PAGE 21
NK==fåíêçÇìÅíáçå About the DX-700 Please note: • When using DVI output modules, the maximum output resolution (e.g., 2048 x 1080) is achieved with two DVI output modules. With NNI output modules, only one module is required. • In a dual-bank system, two canvases are available for use — but each bank does not have knowledge of the other bank’s configuration.
PAGE 22
NK==fåíêçÇìÅíáçå About the DX-700 Using one DVI output module (3 outputs), the following sample configurations are possible, without exceeding pixel capacity: • • Example 1: 3 x (600 x 800 pixels) Example 2: 3 x (230 x 2048 pixels) 2048 pixels 1080 pixels Module 1 Output 1 Module 1 Output 2 Module 1 Output 3 600 x 800 600 x 800 600 x 800 1 Module 1, Output 1 230 x 2048 Module 1, Output 3 230 x 2048 1080 pixels 2 Module 1, Output 3 230 x 2048 Figure 1-2.

PAGE 24
NK==fåíêçÇìÅíáçå About the DX-700 råÇÉêëí~åÇáåÖ=_~åâë DX-700 supports a wide number of flexible system configurations. Input and output modules are installed in “banks,” consisting of one or more input modules and either one or two output modules (with two being the maximum allowed in a bank). By definition, a bank is a way of combining inputs and outputs into independent video processors that are capable of driving one or more LED walls.
PAGE 25
NK==fåíêçÇìÅíáçå About the DX-700 ~ All new tiles used: Outputs 1, 2 and 3 (NX-4) Important You cannot mix tile categories within a bank. Thus, the following combination is not allowed: • • • Output Module 1: MiPIX, DLite 7 Output Module 2: NX-4 Remember that output “grouping” is supported within a single bank. This means that each output can be configured to drive a portion of a larger overall display.
PAGE 26
NK==fåíêçÇìÅíáçå About the DX-700 dêçìéáåÖ=lìíéìíë Within a single bank of a DX-700, you can group up to six physical outputs in a bank to form a larger logical output display. This grouping enables you to control an LED display that is larger than can be controlled with a single output. The Display Layout Menu within the Setup Wizard is used to implement grouping, after you have set up two or more outputs in a single bank.
PAGE 27
NK==fåíêçÇìÅíáçå About the DX-700 • For input modules in the first bank, expansion link cables from the Expansion Out DVI ports are connected to the second bank’s DVI inputs. Use Director Toolset to set up cross-bank stacking. Note pí~ÅâáåÖ=~åÇ=sáÇÉç=aÉä~ó An additional benefit of both cross-bank and external stacking is that a system configuration requiring vertical output stacking (in a single bank) can be built without incurring video delay.
PAGE 28
NK==fåíêçÇìÅíáçå About the DX-700 auJTMM=sáÇÉç=mêçÅÉëëáåÖ=aÉä~ó The DX-700 has three video processing delay modes: • Minimum Delay Mode Use this mode when you require the absolute minimum delay, and you are willing to forego some quality. The mode is very good for content that contains low details. Please note: ~ ~ ~ • Delay: 2ms for interlaced sources and 2ms for progressive sources. Image Quality: There is a slight loss in quality compared to the Reduced and Standard delay modes.
PAGE 29
NK==fåíêçÇìÅíáçå About the DX-700 auJTMM=fåéìí=fÇÉåíáÑáÅ~íáçå With digital inputs (DVI or SDI), the DX-700 can accurately identify the source’s format and resolution. Typically, no user adjustments will be required to fully acquire the image. Please note: • DVI inputs are typically RGB; however, some sources can provide DVI in the YCbCr colorspace.

3. Installation Safety Precautions p~ÑÉíó=mêÉÅ~ìíáçåë= For all DX-700 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.
PAGE 63
3. Installation Rack-Mount Installation Please note: • No cables are supplied with input modules. Customers must provide their own DVI-I, RGB, and SDI cables. Some cables (e.g., DVI-I) can be purchased from Barco. Please contact your Barco sales representative for details. o~ÅâJjçìåí=fåëí~ää~íáçå DX-700 units are designed to be rack mounted and are supplied with front rack-mount hardware.

aK==cáÄÉêäáåâ=kkf=fåëí~ää~íáçå Overview lîÉêîáÉï The Fiberlink NNI kit consists of two “transceiver” modules — a Transmitter and a Receiver — joined by a dual-channel fiber optic cable: • The Fiberlink NNI Multi-mode Transmitter module connects to the DX-700 via NNI cable, and also connects to the fiber optic cable. • The Fiberlink NNI Multi-mode Receiver module connects to the fiber optic cable, and connects via NNI cable to NNI LED tiles. Each module includes an NNI cable.
PAGE 207
aK==cáÄÉêäáåâ=kkf=fåëí~ää~íáçå Overview Note • IP stands for Ingress Protection, as defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission. The IP-65 standard represents a dust-tight seal that also protects against ingress from low-pressure water jets against the enclosure. It does not protect against immersion in water. Electronically, the Fiberlink NNI Receiver and Transmitter modules are nearly identical. Each module receives data at one end, and transmits it at the other end.

aK==cáÄÉêäáåâ=kkf=fåëí~ää~íáçå Installation To rectify the error: 1. Remove power to the Fiberlink NNI Receiver by disconnecting its AC line cord. 2. Troubleshoot the tile array, and determine the cause of the power supply problem or the connection-related error — the one that is causing the Fiberlink NNI Receiver to draw excessive current. 3. Once the tile problem has been determined and solved, re-connect power to the Fiberlink NNI Receiver, and note the status of the LEDs.

Using the 8mm mounting holes provided in the unit’s Sun Shield, you can secure the modules with tie wraps or mounting screws as required. Please note: • If you lay the units flat on the ground, do not immerse them in water or allow them to sit in puddles of water.

aK==cáÄÉêäáåâ=kkf=fåëí~ää~íáçå Power Handling 7. Connect one end of the supplied fiber optic cable to the Fiber Optic Connector on the Fiberlink NNI Transmitter. 8. Connect the other end of the supplied fiber optic cable to the Fiber Optic Connector on the Fiberlink NNI Receiver. 9. Connect the supplied NNI cable from the Fiberlink NNI Receiver to the input connector of your NNI LED wall. For a diagram showing the cabling between these units, see “Fiberlink NNI system block diagram” on page 206. 10.
