1.2.4 - Connections
On the 4HD/5HD-CPU the following connections are available:
Connectors on the upper side of the 4HD/5HD-CPU unit:
 EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY: AC/DC external power supply. Not used when the 4HD/5HD-CPU is
used for score purposes.
 L1: Network connection to the 4HD/5HD-HUB unit.
 U1: Currently not used.
 U2: Currently not used.
Connectors on the upper side of the 4HD/5HD-CPU unit:
 EVEN CTRL: Serial control for the even lane overhead monitor. Only for supported monitors.
 EVEN HDMI: Digital video output for the even lane overhead monitor. The control through the
HDMI connector works only on supported monitors (actually on AccuVision Gen.3 and Gen.4).
 AUX CTRL: Serial control for the third overhead monitor. Only for supported monitors.
 4HD-CPU ONLY: AUX HDMI: HDMI control ONLY for the third overhead monitor. The control
through the HDMI connector works only on supported monitors (actually on AccuVision Gen.3 and
Gen.4).
 ODD CTRL: Serial control for the odd lane overhead monitor. Only for supported monitors.
 ODD HDMI: Digital video output for the odd lane overhead monitor. The control through the HDMI
connector works only on supported monitors (actually on AccuVision Gen.3 and Gen.4).
4HD/5HD-CPU LEDs:
The L1 network port is provided of two colored LED (both LEDs are green). The LED on the top left angle of
the port, is ON with an active link and OFF if it is disconnected. The LED on the top right angle will blink with
the activity of the network.
1.2.5 - How the 4HD/5HD-CPU works
The communication between the 4HD/5HD-CPU unit and the 4HD/5HD-HUB is based on the TCP/IP
protocol.
Thus 4HD/5HD-CPU units have an IP address that changes depending on the number of the pair of lanes
where they are installed. E.g., the address is 192.168.216.101 for the pair no. 1, 192.168.216.102 for the
pair no. 2, …….3 for the pair no. 3 and so on.
This information is displayed on the lane monitors during the booting process, when testing the devices,
together with the information concerning the version of programs loaded on the 4HD/5HD-CPU and the
serial number, that is an univocal number that identifies the 4HD/5HD-CPU unit. The serial number is used
to address the 4HD/5HD-CPU units, it can be read on the lane monitors and on a specific label applied on
one side of the 4HD/5HD-CPU unit.
