Martin P3-100 System Controller - Page 39

Setup 39
Multi-controller system
You can use two (or more) P3-100s if you want to control installations that exceed the maximum number of
pixels that can be controlled by a single P3-100 (typically 500 000). The P3-100s will receive the same video
from a DVI and/or Analog Video Splitter, but will each control only a part of the total setup.
Split your installation into multiple parts, each containing maximum 500 000 pixels. Each part is then
controlled by a separate P3-100 and wired via independent Ethernet Cables and Gigabit Ethernet Switches.
The synchronous processing of the P3-100s guarantees that all parts of the installation are synchronized.
See the system diagram in Figure 38 for an example of a stacked installation:
