cables and distribution
The Marquee player supports various outputs. VGA, HDMI and DVI Cables are supported
distribution methods. Cables prices can vary dramatically. Firefold Industries in Concord, NC
(704 979 7100; www.firefold.com) has very competitive prices and usually will have many
lengths in stock, including the new HDMI 1.4. Rapid run cables are also an excellent option for
ease of quick connect attachments. In all systems with more than 3 monitors and / or runs of
over 100feet, using CAT 5/CAT 6 is recommended.
Minicom is the recommended distribution amplifier of VGA over 100 feet or when 4 or more
monitors are used. They can be expanded to more than eight outputs using an additional
Broadcaster. The DS3000 was tested using short and long receivers. Each receiver has a gain
that can be adjusted once the signal gets to the monitor. These settings will ensure the signal
will be refreshed once the Marquee player completes maintenance daily. This system will
need a higher level of competency of the integrator. Power at each monitor needs to
accommodate the receiver as well.
Troubleshooting
If using straight VGA, DVI or HDMI cable, check connection at source and monitor to verify
signal completion. Look at pins in male end of connector to verify that each is erect and in
position. This should solve most signal transfer problems.
If using distribution amplifier (approved MINICOM, FSR and Altona
devises), refer to troubleshooting guides in product literature.
Enclosed are brochures and tech sheets for approved tested
equipment.
HDMI or "High-Definition Multimedia Interface,” is an uncompressed
digital audio/video format that has become the standard connection
for HDTVs. A "passive" or non-amplified HDMI cable, can achieve
distances of 40 to 50 feet. Beyond this distance, an "active" cable, such as an EQUALIZER or
REPEATER cable should be employed in order to deal with signal loss. All of our HDMI cables
are "high speed" Category 2 cables, and are certified to the industry standards.
A VGA Splitter cable provides a fast and easy way to
simultaneously connect 2 monitors to a Marquee W610 via
the VGA output.
