Software Version — Prior to connecting your VPx processor(s), ensure that
software version 1.22 (or higher) is installed in your Encore Controller. Refer to
Appendix C, "Upgrading Software" in the Encore Presentation System User's
Guide for complete upgrade instructions.
Follow the unpacking procedures as listed in the
section on page 15.
Refer to the
"Technical

mechanical details.
Refer to the
"VPx
Hardware" section on page 8 for all connector locations.
For each VPx, follow the rack mount procedures as outlined in the
Installation" section on page 15.
Ethernet Connections — a totally "local" network connection is recommended.
Connect the VP(s), VPx(s) and Controller to the Switch.
Direct Source Connections — if you elect to use direct connections, in place of
(or in addition to) router connections:
a.
Connect the desired "direct" sources to each M/E's input connectors on
each VPx. In a wide screen system, scaled sources only connect to
Processor 1. "Links" carry the signals to the other VPx units.
b.
Unscaled Backgrounds must originate from computers with multi-head
graphics cards, and connect to the same input on each VPx.
To connect an unscaled background source in a triple processor
system (each VPx with three M/Es):
•
Connect the computer's "head 1" to processor 1, input 3A
