Connecting (Cabling) Each F2
F2 User Manual Rev. 1
Signal Chain Rectangles
When panels are assembled together to output video from a VIP Drive 43Nova 2 or a VIP Drive 83R Nova,
they form horizontal rows and vertical columns in rectangular arrangements.
Each port of one of the above mentioned VIP Drive products can connect to 11 F2 panels. If more than 11
panels are used, more than 1 output port from the VIP Drive will be required.
Pixels for each port are calculated as whole rectangles. Even if all panels within a rectangle are not
connected to a port, the total panels in the rectangle must be within the limits of the port (less than 11).
Connecting panels to a single port in an arrangement which creates a rectangle larger than 11 panels will
cause errors and problems, even if only 11 panels are actually connected to that port.
Of the following examples, only those where both of the following are true can work:
•
The number of panels connected to each port is equal to or less than 11.
•
The panels connected to each port individually form a rectangle which includes 11 panels or fewer.
