About the BlendPRO-II

^Äçìí=íÜÉ=_äÉåÇmolJff

The BlendPRO-II is a “presentation” system component that allows standard high­resolution images (as generated by multiple ScreenPro-II units) to be displayed in a multi­projector widescreen format. The system completely eliminates the need to “pre-overlap”
source material during the content creation phase of your presentation.

BlendPRO-II receives signals from up to four ScreenPro-II units (via high-resolution DVI
connections) and processes the video for display in multi-projector widescreen format.
Processing includes:

• Data doubling to generate overlapped projected regions.

• Edge-feathering of the overlapped images.

The amount of data overlap and edge-feathering parameters are user-programmable.
BlendPRO-II supports simultaneous digital and analog output signals to separate DVI and
HD-15 connectors. Refer to the “Connectivity Diagram” section on page 14 for an
illustration of a typical BlendPRO-II application.

In order to synchronize the ScreenPRO-II units for use in a widescreen projection
application (in conjunction with the ScreenPRO-II Controller), BlendPRO-II provides a
Widescreen Lock output which is used to lock each ScreenPRO-II unit to one common
master timing signal. In addition, this signal supports real-time command synchronization
between all connected ScreenPRO-II units, which in turn guarantees that all time-critical
functions (such as T-Bar commands) occur synchronously across all units.

Please note the following important points:

• For applications where it is desirable to frame lock the system’s widescreen output

to a master house sync (such as an NTSC or PAL black burst signal), a Genlock
input BNC is provided.

• The unit frame locks to CSYNC (composite bi- or tri-level) sync signals.

• BlendPRO-II supports only progressive video formats.

• The unit does not provide scaling or frame rate conversion of input sources.

• Output timing matches input timing.

• Video delay through the BlendPRO-II is 6 video lines or less.

• DVI outputs from ScreenPRO-II must be H & V locked, using the “Widescreen

Lock” output from BlendPRO-II.

Figure 2-3. BlendPRO-II Outpu ts Section

The Outputs Section includes four digital and four analog outputs:

~ DVI — the four DVI digital outputs are per DDWG 1.0 specifications. All

four are DVI-D (digital, single link, receptacle) using DVI-I connectors.

The DVI outputs are of the same resolution as the inputs.

In Appendix A, refer to the “DVI Connector Pinouts” section on page 38

for pinout details.

~ Analog — the four HD-15 analog outputs provide progressive RGB.

Analog syncs can be configured for 5 wire (RGBHV), 4 wire (RGB

composite sync) or 3 wire (sync on green) operation. Please note:

• Video components are driven at 700mV peak amplitude (1V for
SOG) at 75 Ohm terminations.

• Sync components (4 and 5 wire) are driven at TTL compatible
levels at 75 Ohm terminations.

• The analog outputs is driven at the same resolution and in sync
with the DVI outputs.

• Data is identical to the data on the DVI outputs, except that the
analog circuits are 10-bit, and thus preserve the 10-bit result of
the data doubling and feathering operations.

In Appendix A, refer to the “Analog 15-pin D Connector
page 37 fo r pinout details.

7) Ethernet Port

One RJ-45 (Neutrik) connector is provided for Ethernet communications with
BlendPRO-II. Ethernet is the primary means of controlling the BlendPRO-II.
Please note:

Safety Precautions

p~СЙну=mкЙЕ~мнбзел=

For all BlendPRO-II installation procedures, observe the following important safety and
handling rules to avoid damage to yourself and the equipment:

• To protect users from electric shock, ensure that the power supplies for each unit

connect to earth via the ground wire provided in the AC power Cord.

• The AC Socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and be easily

accessible.

rей~ЕвбеЦ=~еЗ=fелйЙЕнбзе=

Before opening the BlendPRO-II box, inspect it for damage. If you find any damage, notify
the shipping carrier immediately for all claims adjustments. As you open the box, compare
its contents against the packing slip. If you find any shortages, contact your Barco sales
representative.

Once you have removed all the components from their packaging and checked that all the
listed components are present, visually inspect each unit to ensure there was no damage
during shipping. If there is damage, notify the shipping carrier immediately for all claims
adjustments.

páíÉ=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=

The environment in which you install your BlendPRO-II(s) should be clean, properly lit, free
from static, and have adequate power, ventilation, and space for all components.

BlendPRO-II units are designed to be rack mounted and are supplied with front rack-mount
hardware. Please note the following important points:

• Rear rack-mount brackets are available as a kit, and are recommended for use

when units are mounted in transit cases.

• When rack mounting the unit, remember that the maximum ambient operating

temperature for the unit is 40 degrees C.

• Leave sufficient front and rear space to make sure that the airflow through the fan

and vent holes is not restricted.

• When installing equipment into a rack, distribute the units evenly to prevent

hazardous conditions that may be created by uneven weight distribution.

• Connect the unit only to a properl y rate d sup pl y c ircuit.

• Reliable grounding (earthing) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

• Rack mount the unit from the front rack ears using four rack screws (not supplied).

Rack threads may be metric or otherwise — depending upon the rack type.

• Install the lower of the two mounting holes first.
