9.6.13 Multi-Unit Configuration

This address need only be changed if two or more Vi400/Vi600s are linked in order to be

controlled from one remote keyboard.

In this case, give each Vi400/Vi600 a different unit address: 2, 3, 4 etc. The first unit in the

chain should be "Master".

Specify here how many units are being linked. Note that when units are linked, the clocks

are all synchronised by the Master unit. Camera selection of the Master unit is achieved by

entering 1 to 16 on an optional Vi-K1 keyboard. Cameras on unit2 are selected by entering

cameras 17 to 32 on the keyboard, and so on for all units. The built-in keypad always

controls the local unit only.

To physically connect up multiple units into a chain you have to connect the master unit by

an RJ45 patch lead from the EXP1 port on rear of unit to the KBD port 1 onto the slave unit.

This will connect the two units and relay both of their main image outputs to the monitor

through the master.

To connect up a second slave unit you must connect an RJ45 patch lead from the EXP 1

port on the first slave (unit 2) to the KBD 1 port on rear of slave two unit (unit 3) and so on

up to a maximum of 6 units.

To connect multiple units spot outputs you have to use an RJ45 patch lead from the EXP

port 2 on the master unit to the KBD port 2 on the slave and repeat for however many units

you have in the chain.
