NET-EC INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Illustration 9 shows a sample NET-EC connection scenario similar to those setups
shown in Illustration 7 and Illustration 8. The NET-EC controls a video system but
requires an external routing switcher with a maximum of 32 inputs by 32 outputs. The
NET-EC supports several switcher types, including the LEIGHTRONIX PRO-16/PRO-8
Controllers, PESA routers, and SIGMA routers. Optionally the NET-EC may be
ordered with the control option for the SIERRA VIDEO SYSTEMS switchers or the
KNOX RS and ProSwitch switchers (contact LEIGHTRONIX Sales Department for
more information on these options).
Video and audio sources (VCRs, DVD players, satellite or studio feeds, character
generator, etc.) are connected to the external switcher inputs, while the outputs are
connected to the desired destinations, such as modulators. VCRs and DVD players
are controlled through the use of LEIGHTRONIX PRO-BUS interfaces, sold separately
for many brands and models of professional video equipment. The PRO-BUS
interfaces loop together for easy setup and are available with infrared, mini-jack, and
multi-pin connectors. The NET-EC has two DVply connectors to control TASCAMĀ®
DV-D6500 DVD players, which allows cueing of DVDs by Title:Chapter. PC
configuration and control is done over a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet connection.
