3.2.12 Distributed system
With the distributed system multiple rendering machines are used, each one consisting of a rendering processor
and one or two O
MNI
B
US
devices. Each rendering processor is connected to the central processor by means of the
A
RGUS
sub-net.
With the distributed system, each rendering machine operates a rectangular array of projection modules within a
display wall. The actual subdivision into arrays depends on the requirements of each display wall (e. g. displaying
video). The following figure shows an example for a 10×5 arrangement:

devices to projection modules
Additional information about the assignment of rendering machines and OmniBus devices to
projection modules can be found in section
6.1.6 Advanced Argus configuration .
The rendering machines are connected to the central processor within a separate sub-net (see also section 3.2.11
Network ). Therefore the central processor is equipped with an additional network card. If also for the LAN connec-
tion an extra network card is used and not the onboard LAN adapter, then the network card with the lower
Ethernet address, respectively the higher PCI slot number connects to the LAN, the card with the higher Ethernet
address, respectively the lower PCI slot number connects to the sub-net.

Example for network cards in the central processor: LAN connection via onboard LAN adapter (left) and via a network card (right)
To connect the rendering processors to the sub-net either the onboard LAN adapters are used or the rendering
processors are equipped with one network card each:
