    3. Cascading Cascading is the technique of “daisy-chaining” multiple Titan 9000s through an HDMI display and a digital control backbone. This connection allows the combined Titan 9000s to operate as a single integrated system. Up to 10 different Titan 9000s can be combined in this fashion to create extremely large and complex systems with the ability to simultaneously monitor audio, video, and computer signals on the same display.
