7 Overhead monitors
7.1 Preface
The overhead monitors (or lane monitors) are installed in the Ball Return area.
The 4HD/5HD-CPU is the graphic engine of the BES X system, that can provide up to two independent video
outputs for the scoring system, but they can control (monitor ON/OFF, channel change, etc. only on
supported monitors) on up to three monitors (two for the scoring system and one with an independent video
signal). The 4HD/5HD-CPU unit must be fixed to a vertical surface near the overhead monitors (please refer
to the “BES X Pre-installation manual” for further information). This unit communicates and takes power
from the 4HD/5HD-HUB (located on the back of the curtain wall) through the network cable connected to
the L1 connector and it is connected to the overhead monitor through the HDMI connectors.
The 4HD/5HD-CPU must be fixed to the monitor frame with the L1 connector facing upwards. QubicaAMF
monitor frames are designed to have this unit fixed on to them. If, for any reason, it is not possible to fix the
4HD/5HD-CPU unit to the monitor frame (i.e. the monitor frame is not supplied by QubicaAMF) the 4HD/5HD-
CPU must be fixed to a vertical surface NEAR the overhead monitors, in an area that ensures correct air
circulation around the unit, always with the L1 connector facing upwards. NEVER install, for any reason, this
unit in a horizontal position as it will result in major damage to the 4HD/5HD-CPU unit itself.
7.2 Monitor requirements
The image resolution provided by the 4HD/5HD-CPU is 1280x720.
In order to correctly visualize the image on the screen we strongly suggest using monitors with the “Just
Scan” (or “Screen Fit”) option present. The “Just Scan” (or “Screen Fit”) picture mode is a function that allows
the image to fit the screen exactly without overlapping the sides of the screen.
If the “Just Scan” (or “Screen Fit”) capability is not present on the monitor, QubicaAMF will not assume any
responsibility for an incorrect visualization of the image. In this case, we strongly recommend testing the
QubicaAMF equipment with the chosen monitor before the purchase.
In order to control the monitors from Conqueror X when the monitors support commands via the HDMI
connector, it is only necessary to connect the HDMI cable between the 4HD/5HD-CPU and the monitor.
If the purchased monitors do not support commands via the HDMI connector, the HDMI connection between
the 4HD/5HD-CPU and the monitor is not enough, so use the 288401007 cable to connect the “CTRL” output
of the 4HD/5HD-CPU to the serial control (male DB-9 connector) on the rear of the monitors or the
610325206 cable connected to the “CTRL” output of the 4HD/5HD-CPU and fixed over the infrared receiver
of the monitor.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. For monitors supplied by QubicaAMF, always set the ID of each monitor to 1 in order to control it
directly from a Conqueror X computer.
2. Not all the monitors can be controlled from Conqueror X. Please contact QubicaAMF Technical
Support department for further information.
3. Always disable the power saving or automatic switch-off option on each monitor to avoid the monitor
turning off.
