The power supply requires an input voltage between 200 and 240 volt AC. The distribution interface has 4 output ports to connect a
MiSPHERE string with. The re-sync unit contains the standard Barco LED-wall outdoor connector ports to link the data and power
from tile to tile.
Input/output ports of the MiSPHERE control box
The illustration below shows the different connection ports of the MiSPHERE control box. At the left side of the illustration you can
see the front view of the MiSPHERE control box with the power/data input/output ports used to realize the power and data connec-
tions from control box to control box. At the right side of the illustration below you can see the bottom view of the MiSPHERE control
box with the four power/data output ports where a long interconnection cable can be plugged in leading to the MiSPHEREstring.

Power/data output port number 1 (to the first MiSPHERE string).
2 Power/data output port number 2 (to the second MiSPHERE string).
3 Power/data output port number 3 (to the third MiSPHERE string).
4 Power/data output port number 4 (to the fourth MiSPHERE string).
Each output port can place a dedicated color upon the MiSPHERE string. This makes the identification of the MiSPHERE strings
easier.
• Port 1 : Red
• Port 2 : Green
• Port 3 : Blue
• Port 4 : White
Using an MiSPHERE control box as stand alone re-sync unit
The MiSPHERE control box acts like a stand alone re-sync unit in case no power is applied to the power input socket of the control
box. When you use the MiSPHERE control box as stand alone re-sync unit ensure to place dummy plugs upon the power input and
