5 Connecting the VP-4x8
This section describes how to:
•
Connect the VP-4x8 rear panel (see Section 5.1 )
•
Connect the VP-4x8 to a controlling device via RS-232 (see Section 5.2 ),
RS-485 (see Section 5.3 ) and/or the Ethernet (see Section 5.4 )
•
Set the DIP-switches (see Section 5.5 )
•
Connect several VP-4x8 machines (see Section 5.6 )
Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your
VP-4x8. After connecting your VP-4x8, connect its power and then
switch on the power to each device.
5.1 Connecting the VP-4x8 Rear Panel
To connect the VP-4x8 as shown in Figure 4 , do the following:
1. Connect up to 4 VGA/UXGA computer graphics sources to the INPUT
connectors.
Not all inputs need to be connected.
2. Connect up to 4 VGA/UXGA output acceptors to the LOOP connectors (local
displays or inputs to another cascaded unit).
3. Connect up to 8 output connectors to the VGA/UXGA video acceptors
(displays or projectors).
When less than eight outputs are required, connect only those outputs of the VP-4x8
that are required, and leave the other outputs unconnected.
4. Set the DIP-switches (see Section 5.5 ).
5. Connect a PC and/or controller (if required) to the RS-232 port (see Section
5.2 ) and/or RS-485 port (see Section 5.3 ).
6. Connect the power cord (not shown in Figure 4 ).
We recommend that you use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine.
