4.2 Architecture Description

4.2.1 Version 1
A PC with DVI output transfers an identical display image to up to four Control Panels. Command signals
can be transferred to the PC via USB from each Control Panel.
4.2.2 Version 2
If two PCs with one DVI output each are used, two different images can be transferred to the Control
Panels. The two images may have different screen resolutions.
4.2.3 Version 3
The two-PC principle also works using a PC with Core Duo technology. If two DVI outputs are used, two
™
different images can be transferred to the Control Panels. The two images may have different screen
resolutions. The two-channel C9900-A185 ADD2 card offers a simple option for installing an additional
DVI output. The card has two external DVI ports and enables direct connection of two DVI/USB Control
Panels to C5102, C6140, C6150, C6240 or C6250 PCs. Via the CU8810-0010, these two DVI outputs
can be branched further to up to four Control Panels.
