PK==fåëí~ää~íáçå få=qÜáë=`Ü~éíÉê This chapter provides detailed instructions for installing the BlendPRO-II hardware.
3. Installation Safety Precautions p~ÑÉíó=mêÉÅ~ìíáçåë= For all BlendPRO-II installation procedures, observe the following important safety and handling rules to avoid damage to yourself and the equipment: • To protect users from electric shock, ensure that the power supplies for each unit connect to earth via the ground wire provided in the AC power Cord. • The AC Socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and be easily accessible.
3. Installation Rack-Mount Installation o~ÅâJjçìåí=fåëí~ää~íáçå BlendPRO-II units are designed to be rack mounted and are supplied with front rack-mount hardware. Please note the following important points: • Rear rack-mount brackets are available as a kit, and are recommended for use when units are mounted in transit cases. • When rack mounting the unit, remember that the maximum ambient operating temperature for the unit is 40 degrees C.
3. Installation Power Installation mçïÉê=`çêÇLiáåÉ=sçäí~ÖÉ=pÉäÉÅíáçå BlendPRO-II is rated to operate with the following supplies: • • Input Power: 100-240 VAC, 47-63 Hz Power Consumption: 80 watts maximum BlendPRO-II performs line voltage selection automatically, and no user controls are required. The AC power cords must be accessible so that they can be removed during field servicing.
3. Installation Signal Installation páÖå~ä=fåëí~ää~íáçå The figure below illustrates a sample BlendPRO-II system, which uses the maximum four ScreenPRO-II units. Use this figure for reference during the signal installation process. If required, refer to the “BlendPRO-II Rear Panel” section on page 17 in Chapter 2 for details on all rear panel connectors.
3. Installation Signal Installation without IP connections to the outside world. Use standard Ethernet cables in conjunction with an Ethernet switch. 3. Connect a DVI output from each ScreenPRO-II unit (up to the maximum of 4) to the DVI inputs on BlendPRO-II. 4. Connect the DVI or analog outputs from BlendPRO-II to the inputs of your selected projectors (up to the maximum of 4).
3. Installation Signal Installation c. (If your system includes three ScreenPRO-IIs) — Connect the second ScreenPRO-II’s GENLOCK LOOP connector to the GENLOCK IN connector on the ScreenPRO-II with the next highest numbered ID. d. (If your system includes four ScreenPRO-IIs) — Connect the third ScreenPRO-II’s GENLOCK LOOP connector to the GENLOCK IN connector on the ScreenPRO-II unit with the highest numbered ID. e.
3. Installation Format Connection Table cçêã~í=`çååÉÅíáçå=q~ÄäÉ Use the following table to connect BlendPRO-II’s analog RGB output to various analog projector inputs (3 wire, 4 wire and 5 wire). Using a customer supplied VGA to 5 x BNC breakout cable, multiple combinations are possible. Cells with checks denote the connections required for the indicated format. Note For RGB with H and V sync, use the VGA connector directly. Table 3-2.
