Architecture Description

Version 1

A PC with DVI output transfers an identical display image to up to four Control Panels. Command signals
can be transferred to the PC via USB from each Control Panel.

Version 2

If two PCs with one DVI output each are used, two different images can be transferred to the Control
Panels. The two images may have different screen resolutions.

Version 3

The two-PC principle also works using a PC with Core

Duo technology. If two DVI outputs are used, two

different images can be transferred to the Control Panels. The two images may have different screen
resolutions. The two-channel C9900-A185 ADD2 card offers a simple option for installing an additional
DVI output. The card has two external DVI ports and enables direct connection of two DVI/USB Control
Panels to C5102, C6140, C6150, C6240 or C6250 PCs. Via the CU8810, these two DVI outputs can be
branched further to up to four Control Panels.
