VPx Overview
smс=lоЙкобЙп
The following topics are discussed in this section:
• Introduction to VPx
• Input Flexibility
• Scaling and Keying
• Output Flexibility
fенкзЗмЕнбзе=нз=smс
The Encore Video Processor is a compact chassis that provides Encore’s input and output
circuitry. Two models are available:
• The “standard” Video Processor (VP) is a full-featured unit that includes all input,
output, genlock and link circuitry.
• The VPx is an economical VP with a reduced set of inputs (DVI only). The VPx is
ideal for widescreen configurations, and for special widescreen “preview”
configurations. VPx includes all output and link circuitry, but no genlock circuitry,
and only a small subset of the standard VP’s input circuitry.
• In a widescreen configuration, a VPx cannot function in a standalone manner, but
must always work downstream of a standard VP. Here, a VPx cannot be the first
processor in an Encore configuration.
• In the special widescreen “preview” configuration, a VPx can be used as a
standalone destination that accepts DVI input signals only — but no other input
types are accepted, and no genlock circuitry is provided.
Both units provide a 3RU rack-mount chassis that can be configured with one, two or three
M/E (mixer) boards. One or two M/E systems can be upgraded with additional M/E boards.

of this connector’s analog component.
b) Source Link Out
One DVI connector is provided for the M/E’s Source Link Output. For wide
screen and multi-screen applications, this connector loops your inputs to the next
VP or VPx in the chain. Because all analog and digital inputs reside in the digital
domain, each “link” output loops those inputs to the next Processor’s scalers.
An M/E’s Source Link Output must always be connected to its associated M/E
Source Link Input on the next chassis, and never cross-routed.
Please note:
~ In a multi-chassis configuration, the link can extend to all chassis.
~ In all cases, the looped inputs are “pre-scaler.”

jLb=`зееЙЕнзк=mкбзкбну
Depending on your VP or VPx configuration, the M/E connectors on the rear of the chassis
do not necessarily relate 1:1 to the layer buttons in the Controller’s Layer Control Section.
Please note:
• The Controller’s layer buttons are arranged left-to-right in order of visual priority,
from the lowest (Mixer 1) to the highest (Mixer 3).
• The M/E boards are arranged in order of electronic priority, from the lowest (M/E
3) to the highest (M/E 1).
• Electronic priority does not equate 1:1 to visual priority, with regard to the silk-
screened labels on the Controller.
With this in mind, the information below lists how the physical connectors relate to the
various mixers on different VP and VPx configurations. Keep this correlation in mind when
you are making rear-panel connections.
• In a 3 M/E system:
~ M/E 1 connectors are the highest priority. They appear as Mixer 3 on
the Controller. The DSK will be connected to the M/E 1 board.
~ M/E 2 connectors have middle priority. They appear as Mixer 2.
~ M/E 3 connectors are the lowest priority. They appear as Mixer 1.
Background sources will be connected to the M/E 3 board.
• In a 2 M/E system:
~ M/E 1 connectors are the highest priority, and appear as Mixer 2. The
DSK will be connected to the M/E 1 board.
~ M/E 2 connectors are the lowest priority, and appear as Mixer 1.
Background sources will be connected to the M/E 2 board.
~ M/E 3 connectors are not installed.
Encore VPx Installation Guide • 08-0311105-00 Rev 00 13
bеЕзкЙ=smс=fелн~дд~нбзе=dмбЗЙ
VPx Hardware
• In a 1 M/E system:
~ M/E 1 connector priorities are relative to the connectors being used:
This leaves the other connectors to fall in between Background and
DSK. The rule stating that “A” connectors are lower in priority than “B”
connectors still holds.
~ M/E 2 and 3 connectors are not installed.
jLb=fåéìí=kçíÉë
Please note the following important points regarding M/E inputs:
• Single Processor Configurations — In the special widescreen “preview”
configuration, a VPx can be used as a standalone destination that accepts DVI
input signals only.
• Multiple Processor Configurations — In these configurations, you only need to
connect inputs to the first VP. Inputs are automatically looped to all other VP and
VPx units via the Source Link connections.
• DVI-I Connectors — There are two DVI-I connectors for each M/E (A and B), and
each contains a digital and an analog input. Depending upon your application,
you can use the input for a scaled or an unscaled source:
~ The “digital” side accepts connections from a standard DVI output or
digital graphic router. This side can be used as both a scaled input
source or as an unscaled Background / DSK source.
~ Using a breakout cable, the “analog” side accepts analog connections.
This side is designed for inputting the system’s unscaled sources —
Background and DSK.
•The DVI Input A or Analog Input A connector could be set up
as a Background input (lowest priority).
•The DVI Input B or Analog Input B connector could be setup
as a DSK input (highest priority).
• The lowest priority M/E in your system must be used for
inputting the Background source.
• The highest priority M/E in your system must be used for
inputting the DSK source.
mкзЦк~г=lмнймн=kзнЙл
Please note the following important points regarding the Processor’s program outputs:
• HD/SDI Outputs — For the HD/SDI output, you can set the output to be SDI
(SMPTE 259M-C, NTSC or PAL) or HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M, HDTV). When you
set this output resolutions, all output connectors will outp ut that same resolutio n.
• DVI Program Outputs — DVI Program outputs are digital only . They do not have
analog connections.
• Program 1 Outputs — Edge feathering and data doubling are present on all
Program 1 Outputs, provided that those features are enabled in the system’s
Output Menu.

5. For each VPx, follow the rack mount procedu res as outline d in the “Rack-Mount
Installation” section on page 15.
6. Ethernet Connections — a totally “local” network connection is recommended.
Connect the VP(s), VPx(s) and Controller to the Switch.
7. Direct Source Connections — if you elect to use direct connections, in place of
(or in addition to) router connections:
a. Connect the desired “direct” sources to each M/E’s input connectors on
each VPx. In a wide screen system, scaled sources only connect to
Processor 1. “Links” carry the signals to the other VPx units.
b. Unscaled Backgrounds must originate from computers with multi-head
graphics cards, and connect to the same input on each VPx.
S To connect an unscaled background source in a triple processor
system (each VPx with three M/Es):
• Connect the computer’s “head 1” to processor 1, input 3A

• Connect the computer’s “head 2” to processor 2, input 3A
• Connect the computer’s “head 3” to processor 3, input 3A
Note
c. The DSK source may originate from a computer with a multi-head
graphics card, but it is not a requirement.
To use a multi-head graphics card for the DSK, connect it to the same
input on each VPx — to the highest priority M/E (M/E 1).
Input 3A resides on the lowest priority M/E in a 3 M/E system.
To connect a second background, use input 3B.
S To connect an unscaled DSK source in a triple processor system
(each processor with three M/Es):
• Connect the computer’s “head 1” to processor 1, input 1A
• Connect the computer’s “head 2” to processor 2, input 1A
• Connect the computer’s “head 3” to processor 3, input 1A

Use the following steps to install a wide screen “stack” configuration:
Important
It is recommended that each stack consists of two “fully
loaded” processors, each with three M/Es. If necessary, you
can use a mis-matched configuration (e.g., two M/Es in the
bottom stack, three in the top), but the top stack must always
have three M/Es installed. In this way, your stacked set will
never have anything less than four M/Es available.
1. Software Version — Prior to connecting your VPx processor(s), ensure that
software version 1.22 (or higher) is installed in your Encore Controller. Refer to
Appendix C, “Upgrading Software” in the Encore Presentation System User’s
Guide for complete upgrade instructions.
2. Follow the unpacking procedures as listed in the “Unpacking and Inspection
”
section on page 15.
3. Refer to the “Technical Specifications” section on page 28 for electrical and
mechanical details.
4. Refer to the “VPx Hardware
” section on page 8 for all connector locations.
5. For each VPx, follow the rack mount procedu res as outline d in the “Rack-Mount
Installation” section on page 15.
Important
Remember that master units (ID#1 and ID#2) must be VP , not
VPx. “Slave” units can be VP or VPx.

6. Ethernet Connections — a totally “local” network connection is recommended.
Connect the VP(s), VPx(s) and Controller to the Switch.
7. Direct Source Connections — if you elect to use direct connections, in place of
(or in addition to) router connections:
a. Connect “direct” sources to each M/E’s input connectors on each stack.
Note that in a wide screen stack system, scaled sources only connect to
stack #1. The “link” connections carry the signals to the other stacks:
• On stack #1 only, connect “direct” sources 1 - 6 to each M/E’s
input connectors on the “bottom stack” processor.
• On stack #1 only, connect “direct” sources 7 - 12 to each M/E’s
input connectors on the “top stack” processor.
b. Unscaled Backgrounds must originate from computers with multi-head
graphics cards, and connect to the same input on each “bottom stack”
processor.
S To connect an unscaled background source in a double widescreen
stack system (each processor with three M/Es):
• On the first stack, connect the computer’s “head 1” to the
bottom stack processor, input 3A
• On the second stack, connect the computer’s “head 2” to the
bottom stack processor, input 3A
Note
c. The DSK source may originate from a computer with a multi-head
graphics card, but it is not a requirement.
Input 3A resides on the lowest priority M/E in a 3 M/E system.
To connect a second background source, use input 3B on
both stacks.
S Connecting a single-head graphics card to processor 4 only would
enable a bug to be placed only in that screen space.
Note
If you elect to use a multi-head graphics card for the DSK, ensure that
you connect to the same input on each processor — to the highest
priority M/E.
The DSK Setup Menu allows you to pick an individual ID
within a widescreen on which to perform DSK setup.
S To connect an unscaled DSK source in a double widescreen stack
system (each processor with three M/Es):
• On the first stack, connect the computer’s “head 1” to the top
stack processor, input 1A
• On the second stack, connect the computer’s “head 2” to the
top stack processor, input 1A
Note
