  • Page 6: About This Manual

    DX Dual Camera Module (Model # AEDX-P10 or AEDX-P11) This guide describes how to install the Equal-i 2S Image Processor and DX Dual Camera Module. It is intended for Pro AV and system integration technicians who have some previous training with Equal-i products.

  • Page 7: Product Overview

    The DX Camera Module is mounted between dual displays at eye level with only a 4mm separation. The Equal-i 2S Image Processor is installed between the DX Camera Module and a videoconferencing codec, running Array’s proprietary image enhancement algorithms on custom hardware to dramatically improve the scene.

    Once the Image Processor has been connected to the codec and powered back on, use the Equal-i Control App to perform digital alignment (if necessary) from the Settings menu. Reference section 7.3.2 in this Guide for further instruction. Be aware that the Horizontal and Vertical pan settings within the app will only apply to the current framing mode.

  • Page 21: Equal-I Control App

    The Equal-i Control App allows installers/integrators to setup/tune the camera and network settings. It also allows end users to be able to put the Equal-i System into and out of Sleep mode, alter the framing of the images that are sent to the remote site, and alter the framing of the images that are received from the remote site.
