    Power cables used between SLite tiles To meet the demands of each SLite application Barco offers several lengths of power cables to link power from tile to tile. Note that the power output port of the last tile in the power chain has to be sealed with a dummy power plug.
  • Page 19 Data cables used between SLite tiles To meet the demands of each SLite application Barco offers several lengths of data cables to link data from tile to tile. Note that the data output port of the last SLite tile in the data chain has to be sealed with a dummy data plug.

  • Page 20: Power Boxes

    3. Components of a fixed SLite display Power boxes General Depending on the size of the MiPIX display system, the power system has to be adapted. Therefore several sizes of power boxes are available. For small and medium size MiPIX display systems the “Mono Phase Power Box” is used. For larger MiPIX display systems there is a range of “Custom Power Boxes”.

  • Page 21: Digitizer

    3. Components of a fixed SLite display Digitizer General The digitizer processes (image processing, conversion and conditioning) all source signals for digital distribution to every tile. The digitizer may be accessed directly or via the control software (e.g. Director toolset). This software is designed as a user interface to be used in conjunction with the digitizer and display, this can be used when connected to the digitizer through a serial RS232 connection.

  • Page 22: Fiberlink System

    The data signal coming out of the digitizer is transported from the digitizer to the display by a high-speed data link. To send such a high density stream of data over long distances, a fiber optic cable is required. Barco offers a complete system: a transmitter, a cable and a receiver.

  • Page 23: Control Software

    The control software is designed as a graphic user interface (GUI) and can be used to control and configure the digitizer as well as the Barco LED wall via a PC (e.g. Director toolset). For more information refer to the manual of the control software.

    Outdoor plugs and sockets for SLite tiles Barco uses special designed outdoor sockets for power and data connections from tile to tile and to other peripherals. These rugged sockets are watertight (IP65) when used with the appropriate plugs and sealing rings. Each socket is equipped with a plug holder clamp which, when locked, ensures the plug is completely pressed into the socket.
