How to Link an S3-4K Unit and an EX Unit with Two VPU Cards
To add up to eight Single or four Mixing Layers to a system, an S3-4K Unit can be linked to an EX Unit with two
VPU cards. This adds two additional VPUs to the system. Each S3
– 4K has a single Link card in slot 1,
identified by a yellow stripe at the top. Each EX has two Link sockets. Make sure to use the locking
mechanism and then push each cable until it locks in place.
Connect the Link cables provided with each unit between the Link connectors as follows:
• S3 VP ID 0, Link Card slot 1, Link 1 >> EX VP ID 1, Link 2 [1]
• S3 VP ID 0, Link Card slot 1, Link 2 >> EX VP ID 1, Link 1 [2]
See Image 6-56 for an example of the cabling between an S3-4K unit and an EX unit with two VPU cards.
