Broadcast Pix Slate 3000 Installation Planning Guide - October 2008
Page
In some installations the standard monitor card will be sufficient, but in some Slate 3000 installations you
will want to have more screen space to view your sources. The quad monitor card option upgrades the
dual-headed card to a quad-headed card in the same PCI slot. The benefits of having up to four monitor
outputs is the ability to spread out sources for specific users. For example, one screen could be used for
a technical director, one for a graphics operator and one or two for producers. The flexibility gained with
this option gives an endless amount of opportunities for producers and directors to create custom layouts
based on their show needs.
If a DVI I/O card is installed, do not confuse the quad-card Multi-View output with the DVI I/O card as
they use the same DMS-59 type connector. The four monitor outputs are connected through a dual
DMS-59 connection, as shown below, and use breakout cables to a dual DVI-D or VGA connectors. The
top DMS connector is monitor output 1 and 3 and the bottom DMS connector is monitor output 2 and 4.
