Barco Event Master E2 Lite User Manual page 114

EM GUI orientation
After linking chassis, a few menus provide the option of changing between which unit controls you
are viewing.
From the Menu bar at the top of all pages, you can select which processor's details you are viewing,
by selecting that processor from the pull down menu.
There is no relationship between Unit ID and Master or Slave selection. Either unit can be Master or
Slave in a linked configuration. The only real significance—but totally transparent to users—is the
Event Master Toolset communicates only with the Master unit. The Master unit establishes its own
connection and handles all communications with the Slave.
How to Link Two E2 Lite Units
E2 Lite video processors do not come equipped with expansion link cards or cables. Expansion link cards and
cables must be purchased separately and installed in slots 1 and 2 of each E2 Lite unit that is to be linked.
Expansion Link cards are identified by a yellow stripe at the top. Make sure to use the locking mechanism and
then push each cable until it locks in place.
Connect the Link cables between the Expansion Link connectors on each E2 Lite unit as follows:
• VP ID 0, Link Card slot 1, Link 1 >> VP ID 1, Link Card slot 1, Link 2 [1]
• VP ID 0, Link Card slot 1, Link 2 >> VP ID 1, Link Card slot 1, Link 1 [2]
• VP ID 0, Link Card slot 2, Link 1 >> VP ID 1, Link Card slot 2, Link 2 [3]
• VP ID 0, Link Card slot 2, Link 2 >> VP ID 1, Link Card slot 2, Link 1 [4]
See Image 6-28 for an example of the cabling between two E2 Lite units.
