Figure 5: Media Distribution to Three Displays Note! The connections to the transmitter and the broadcaster are identical. The broadcaster has three system ports and the transmitter i has only one system port. All references to connections apply equally to both units. Figure 6 and Figure 7 illustrate all the connections to the DS Vision Digital units. Not all the connections are always needed. This section explains the basic connections.

6 Serial Control To enable serial control of remote displays: 1. Connect a serial (9-pin D-sub male/female) cable between the players and the broadcaster/transmitter. 2. Connect a serial (9-pin D-sub female/female) cable between the receiver and the screen. Figure 9 illustrates the connections: Figure 9: Serial Control When using a broadcaster, the serial command is broadcasted to all the displays. In order to send a quarry command to a specific display, make sure to place the rele

7 Terminal IP Connectivity To extend a network from the transmitter/broadcaster side to the remote terminal side: 1. Connect a standard Ethernet cable (Ethernet 10/100BaseT straight-through cable) between the player side network and the transmitter/broadcaster. 2. Connect a standard Ethernet cable (Ethernet 10/100BaseT straight-through cable) between the receiver and the terminal side units. Once these connections have been made, the extension system enables the creation of an extended

8 Scalability There are two types of methods to extend the system scale: • Cascade a receiver with a broadcaster/transmitter to increase the distance of the system • Cascade a broadcaster with a broadcaster/transmitter to increase the number of supported displays 8.1 Cascading to Increase the Distance Cascade up to six distribution systems to increase the distance up to 600m (2,000ft). Figure 11 illustrates a 2-hop cascaded system. Figure 11: 2-Hop Cascaded System To connect the re

Figure 12: 6-Hop Cascaded System 8.2 Cascading to Increase the Number of Displays Connect a primary broadcaster to a secondary broadcaster or transmitter to increase the number of receivers and displays that can be connected to the system. Cascading an additional broadcaster enables adding three displays, whereas cascading of an additional transmitter enables adding a single display. 1. Connect the primary broadcaster to a secondary unit using an HDMI to HDMI cable (type A, male/male)
