ScreenPRO-II Controller • User’s Guide 75
3. Hardware Installation
System Installation
• If digital DAs are utilized (recommended), connect digital source
outputs to DA inputs, and DA outputs to the desired digital
inputs on each ScreenPRO-II.
c. For widescreen backgrounds and DSK sources, connect your
computers’ DVI outputs (typically from multi-head graphics cards) to the
BG/DSK in A and BG/DSK in B inputs on each ScreenPRO-II.
d. For single screen backgrounds and DSK sources, connect your
computers’ DVI outputs (typically from DAs or splitters) to the
BG/DSK in
A
and BG/DSK in B inputs on each ScreenPRO-II.
9. Output Connections
a. One Analog Preview Output is provided on each ScreenPRO-II.
Connect this output to the input of each analog Preview Monitor, as
required per your configuration.
b. Three Program Outputs are provided on each ScreenPRO-II: one
digital and two analog. For each chassis (for single screen applications),
use these outputs to connect your Program Monitor(s) and your
projector(s). For example:
S Connect the Digital Program Output to the input of your projector.
S Connect Analog Program Output 1 to the input of your main
program monitor.
S Connect Analog Program Output 2 to an auxiliary or spare
program monitor.
10. BlendPRO-II Input/Output Connections — for widescreen applications,
BlendPRO-II requires the following connections:
a. Connect the Digital Program Output on each ScreenPRO-II to the
desired
DVI Input (1 - 4) on BlendPRO-II.
b. Per your system configuration, connect DVI Outputs (1 - 4) on
BlendPRO-II to the DVI inputs on your projectors, or connect
Analog
Outputs
(1 - 4) on BlendPRO-II to the analog inputs on your projectors.
11. Genlock Connections
For single screen applications, genlock connections are optional:
a. If you will be using synchronous camera sources in your production, use
a BNC cable to connect a PAL or NTSC black burst (or a composite
sync) signal to the
Genlock In connector on each ScreenPRO-II.
b. If desired, you can loop reference video from one ScreenPRO-II chassis
to another by connecting a BNC cable from the
Genlock Loop
connector to the next ScreenPRO-II’s Genlock In connector (or to other
video devices in the chain).
c. If a particular ScreenPRO-II is the last device in a reference video chain,
do not make any connections to the
Genlock Loop connector. Refer to
the “
ScreenPRO-II Genlock Termination” section on page 76 for
details.
Important
For wide screen applications that use BlendPRO-II, specific
“
Widescreen Lock” connections are mandatory. Refer to the
“
BlendPRO-II Widescreen Lock Connections” section on
page 77 for instructions.
