3. Hardware Installation
Installation
b. Using the information from the chart:
• Connect “direct” sources 1 - 6 to each M/E’s input connectors
on the “
bottom stack ” Processor.
• Connect “direct” sources 7 - 12 to each M/E’s input connectors
on the “
top stack ” Processor.
c. Connect unscaled Background sources to the bottom stack:
• Connect background source 1 to input 3A.
• Connect background source 2 to input 3B.
d. Connect unscaled DSK sources to the top stack:
• Connect DSK source 1 to input 1A.
• Connect DSK source 2 to input 1B.
7. Stack Interconnections —
a. Connect the bottom stack’s DVI Preview Output to the top stack’s
Background 1 input ( 3A ).
b. Connect the bottom stack’s DVI Program Output to the top stack’s
Background 2 input ( 3B ).
8. 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.
9. 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 Processors.
• Ensure that each router has an 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 .
• Using an Ethernet cable, connect the UDS200 to the same
Ethernet Switch as the Controller and Processors.
d. Ensure that all sources are connected to your router(s).
e. Connect all selected router outputs to the desired M/E inputs:
• For PIPs 1 - 6, connect router outputs to the desired M/E inputs
on the “
bottom stack ” Processor.
• For PIPs 7 - 12, connect router outputs to the desired M/E
inputs on the “
top stack ” Processor.
