If	you	are	connecting	more	than	two	expansion	chassis	together,	you	can	continue	to	expand	the	gen	lock	
link	to	further	downstream	chassis	by	fitting	a	H-link	board	into	the	first	slot	of	the	first	expansion	chassis	
and	by	connecting	a	gen-lock	cable	from	the	S-Link	board	directly	into	the	H-Link	card	in	the	expansion	
chassis,	whilst	at	the	same	time	connecting	the	H-Link	output	to	the	next	Image4	graphics	card.	See	the	
following	illustration	as	an	example.	In	this	way	you	can	create	very	large	systems	and	maintain	the	gen	 
locking	capability	between	all	Image4	graphics	cards.
In	order	to	complete	the	gen-locked	link,	you	will	need	to	connect	the	output	of	the	S-Link	board	in	the	
downstream	expansion	chassis	back	into	the	next	Image4	graphics	card	in	the	chain,	as	per	the	following	
image.	Note	again	that	the	cable	supplied	with	the	S-Link	board	is	longer	than	those	supplied	with	the	 
Image4	graphics	card	in	order	to	cover	the	extra	distance.
