commands to the NV9000 whereupon the NV9000 switches sources to the destinations of
interest.
Two of the router destinations must connect directly to the Imagestore 750. The other destina-
tions related to the Imagestore 750 connect to other equipment.
Cable connections are required for each of the following system components:
• Digital video router (with support for embedded audio).
• NV9000 router control system.
• Imagestore 750 with optional Intuition XG graphics co-processor.
• Automation.
• iMC panel(s).
• Monitor wall(s).
• Configuration PC.
Note: When you are cabling a channel, please refer to individual documentation for these
system components.
Video Connections
Note: the Imagestore 750’s video connectors are 75W BNCs.
The following video connections must be made when configuring a master control system:
• Connect two of the router’s destinations directly to the Imagestore 750, one to the A input
and one to the B input. A third router destination connects to an auxiliary device.
It is possible to connect the router’s aux destination directly to the Imagestore 750’s C input
which is directed internally to the Imagestore 750’s clean feed or monitor output, if extra
audio processing is required. However, doing this prevents multiple Imagestore 750s from
sharing an auxiliary device.
• If multiple Imagestore 750s are to share a monitor wall, feed the Imagestore 750’s program,
preset, clean-feed, and monitor outputs into the router, as sources, so that they can be used
by the monitor wall.
• Make video connections between the router and monitor wall(s). The number of connec-
tions depends on your system monitoring requirements, the number of monitor walls, and
the number of control panels. There will normally be 4 for the outputs of each Imagestore
750, plus the a number of connections equal to the size of the largest source group for all
panels. An additional connection would be required if you want aux output to appear on the
monitor wall.
It is typical for a master control system to have one monitor wall for each control panel. That
is not a requirement. In any case, the number of connections to any single monitor wall
remains fixed no matter how many channels or panels are present in the system.
• If your Imagestore 750 uses an Intuition XG co-processor, connect the Intuition XG’s fill and
key outputs to one of the fill/key input pairs of the Imagestore 750.
