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 3.4.2 X.11 configuration .
If this section is not existing, the standard assignment, as described in section 3.2.5 Graphic cards 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 channels and projection channels have the same numbering (see section
3.2.5 Graphic cards , 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:
Two O
MNI
B
US
devices are used to display graphic and video on a 4×3 display wall. Thereby some videos shall be
movable on the left part of the wall, others on the right part of the wall.
Each O
MNI
B
US
is equipped with graphic cards, O
MNI
S
CALERS
and input cards. With the standard ordering, the first six
modules would be controlled by the first O
MNI
B
US
(counted line by line, starting in the upper left corner). O
MNI-
B
US
2 would control the remaining six modules in the lower part 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 O
MNI-
B
US
1 are illustrated bright, graphic channels of O
MNI
B
US
2 are illustrated dark.
