. Connect AC
Power cords (or AC adapters) to all peripheral equipment. Please note:
~ Connect each unit only to a properly rated supply circuit.
~ Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Note
This output will only work if the selected output resolution is a
valid SDI or HD/SDI format.
