Section 1: Introduction
2.2 Installing and Connecting Sources
Depending on site requirements, cinema servers such as digital media storage devices or non-cinema sources
such as PCs either reside outside of the projector, or are rack-mounted directly in the rear of the CP. They must
not interfere with CP operation.
Regardless of their mounting location, sources must connect to one of four ports on the
Communication and
Source Connection Panel located on the underside of the projection head. They are typically connected as part
of projector installation. Once made, these connections are inaccessible from the outside of a locked projector
and can be considered secure and permanent
. Changing or adding a source connection requires access via the
locked CP pedestal.
NOTE:
To maintain radiated emissions compliance, do not connect I/0 cables to the
projector without connecting the source or receiver at the other end .
IF EXTERNAL
Source/server cabling routes through the pedestal toe and up to the underside of the projection head. Limit
cable length to 300 feet or less. Connect power externally or within the projector. See
Figure 2-23 and Figure
2-24 (shown are models with internal outlet for North America, etc.).
NOTE
: The DVI ports shown in Figure
2-24 are single-link ports for single-link cable/connectors only. Connect two independent sources, or connect
the Cine-IPM 2K to both ports for 10-bit processing. Using this pair of ports as a dual-link pair requires a
special adapter (not available).
