Planning and installing hardware

For best results, consider these questions before you start installing your hardware, and write a plan.

Display:

• What size is the display?
• What is the native resolution of the display?
• Do you need a display that supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)?
• Do you need a projector?

Sources or inputs:

• What types of source do you need?
• What is the native resolution of each source?
• What is the frame rate of each source?
• Will the sources be available at all times that the CORIOview is operating?
• Is there any switching or processing before the source reaches your CORIOview?

Positioning and location:

• Availability of electrical outlets

• Distance from CORIOview to sources and display

  For best results, use cables under 15 m long, or shorter if you use connection adapters. If you need to place your CORIOview more than 15 m away from your sources or displays, use a signal extender.

• Installation environment

  In industrial environments, use shielded Ethernet cables.

Once you have planned and collected your hardware, you can set it up. First, install your displays and place your sources. Then connect your displays to your output modules and your sources to your input modules.

Who can do this?

Anyone can do this task, but we recommend that you consult a qualified AV installer.

1. Position your sources. Follow the advice above when you choose where to put your sources.

2. Connect your display or projector to the output module of your CORIOview.

   

3. Connect your sources to the input modules of your CORIOview.

   

   Keep a note of which source is connected to which port. You can use this information later when you name inputs and outputs in CORIOgrapher.

4. Connect your CORIOview to your network. If you want to control your CORIOview with a serial controller, connect a serial controller.

   

5. Connect your CORIOview to an electrical outlet and power on.

   

You can now set up your inputs and output in CORIOgrapher.
