Concurrent Multiple Video Outputs
You can access one single channel and thus activate the video outputs of
another or several channels at the same time. That is, when a channel is
selected in the Selection Menu, the other pre-configured channel(s)
automatically output video data to subsequent user stations. This function
is called “Multiple Video” or “Port-Following Switch.” It is especially useful if
you have a multi-channel video server, or intend to set up a TV wall in the
Paragon II system.
Performing this function requires the channel association to be configured
in Paragon Manager. Only the administrator is allowed to set up the
channel association. If the desired association has not been configured,
contact your Paragon II system administrator.
Illustration Example
Four channels (numbers 2, 4, 6 and 7) of Paragon II system are connected
to the same server which has four video ports. The Paragon administrator
has configured these four channels as an association group in Paragon
Manager, and
Channel 4 is set as the “first” channel in the
association setting .
In this example, you use the user station attached to the user port #2 to
access the “first” channel—
Channel 4 . When you do this, channels 2, 6
and 7 will automatically output their video data to user stations subsequent
to your user station, which are 3, 4 and 5.
The user station you operate to activate the Multiple Video function
