2. INTRODUCTION

2.1 General functionality

Overview

The D320PL is a video processing device, designed to drive as well Barco LED walls as large screen
projectors, monitors, plasma screens, ... etc. The D320PL is capable of handling all standard output
formats like SVGA, XGA, SXGA and UXGA on an analog RGBHV and digital DVI output.

The D320PL Digitizer allows you to control up to 4 sources on one display. Seamless switch from sou
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 D320PL gives you control
over everything from basic set-up to configuration and advanced feature control.

The D320PL Digitizer is a generic device. This means that a number of combinations can be made.
Devices canbe chainedin order to generatemore windowsonthe output (4windows perdevice). 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.

The D320PL Digitizer can be chained in order to generate more windows on the output display (four win­dows per D320PL Digitizer).

How to set up a D320PL chaining configuration

1. Connect the RS232 communication port of the local control PC with the COM1 RS232 input portof the
first D320PL Digitizer. This Digitizer will act as the master, all following Digitizers are slaves.

2. Connect the LOOP OUT with the LOOP IN of the next D320PL Digitizer in the chain.

3. Connect the COM2 RS232 output port with the COM1 RS232 input port of the next D320PL Digitizer
in the chain.

4. Repeat step 2 and 3 until all D320PL Digitizers in the chain are connected.

5. Connect the LED-WALL / PROJECTOR OUTPUT from the last D320PL Digitizer in the chain with the
display.

6. Provide the available video sources to the input modules of the D320PL Digitizers.

7. Configure the D320PL Digitizers and the Display with the control software installed on the local control
PC.

6.3 Stacking configuration

Scheme

Image 6-3

For some large installations is it necessary to divided a complete large display into two ore more screens
depending on the used frame rate and the amount of pixels per line and the total lines of the complete
display. For each screen a D320PL Digitizer is used in stacking configuration. Consult Barco n.v. for
advise about the number of D320PL Digitizers to be stacked.

How to set up a D320PL stacking configuration

1. Connect the RS232 communication port of the local control PC with the COM1 RS232 input portof the
first D320PL Digitizer. This Digitizer will act as the master, all following Digitizers are slaves.

2. Connect the LOOP OUT with the LOOP IN of the next stacked D320PL Digitizer. This is necessary to
avoid synchronization problems between the screens

3. Connect the COM3 RS232 output port with the COM1 RS232 input port of the next stacked D320PL
Digitizer.

4. Connect the LED-WALL / PROJECTOR OUTPUT with the one screen.

5. Repeat step 2, 3 and 4 until all D320PL Digitizers are stacked.

6. Provide the available video sources to the input modules of one of the D320PL Digitizers and use the
active loop through to connect the sources with the other stacked D320PL Digitizers. Make sure the
same input source is used for the same input slot number on the different Digitizers.

7. Configure the D320PL Digitizers and the Display with the control software installed on the local control
PC.

6.4 Combined chained and stacke d configuration

Scheme

Image 6-4

It is possible to stack several chained D320PL Digitizers in order to create a larger display with more than
4 windows. On condition that each chain in the stacked configuration has the same number of D320PL
Digitizers.

How to set up a mixed configuration

1. Connect the RS232 communication port of the local control PC with the COM1 RS232 input portof the
first D320PL Digitizer. This Digitizer will act as the master, all following Digitizers are slaves.

2. Connect the LOOP OUT of each previous Digitizer with the LOOP IN of the next Digitizer.

3. Connect the LED-WALL / PROJECTOR OUTPUT of the last Digitizer of eachchain with a screen. Do
this ina logical order to simplifythe configuration withthe controlsoftware. First chain drives first screen
from the left, second chain drives second screen from the left and so on.

4. Connect each COM2 RS232 output port of the previous chained Digitizer with the COM1 RS232 input
port of the next chained Digitizer.

5. Connect each COM3 RS232 output port of the previous stacked Digitizer with the COM1 RS232 input
port of the next stacked Digitizer.

6. Provide the available video sources to the input modules and use the active loop through to connect
the sources with the other stacked input modules.

Note: The control software will recognize the chained Digitizers as one Digitizer in a stacked configura-

tion. But instead of only 4 input slots the software will detect a plural of 4 input slots. Make sure
the same input source is used for the same input slot number on the different stacked Digitizers.

7. Configure the D320PL Digitizers and the Display with the control software installed on the local control
PC.
