channels
This section starts with the keyword
channels
and defines the assignment of graphic channels to projection
channels. This section must not to be changed manually but by aid of the script
EOSconfig
(channel reordering),
see section
If this section is not existing, the standard assignment, as described in section
is effective.
The graphic channel (physical channel) is defined by the order of the graphic card and the port number. The
number of the projection channel indicates the place where the data has to be displayed (logical channel). Usu-
ally graphic channel and projection channel have the same numbering (see section
, please).
Anyhow depending on the configuration it might be useful to reorder the graphic channels and to connect the
projection modules with the respective ports of the graphic cards. The following example should point up the
operating:
An E
OS
together with an E
OS
E
XTENDER
is used to display graphic and video on a 4×2 display wall. Thereby some
videos shall be movable on the left part of the wall, others on the right part of the wall.
The two segments of the E
OS
E
XTENDER
are each equipped with O
MNI
S
CALERS
and input cards. With the standard
ordering, the first four modules would be controlled by the cards in segment 1 (counted line by line, starting in
the upper left corner). The cards in segment 2 would control the remaining four modules in the lower row of the
wall. The video windows could only be displayed in one of these areas. The figure below shows the standard
ordering. The graphic channels of segment
1 are illustrated bright, graphic channels of segment
2 are illustrated
dark.
