Installation
For this procedure, you will need:
Use the following steps to install a wide screen “stack” configuration:
1. Software Version — Prior to connecting your VPx processor(s), ensure that
software version 1.22 (or higher) is installed in your Encore Controller. Refer to
Appendix C, “Upgrading Software” in the Encore Presentation System User’s
Guide for complete upgrade instructions.
2. Follow the unpacking procedures as listed in the “Unpacking and Inspection
”
section on page 15.

mechanical details.

Important
It is recommended that each stack consists of two “fully
loaded” processors, each with three M/Es. If necessary, you
can use a mis-matched configuration (e.g., two M/Es in the
bottom stack, three in the top), but the top stack must always
have three M/Es installed. In this way, your stacked set will
never have anything less than four M/Es available.
Important
Remember that master units (ID#1 and ID#2) must be VP, not
VPx. “Slave” units can be VP or VPx.
