Installation
 Use the following steps to install a wide screen Encore configuration:
1. Follow the unpacking procedures as listed in the “Unpacking and Inspection”
section on page 52.
2. In Appendix A, refer to the “Physical and Electrical Specifications” section on
page 344 for electrical and mechanical details.
3. In Chapter 2, refer to the “Video Processor Rear Panel” section on page 41 and
the “
Controller Rear Panels” section on page 49 for all connector locations.
4. For each Processor, follow the rack mount procedures as outlined in the “Rack-
Mount Installation” section on page 52.
5. Ethernet Connections — a totally “local” network connection is recommended,
without IP connections to the outside world. Using Ethernet cables:
a. Connect the Processors and Controller to the Ethernet Switch.
b. Connect router(s) to the Switch.
c. As required, connect ScreenPRO-II, PresentationPRO-II and ImagePRO
systems to the Switch.
6. Direct Source Connections — if you elect to use direct connections, in place of
(or in addition to) router connections:
a. As an important prerequisite, complete your “Connection Charts” on
page 80 to streamline the source installation procedure.
b. Connect the desired “direct” sources to each M/E’s input connectors on
each Processor. In a wide screen system, scaled sources only connect
to Processor 1. The “links” carry the signals to the other Processors.
c. Unscaled Backgrounds must originate from computers with multi-head
graphics cards, and connect to the same input on each Processor.
S To connect an unscaled background source in a triple Processor
system (each Processor with three M/Es):
• Connect the computer’s “head 1” to Processor 1, input 3A
• Connect the computer’s “head 2” to Processor 2, input 3A
