DC-ONE STARTUP/CONFIGURATION WIZARD

Note *This Configuration Wizard is assuming the user has purchased the extra

license features of +2 I/O and +1 OP. The scenario below is 8 I/O and 2 Ops.

DC-ONE is default to have 6 I/O and 1 OP.

1. On initial start up, the menu below will be seen. Being by clicking “ADD NEW”. The System Status bar

on the right side is displaying which inputs/outputs you have connected, as well as the video standard

they are bringing into the system. You can also see REF, LTC, and have the ability to change the Time.

Figure A-1: ADD NEW DC-ONE Configuration

2. A New Configuration is being configured. Pick your Video Standard. Single Operator can skip steps 3

& 4.

Revision 1.0 Page 11

3. Next, pick the amount of user’s your setup will have. (Notice the previous option “Video Standard” is

locked in and green. When an option is green that means you can click on it and edit).

Figure A-3: Selecting Amount of Users

4. Next, pick the amount of Inputs/Outputs you will be using. If 1 OP is chosen, the I/O options will be 4x2,

6x2 and 4x4. If 2 OPs were chosen, the options will be 2x1, 3x1 and 2x2.

Figure A-4: Selecting Inputs/Outputs

5. If 2 User’s were chosen, select the amount of Monitors Operator A will be using. The user will be able

to choose a 1 Monitor layout, or 2 Monitors in a horizontal or vertical layout.

Figure A-5: Selecting number of Monitors

6. If 2 Monitors were selected, options to configure your left and right monitors will be shown. Chose a

Refresh Rate.

Figure A-6: Selecting Monitor Specs – Refresh Rate

8. Finally, choose the cable type being used from your DC-ONE to the monitor. Display Port to Display

Port (DP -> DP), Display Port to DVI (DP -> DVI), or Display Port to HDMI (DP -> HDMI).

Figure A-8: Selecting Monitor Specs – Cable Type

9. If you wish to use the same settings for your right monitor, click yes under the option “Duplicate

monitor?” If you wish to configure your right monitor differently, select “NO” and repeat steps 6-8.
