Tree Topology Using Nonblocking Switches on a Core Network
Daisy Chain
Daisy chaining is appropriate for specific deployment applications such as video walls or
jury boxes in which all displays receive the same video source as the first DM NVX
endpoint in the chain
.
For video wall applications and any other application in which displays are near each
other and share the same source, up to 16 endpoints can be daisy chained together.
Larger video walls can be divided into individual daisy chains that each contain up to
16 endpoints.
For applications such as information signage in which more than one display is viewable
concurrently without being dependent on the viewing of another display in the daisy
chain, up to 64 endpoints can be daisy chained together.
