A configuration that uses O
MNI
B
US
devices is referred to as “OmniBus configuration” from now on in
this document. It combines one P
ROCESSOR
with up to four or five O
MNI
B
US
A12 or O
MNI
B
US
A18 devices. The
P
ROCESSOR
is running the operating system and applications and controls the O
MNI
B
US
devices where the graphical
desktop is generated and integrated with the video and RGB insertion data.
Medium sized systems can be set up with a
P
ROCESSOR
and one single O
MNI
B
US
. For larger display walls with multi-
ple video or RGB sources the system can easily be expanded with up to five O
MNI
B
US
devices.

Processor configuration
Small systems with one up to 24 projection cubes can be set up with a single P
ROCESSOR
. Depending on the
amount of video and RGB sources an additional E
XTENDER
might be used; this setup is called “Processor configura-
tion”.
