Connecting the Stage Output
The stage output should be connected to one of the outputs ports on the front of Dual I/O module. This will vary
depending on the type of output device. (Refer back to
"Dual I/O Module" on page 8.)
Guidelines:
+ Adapters or converters may be required to convert these outputs to specific needs.
+ All DVI connectors on the Dual I/O module are DVI-D (digital only). There is no analog signal present on these
connectors, therefore, a DVI-to-VGA adapter will not work.
Networking Multiple Mbox Extreme Servers
The Mbox Extreme Mac computer has two standard Ethernet ports on its rear panel. The first Ethernet port is pre-
connected to the two Ethernet ports on the front of the Dual I/O module, and is dedicated to Art-Net reception.
Therefore, this port on the Mac computer and the two ports on the front of the I/O module should NOT be used for
any other purpose.
To network multiple Mbox Extreme servers together for the purpose of content distribution or remote monitoring, use
the Ethernet port located on the Auxiliary Input panel at the rear of the rack (Figure 2-5). The Mac computer’s two
Ethernet ports have preset addressing for this purpose and their settings should not be modified, as changing these
settings may lead to a loss of functionality. Some exceptions may apply in the case of pixel mapping. (Refer to the
Mbox Remote User manual for more information about the pixel mapping features.)

* The Auxiliary Panel v3.5 only provides SDI (SD/HD) connections. (Refer to "Auxiliary Input Panel" on page 10 .)
The network port is configured in the Mbox Setup tab. Refer to "Setup: Network" on page 61.
