For complete details on all installation, setup, configuration and operations procedures, please refer to
the DX-700 User’s Guide.
DX-700 supports a wide number of system configurations. Input and output modules are installed in
“banks,” consisting of one (or more) input modules, and either one or two output modules (with two
being the maximum allowed in a bank). By definition, a “bank” is a way of combining inputs and
outputs into independent video processors that are capable of driving one (or more) LED walls.
Please remember the following important “module” configuration rules.
In the most basic of DX-700 “single bank” configurations, you must have at least one input
module and one output module — to route video to an LED wall.
1
As you face the rear of the chassis, the right-most module in the Input/Output Section must
always be an Output Module. It must always be right-justified against the System Module.
2
Input / Output Section
Input / Output Section
Within any bank, all modules must be adjacent to each other, with no blank panels
in-between, and all Output Module(s) are always right-justified.

In multi-bank configurations, all banks must be directly adjacent to one another, with no
blank panels in between.

IMPORTANT
With the exception of “spare” modules, if the DX-700 determines that any
modules are incorrectly installed (or missing), a
Startup Diagnostic Menu
appears which prompts you to power down and re-configure your modules.
If the above prompt occurs, and provided that a System Module is properly
installed, on the
Startup Diagnostic Menu
you can press the
DX-700
Management
button, and access a subset of management functions.
The DX-700 will not recognize modules that are installed to the left of a blank
panel. They will be treated as spares.
Slots that do not contain modules must always have blank panels installed.
Configure a bank according to the rules
outlined in the “DX-700 Module
Configuration Rules” section.
1
Install a blank panel immediately to the
left of the bank’s left-most input
module.
2
In the remaining slots, insert spare
modules. These are ignored and
treated as spares.
3
Use the following table to connect various source formats to the DX-700, using the system’s
Component input (3 x BNC) on the Input Module.
