As required, ensure that your system interconnection charts are handy. Refer to
the " Connection Charts " section on page 56 for details on completing the charts.
Ethernet Connections — a completely "local" network connection is
recommended, without IP connections to the outside world.
a. Using an Ethernet cable, connect the ScreenPRO-II Controller's
Ethernet port to a Hub or Switch.
b. Connect all ScreenPRO-II units to the Ethernet Hub or Switch.
c. If your system uses BlendPRO-II, connect the BlendPRO-II chassis to
the Ethernet Hub or Switch.
d. Connect all routers (such as MatrixPRO) to the Ethernet Hub or Switch.
Serial Connections — the ScreenPRO-II Controller's serial port is configured as
DCE, 115K baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity bits.
e. For a single serial controlled router, use an RS-232 cable to connect the
router to the ScreenPRO-II Controller's EXT COMM port.
f. To connect two (or more) serial routers, a third-party Ethernet-to-Serial
converter box is required, such as the Lantronix model UDS200 Device
Server ( http://www.lantronix.com/pdf/UDS200_PB.pdf
Lantronix UDS200 can control two serial routers.
• Using RS-232 cables, connect each router to the UDS200 .
• Set up a static IP address on the Lantronix device itself. The
recommended range is 192.168.0.200 - 192.168.0.239 — such
as not to conflict with other devices. Refer to the Lantronix
UDS200 User's Guide for instructions.
• Using an Ethernet cable, connect the UDS200 to the same LAN
that includes the ScreenPRO-II Controller.
Note The ScreenPRO-II Controller supports Lantronix models
UDS100 and UDS200 . In Chapter 4, refer to the "
Setup Menu
about Lantronix setup.
Source Connections
a. If you are using external routing:
• Ensure that all sources are properly connected to your analog
and digital routers.
• Connect analog router outputs to analog inputs 1 and 2 on each
ScreenPRO-II. These are the default analog router inputs.
• Connect digital router outputs to SDI inputs 1 and 2 on each
ScreenPRO-II.
b. If you are using internal routing:
• As required, connect discreet analog source outputs to the
desired analog inputs on each ScreenPRO-II.
• As required, connect discreet digital source outputs to the
desired digital inputs on each ScreenPRO-II.
• If analog DAs are utilized (recommended), connect analog
source outputs to DA inputs, and DA outputs to the desired
analog inputs on each ScreenPRO-II.
