  • Page 7: How The Video Scalers Work In The C2N-Dvp4Di

    Crestron C2N-DVP4DI How the Video Scalers Work in the C2N-DVP4DI The C2N-DVP4DI has four built-in video scalers to allow you to have up to four video sources on the screen at one time. The C2N-DVP4DI auto-selects the scaler. The eight video and four SVHS video inputs can use any of the four scalers. The four RGB inputs are dedicated to a specific scaler.

  • Page 8: Operation Modes

    Digital Video Processor Operation Modes There are two modes of operation for the C2N-DVP4DI, master and slave. In the master mode, the C2N-DVP4DI is a standalone device. In the slave mode, the C2N- DVP4DI is either a Cresnet control system.

  • Page 9: Slave Mode

    Crestron C2N-DVP4DI Slave Mode In slave mode, the C2N-DVP4DI operates as either a Cresnet or Ethernet device as part of a 2-Series control system. No program is required within the C2N-DVP4DI when it is operating as a slave. In this simplified example, the C2N-DVP4DI is part of a control system that includes IR, RS-232 serial, and Cresnet devices.

  • Page 10: Minimum Equipment Required For Setup

    CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty. NOTE: The C2N-DVP4DI is supplied with a serial 9-pin mouse. The part number for this mouse is OEMX-A0013-1.

  • Page 12: Rack Mounting

    Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit. (e.g., use of power strips). Two rack “ears” are provided with the C2N-DVP4DI so that the unit can be rack mounted. These ears must be installed prior to mounting. Complete the following procedure to attach ears to the unit.

  • Page 13: Hardware Hookup

    Refer to the following diagram and complete the connections as needed in any order. For additional connection information refer to “Connector Information” in the latest version of the C2N-DVP4DI Reference Guide (Doc. 6177), available from the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
