Multiplex Configuration
Figure
2-­‐2
illustrates
a
multiscreen
configuration
that
includes
a
manager
station
and/or
NAS
server
for
content
ingest
and
storage.
Content
ingests
can
be
accomplished
at
the
managers
station
or
the
NAS
server.
Once
ingested,
content
can
be
quickly
distributed
to
the
multiple
CMS-­‐2200
systems.
The
Media
network
is
used
to
distribute
content
to
the
CMS-­‐2200
units,
while
the
Management
network
carries
the
control
functions
between
the
SMS
software
and
the
projectors.
Note
that
the
manager’s
station
has
network
connections
to
both
the
Media
and
the
Management
networks.
For
automation,
the
ETH
ports
on
the
CMS-­‐2200
may
be
used
to
communicate
with
external
equipment
over
Ethernet,
or
the
CMSA-­‐100
may
be
used
to
provide
automation
functionality.
The
Automation
and
Management
networks
can
be
merged
to
handle
both
functions
on
the
same
network
and
simplify
the
configuration.

Triplex
Configuration
Note:
Only
three
projectors
are
shown
above,
but
the
configuration
can
scaled
out
to
a
larger
number
of
screens
to
support
any
complex
network
topology.
Refer
to
Section
3.0
for
more
information
on
the
Management
and
Media
networks
as
well
as
suggested
IP
address
schemes.
