Marquee ACON Ultra Installation/Operation Guide
1-10 ACON Ultra Camera/Server Installation Instructions
1.4.2 ACON Ultra License Key Installation
AU operation requires that a valid, activated hardware license key be installed on the server. The license key
contains the ACON Ultra options that have been added to the system. If the system has not been shipped with
this key, the following, steps must be followed to install. See Figure 1-9.
a) Install software version 1.0.20051220.1 (or later).
b) Install license key P/N 69890-XX on parallel port LPT1.
c) Tighten two jackscrews to secure.

1.4.3 Uninterruptible Power Supply (VDCDS P/N 81751-01)
The Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is ready to operate. It must be connected to a source of power and to the
server and then turned on. Refer to the User Manual supplied with the UPS for additional information.
1.4.4 System Communication and Camera Video Configuration
The AU systems can accommodate up to 12 projectors using one AU server. Each AU server incorporates 3 RS232
Serial Ports, which is expanded to 6 using the adaptor cable provided, and 12 Camera video inputs. The projector
communication in this example uses 3 of the server 6 serial ports. The first projector in the group is looped to an
additional two projectors. The camera communication is similar to that of the projector configuration, whereas, the
first camera loops to the other two cameras in the group.
Each camera’s video “out” is routed back to the server for processing using the 30 ft. BNC cable supplied. In Figure
1-12 the server video input is 9. The server incorporates a matrix of 3-video cards with each card having up to 4-
channels. The following illustration represents the video input and its’ specific input location. The location of the
video input is a combination of first, the board number, followed by the specific channel number. This makes up the
Video ID. For example, the output from Camera ID 1, Projector 1 is connected to the top left input (Board 1,
Channel1) which is designated as Video ID: 1,1 and the output from Camera ID 9, Projector 9 is connected to the
Board 3, Channel 3 and is designated as Video ID: 3,3. See Figure 1-10 and Figure 1-12.
