Installation
„
Use the following steps to install a single 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 the 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 Processor 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 your source installation procedure.
b. Using the information from the chart, connect the desired “direct”
sources to each M/E’s input connectors as required.
c. As required, connect unscaled background and DSK sources, as
provided from a PC’s single head graphics card.
7. D/A Connections —
a. If your system includes analog, SDI or DVI D/As, connect video inputs to
the D/As as required.
b. Connect D/A outputs to the to the desired M/E input connectors.
8. Router Connections — if you elect to use router connections, in place of (or in
addition to) direct connections:
a. For Ethernet controlled routers:
• Ensure that the router(s) are connected to the same Ethernet
Switch as the Controller and Processor.
• Ensure that each router has a unique IP address.
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 Processor(s).
