9.6.13 Multi-Unit Configuration
9.6.13.1 Unit Number
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”.
9.6.13.2 Number of Linked unit
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.
9.6.13.3 Connection of multiple units
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.
