3. Components of an FLX display system

FLX-HUB
Introduction
The FLX-HUB is the interface between the FLX-60 pixel strings, the FLX-NNI Controller and the DPR-2700 power system. Power
from the DPR-2700 power system and data from the FLX-NNI Controller are brought together on the FLX-HUB for further distribution
to the FLX-60 pixel strings.
The robust housing of the FLX-HUB has an IP66 protection rating which makes the FLX-HUB suitable for outdoor installations. The
FLX-HUB has one data input port (RJ45 socket), eight power/data output ports (one port per pixel string) and one multi pole power
input socket. Eight power circuits, one power circuit per output port, enter the FLX-HUB via this multi pole power input socket. The
power/data output ports are numbered and equipped with a protection cap. The data input port and the power/data output ports
have a diagnostic LED for fast troubleshooting.
The FLX-HUB has an internal test pattern generator which can be activated via the user interface of the FLX-NNI Controller or via
the Director toolset. The Director toolset can be used to updated the software and firmware of the FLX-HUB as well.
Interesting to know is that all the FLX-HUB units contains a backup of the settings (address, gamma curve, board serial number, etc.)
of the connected FLX-NNI Controller unit. Only the first detected FLX-HUB (first used output of the FLX-NNI Controller) contains the
pixel string configuration map of the connected FLX-NNI Controller unit. Take this into account when replacing one of the FLX-HUB
units. Use the Director toolset to send a new 'backup' of the pixels string configuration map to the replaced components.

Mounting accessories of the FLX-HUB
Due to the versatility and creativity of FLX applications the FLX-HUB has to be mount in different environments (indoor, outdoor,
hanging, etc.). For that Barco offers three different mounting brackets for the FLX-HUB:
•
19" rack mounting bracket for dual FLX-HUB.
•
Rental mounting bracket.
•
Fixed mounting bracket (fix install).
The 19" rack mounting bracket for dual FLX-HUB is included in the order package of two FLX-HUB units:
