All input signals processed by the Cine-IPM 2K are routed to the identical DVI
outputs located on the rear panel of the unit. Connect
the CP2000 (cable provided). If desired, connect an additional display device such as
a digital monitor using
DVI-2
• 8-bit mode for one CP2000 (Figure 2.12A)
• 8-bit mode for CP2000 and a digital monitor (Figure 2.12B)
• 8-bit mode for two CP2000s (Figure 2.12C)
• 8-bit or 10-bit mode for one CP2000 (Figure 2.12D)
Figure 2.12. Connecting for 8-bit vs. 10-bit Use
If desired, such as when you have digital progressive source data, you can output it in
10-bit format for a single CP2000 connected to the Cine-IPM 2K. This is shown in
Figure 2.12D above. Because Cine-IPM 2K's 10-bit output is divided between the
two DVI ports, with
DVI-1
remaining least-significant 2 bits, 10-bit mode requires both outputs connected to the
corresponding CP2000
Selecting 8-bit or 10-bit Mode
With the Figure 2.12D configuration, you can use either 8-bit or 10-bit Cine-IPM 2K
mode for all sources. Make sure to set this mode (a.k.a. "Data Format") in 2 places:
. Shown are 4 typical applications for the Cine-IPM 2K:
handling the most-significant 8 bits and
ports.
