AC Power
Each VIP Drive 43s has an auto-ranging power supply that works with an input voltage range of 100 to 240
VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the power requirements for each VIP Drive 43s, refer to the label affixed to
the product. You can also refer to the Technical Specifications chart in this manual.
The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation. For more
information, download Sizing Circuit Breakers from the Chauvet website: www.chauvetprofessional.com
• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make
sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
• T o eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use
completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variab le resistor ) or dimmer circuit , even if
the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.
AC Plug
The VIP Drive 43s comes with a power input cord terminated with a Neutrik® powerCON® connector on
one end and an Edison plug on the other end (U.S. market). If the power input cord that came with your
product has no plug, or if you need the change the plug, use the table below to wire the new plug.

.
Mounting
The VIP Drive 43s fits nicely on a standard 19” rack, or it can be placed on its rubber feet on a flat level
surface.
Signal Connections
The VIP Drive 43s uses the Linsn control protocol to send video signal to the connected panels. The VIP
Drive 43s has USB and Ethernet ports for interfacing with a computer, HDMI, SDI and DVI ports for video
input, as well as 4 Neutrik® etherCON® out ports, a DVI out port, 2 ethernet slave ports, and 2 ethernet
ports for Art-Net™ control.
Video Source Connection
You can link the VIP Drive 43s directly to a video source using a DVI connection, an HDMI connection, or
an SDI connection.
Computer Connection
You can link the VIP Drive 43s to a computer running video mapping software (such as LED Studio) using
a USB (type A or B) connection. This will provide control options for the VIP Drive 43s through a computer
interface. Download the LED Studio software and User Manual from www.chauvetvideo.com
Art-Net™ Connection
With Art-Net™, you can control the mapping and scaling, as well as the color balance and dimmer levels
for all connected panels. You can link the VIP Drive 43s to a controller using an ethernet connection. If
using other Art-Net™-compatible products with this product, you can control each individually with a single
controller. The Art-Net™ Values section provides detailed information regard ing the control channels.
Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP which transfers a large amount of DMX512 data us ing
an Neutrik® etherCON® RJ45 connection over a large network. An Art-Net™ protocol document is
available from www.chauvetprofessional.com
Art-Net™ designed by and copyright Artistic Licence Holdings Ltd.
.
Preview Monitor Connection
Y o u can link the VIP Drive 43s to a monitor that will preview the LED output using a DVI cable plugged into
the PREVIEW OUT port. This port can also be set to forward the selected input signal to another product.
