Linking MCM-400 HFR devices in a multi-channel system

Description
It is possible to perform some alignment steps in multiple channel display systems in a semi-automatic way by linking multiple MCM-
400 HFR devices. In this case, all MCM-400 HFR devices of the display system must be linked through Ethernet and one of them
must be assigned to be the Master.
The Linked Devices dialog box of the MCM-400 HFR allows to link up to 50 (Slave) MCM-400 HFR devices to a single Master. The
way to link MCM-400 HFR devices is as follows:
• Make sure non of the Slave MCM-400 HFR devices is assigned as Master;
• Assign the Master MCM-400 HFR as being the Master;
• In the Master MCM-400 HFR, define all Slave MCM-400 HFR devices (IP address or Host name);
• Decide for which Slave MCM-400 HFR devices the linking must be activated and what features need to be linked.
During alignment, one can now choose to match the colors of all projectors or monitors by simply clicking one of the Dynacolor
buttons. This assumes however that colors have been accurately measured and defined in the MCM-400 HFR for each channel of
the display system. This can only be done by a Barco trained and qualified technician.
Setting an MCM-400 HFR to be Master
1. In the OSD of the MCM-400 HFR to be Master, navigate to Installation > Linked devices... and press ENTER to select.
