8. Cabling of the X8 display
8.2 Data cabling of the X8 display
Necessary parts
• Data linking cables.
• One dummy data plug.
How to realize the data cabling of the X8 display?
1. Connect the data cable coming from the digitizer with the data input socket of the first X8 Connection Box. The first X8 Connection
Box must be one of the X8 Connection Boxes in the corner of the X8 display.
Note: The maximum cable length between the digitizer and the first X8 Connection Box m ay not exceed 10 meter.
2. Daisy chain the data-linking cables from the data output of previous X8 Connection Box to the data input of the next. This daisy
chain linking can be realized either in horizontal (recommended) or vertical direction starting in a corner of the X8 display.
3. Place a dummy data plug on the data output socket of the last X8 Connection Box in the chain.
4. Specify in the setup controlling software how the data path is realized (horizontal or vertical) and which X8 Connection Box is the
first in the chain.
When using a fiberlink system the fiberlink d ata connection is inserted between the d igitizer and the first X8
Connection Box.
When using an Ambient En vironment Con troller (AEC) the data co nnection of the AEC is inserted between
two X8 Connection Bo xes.
Example of data cabling
The example below shows the data cabling, seen from the rear of the X8 display of four frames wide and six frames high. The data
path is realized in a horizontal direction and starts in the lower left corner (seen from the rear). The settings in the control software
refer to the display seen from the front. So, the first tile in the data path has to be indicated as the lower right tile of the display.
