1.1 Important Safety Instructions

Instructions:

• Read these instructions.

• Keep these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do NOT submerge fully or partly in water or other liquids.

• Clean only with materials or chemicals that are inert, nonabrasive, noncorrosive and non-marking.
Consult themanufacturer for furtheradvice shouldany doubts exist regarding any cleaningprocedure.

• Do not block ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plugs/sockets. If the provided
sockets /plugsare damagedthenreplacementof the defective parts mustbe undertak

• Protect the power/data cords from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience re­ceptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. Replace damaged power/data cords
immediately.

• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

• Disconnect the power to this apparatus during lightning storms or provide suitable additional lightning
protection. Unplug this apparatus when unused for long period of time.

• Refer allservicingto qualified service technicians/personnel. Servicing isrequiredwhentheapparatus
has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, the apparatus does
not operate normally, or has been dropped.

1.2 Important Warnings

Important Warnings:

• Risk of electric shock:

Image 1-1
Risk of electrical shock

Risk of electric shock. Do not open. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or
back). No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
The lightning flash with an arrowhead within a triangle is intended to tell the user that parts inside this
product may cause a risk of electrical shock to persons.
The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to tell the user that important operating and/or
servicing instructions are included in the technical documentation for this equipment.

• Maximum ambient temperature:
The maximum recommended ambient temperature for this equipment is 40

• Flammable materials:
Keep flammable materials away from the installation (such as curtains). A lot of energy is transferred
into heat. The installation should besuch that the amount of air flowrequired for safe operationof the
equipment is not compromised. Proper ventilation must be provided.

• This equipment MUST be earthed:
In order to protect against risk of electric shock, the in
ing the purpose of the grounding type plug will exposeyou to the riskof electric shock. This apparatus
must be grounded (earthed) via the supplied 3 conductor AC power cord. (If the supplied power cord
is not the correct variant, consult your dealer.)

• Power system:
It is recommended to use a TN-S power distribution system (a power distribution system with a sep­arate neutral and grounding conductor) in order to avoid large ground currents loops due to voltage
differences in the neutral conductor. The total electrical installation should be protected by an appro­priate rated disconnect switch, circuit breakers and Ground Fault Current Interrupters. The installation
shall be done according to the local electrical installation codes. In Europe special attention should be
given to EN 60364, the standard for electrical installation of buildings. In Germany VDE 0100 should
be adhered to.

• Mains cords:
The power cords delivered with this system have special properties for safety. They are not user
serviceable. If the power cords are damaged, replace only with new ones. Never try to repair a power
cord.

• Use of an extension cord:
If an extension cord is used with this product, make sure that the total of the ampere ratings on the
products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also
make sure that the total of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 amperes.

• Cabinet openings:
Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous
high voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet,
unplug the set and have it checked by qualified service personnel before resuming operations.

2. INTRODUCTION

2.1 General functionality

Overview

The D320L is a video processing device, designed to drive exclusively Barco LED walls. The D320L is
capable of handling all standard output formats like SVGA, XGA, SXGA and UXGA on an analog RGBHV
and digital DVI output.

The D320L Digitizer allows you to control up to 4 sources on one display. Seamless switch from sour
to source or display sources together, overlay them, customize them. With analog and digital outputs
which allow for the control of displays, as well as built-in-control software, the D320L gives you control
over everything from basic set-up to configuration and advanced feature control.

The D320LDigitizerisa generic device. This means thata number ofcombinationscan be made. Devices
can be chained in order to generate more windows on the output (4 windows per device). Devices can
also be stacked in order to be able to split generated output of the devices to multiple screens. For latter
purpose, each input is equipped with an active loop through.
