6. (Optional) At this point it is suggested that you select and name appropriately each unit so that you can identify it in your setup.
Connection Control
From the con fi guration page switch from the detail view to the System view and ensure that the status of all connections is good –
Green. If any connections are shown red please check that the cables were connected as described in step b and they were fully
seated.
Programming
Referring to section "System Setup", page 219, you may now proceed with the con fi guration and programming of the E2 linked
system having full access to all resources from both E2s; a total of 56 inputs, 16 screen outputs, 8 Aux outputs, 4 multiviewer
outputs and up to 32 mixer layers.
Auto Creation
If you choose to auto create your inputs, outputs and MVR outputs they will be created from Unit ID 0 fi rst and then followed by the
ones from Unit ID 1.
Con fi guration Order
You may proceed with de fi ning your destinations, auxes and assign your layers. It is recommended that you setup all screen desti-
nations and make layer assignment before you setup the Multiviewer.
The Multiviewer and Web App sections of the Event Master Toolset have an additional selection. You may
select whether you are viewing the Master or Slave E2 Multiviewer windows or the Master or Slave E2 Web
App. The selection names correspond to the way you named the units in steps above.
Backup and Restore
When backing up and restoring your system you only need to backup and restore from the Master Unit.
Genlock
When genlocking your system to an external sync you only need to bring the signal into the Master unit and select lock to External
from the Event Master Toolset.
A note about Multiviewer and Linked Systems
In an E2 linked setup as you create destinations and assign layers the Event Master Toolset determines the best resource allocation
for your con
fi guration.
In order to make optimal use of expansion links, screens in linked E2 systems must be viewed on the Multiviewer in the E2 where
the Event Master Toolset has allocated it.
Optimal allocation may cause a screen allocation to move from one E2 to another as screen resources are changed.
This may result in a screen already placed in a Multiviewer to not be operative. The Event Master Toolset will change the UMD text
to “Screen not viewable on this MVR”.
All you need to do is delete the screen from the Multiviewer displaying this message and place it on the other Multiviewer.
A note about Backgorunds
Background sources bigger than one unit should still come in to one of the units, not split between unit as in earlier systems.
