10.2 Associative Modularity mode
Different Livecore models can be linked together. When linked, both devices assume the capabilities of the
lesser unit. To link two different models together, initiate the link from the lesser unit.
10.2 Associative Modularity mode
This mode requires a Vertige console. In this mode, all live video sources must be split and shared with the
Livecore units using a splitter, matrix router, etc, and the Livecore Link cables are not used. The Device Sync
cables are used to share control and timing information between the units. Control of the units is managed
by the Vertige™ console through the LAN network.
In cases where the blended screen involves more than one LiveCore™ unit device, it becomes desirable to
improve the synchronization or effects and transitions between the multiple units, to ensure the consistency
of any moving images which cross the boundary between devices. The LiveCore™ unit offers a pair of Device
Link ports for this purpose.
To use the Device Link Sync feature in any multi-device setup, you will need one standard straight CAT5
ethernet cable. Start by connecting the Cat5 cable from the Device Link output RJ-45 jack of device 1 to the
Device link input RJ-45 jack of device 2.
NOTES:
1/ Up to 2 devices can be connected using Device Link.assembled in Additive Modulatity Linked mode. Up to
4 devices can be synced and controlled by the Vertige in Associative Modularity mode.
2/ The Cat5 based Device Link does not pass any video picture information. This link can only be used to
synchronize is used to exchange the timing of effects and processing information betweenon a LiveCore™
unit devices used as part of the same multi-device screen blend (Hard Edge and Soft Edge). Video
information should be shared using a set of specific Analog Way Livecore Link cables.
3/ The Vertige™ console is compatible with multi-device configuration.
