2. Connect the cabinet power cable to the main power cable.
If the power cord supplied with your product is not long enough to connect the first display
panel in an array to the Remote Power Supply Rack Shelf module, you must purchase a power
cord of an adequate length. Christie recommends one of the pre-terminated power cables
offered as Christie accessories, or that you create a custom cable using the Christie Main
Power Cable Spool (P/N 154-122106-XX), Connector Kit (P/N 154-125109-XX), and Molex
Crimping Tool (P/N 154-124108-XX). For more information on the Molex Crimping Tool, see the
Molex documentation.
3. Plug the Remote Power Supply Rack Shelf into the building outlets in the wall or the floor.
Connecting to video sources
An LED array requires a controller to display content on the tiles.
1. Connect the data cable from the first tile in the array to the controller.
2. Connect the HDMI or DVI output from the video source (computer or media player) to the
appropriate input port on the controller.
The E600 controller behaves as two independent controllers, displaying 3840 x 2160 pixels at
30 Hz with each virtual controller. The images of both DVI1 and DVI2 input sources can be
displayed on the tiles simultaneously, but the inputs must be configured independently.
DVI1 corresponds to Ethernet ports 1-8, and DVI2 corresponds to Ethernet ports 9-16.
3. Power on the array.
After the controller is connected and powered up, the video content is available as long as the
video source is connected.
Installing the FE600 fiber optic extender
A fiber optic extender increases the available distance between the LED display and the E600
controller.
The FE600 fiber optic extender can only be used with the E600 controller.
The FE600 fiber extender increases the transmission distance by 10 KM. Multiple extenders can be
chained together between the controller and the array to extend the distance even further.
Notice. If not avoided, the following could result in property damage.
•
Do not bend the fiber optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. Sharp bends can damage
the cables and cause transmission problems.
1. Connect the power cord to the FE600 fiber extender.
2. Plug the fiber optic cables from the controller into the fiber extender.
a) Remove the covers from the fiber optic cable ends.
b) Remove the protective plug from the fiber optic ports.
c) Connect one fiber optic cable into the Opt1 port on the controller and the extender.
d) Connect the other fiber optic cable into the Opt2 port on the controller and the extender.
If the fiber optic cables are not plugged into the same port on each device, the LED panels
do not display any content.
e) Connect fiber optic cables into the Opt3 and Opt4 ports on the extenders.
