Hardware Connections; Mounting The Server - High End Systems AXON User Manual

Hardware Connections

The Axon back panel provides ports for:
• 5-pin DMX Data In and Data Out (see Setting up a Standard DMX Link on page 8 for more
information)
• Ethernet to connect to other Axon and DL.2 units and your computer running the Content
Management Application (CMA) software on a fixture link (see Using an Ethernet Link on page
8).
• Four USB ports for connecting peripheral hard drives, flash drives, keyboard or mouse.
• Two DVI outputs on graphics card for connecting a monitor for startup and an output display
device (another monitor, a Digital light, or a projector). Use DVI to VGA adaptors that
shipped with your Axon unit.
• S-video connector for live video input, and accessing the feed in the graphics engine.
Power
Note: To initialize the graphic card ports, both DVI ports must have devices
connected when starting the media server. When only one port is
connected, it defaults to display the graphics engine output and will not
display the CMA screen.

Mounting the Server

The Axon media server mounts in any standard 3U rack.
