Installation
For this procedure, you will need:
 Use the following steps to install a single screen “stack” 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:

page 80 to streamline your source installation procedure.

Important
It is recommended that each stack consists of two “fully
loaded” Processors, each with three M/Es. If necessary, you
can use a mis-matched configuration (e.g., two M/Es in the
bottom stack, three in the top), but the top stack
must always
have three M/Es installed. In this way, your stacked set will
never have anything less than four M/Es available.
