Combination rules
When extending a system by inserting additional expansion cards into an E
OS
or E
OS
E
XTENDER
or by exchanging a
card with a card of different type, the following rules must be checked to see, if the planned configuration is
possible.
Functional rules
•
In an E
OS
the number of inserted cards must not exceed 6, in an E
OS
E
XTENDER
13 expansion cards.

For best display quality of the video and RGB sources, in addition the following should be considered
•

•
Not more than 6 AGX

may be inserted into the whole E

system.

There are four criteria
V1
,
V2
,
V3
and
M1
. Each of them must be valid, to allow the card to be inserted.
The rule for the criteria
V1
,
V2
and
V3
is the following. For each card there is a factor that must be multiplied by
the amount how often it is inserted in the device (E
OS
or E
OS
E
XTENDER
). The sum may not exceed 100, if the con-
figuration shall be allowed. The calculation for criterion M1 is similar, but finally the sum of all E
OS
and E
OS
E
X-
TENDER
devices of the system my not exceed 100.
