Crosspoint-Switch Installation
The Crosspoint-switch feature allows you to route any input video signal to
any output. The unit is first configured to designate the number of video
inputs (+ audio option). If you have 1 video input, the unit is configured as a
1x7 Crosspoint switch; 2 video inputs as a 2x6, etc. As you can see the
RJ45 ports can be configured as either an input or an output. The Dip
switch settings configure the unit as a Crosspoint switch and define the
inputs and outputs. Switching the assigned input to an output is
accomplished using a serial communication program. See the end of this
section for examples. Use care when connecting the CATx or fiber cables
and do not connect an output to another output.
Crosspoint-Switch Installation – 1 x 7
The 1 x 7 configuration allows you to connect one computer to the Orion LC
and display the video on up to 7 DVI monitors.
To configure Orion LC for a 1 input, 7 output Crosspoint switch, set the dip
switches and CATx or fiber cabling as shown below.
The 1 x 7 configuration allows
you to connect 1 computer to the
Orion LC and display the video
(+audio option) on up to 7 DVI
monitors.
To configure Orion LC for a 1
input, 7 output Cross-Point
Switch, set the dip switch 1 ON
and 2-5 OFF and connect the
CATx or fiber cabling as shown.
Connect a DVI MM video cable from
the CPU’s DVI graphic card to the
DVI-In port on the transmitter.
Connect a single CATx or fiber cable
from the transmitter to the Orion LC
port labeled “T”.
Connect up to 7 CATx or fiber
cables from the Orion LC ports
labeled “R” to the receivers.
Connect a DVI monitor to each
receiver’s DVI output
