manufacturing faults Barco must be informed immediately in writing of any complaints.
The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special
systems and software on the date of commissioning, at latest 30 days after the transfer of
risks. In the event of justified notice of compliant, Barco can repair the fault or provide a
replacement at its own discretion within an appropriate period. If this measure proves to be
impossible or unsuccessful, the purchaser can demand a reduction in the purchase price or
cancellation of the contract. All other claims, in particular those relating to compensation for
direct or indirect damage, and also damage attributed to the operation of software as well
as to other services provided by Barco, being a component of the system or independent

the unit without the cover installed.
Power Source
This product is intended to operate from a power source that will not apply more than 230
volts rms between the supply conductors or between both supply conductor and ground. A
protective ground connection by way of grounding conductor in the power cord is essential
for safe operation.
Grounding the Product
This product is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power cord. To avoid
electrical shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired receptacle before connecting to
the product input or output terminals. A protective-ground connection by way of the
grounding conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation.
U e the Proper Power Cord
Use only the power cord and connector specified for your product. Use only a power cord

Introduction
ImagePRO-II’s Dual Channel Output mode, available in the ImagePRO-II Dual Output unit,
allows for any selected input or Logo to be presented at two different output resolutions
simultaneously. For example, say your main presentation output is a projector running at
1920x1080p. With this mode enabled you could also send the output to a record deck
expecting NTSC. By assigning output connections to either Channel A or Channel B, the
channels can be independently configured for Output Resolution / Frame Rate, Area of
Interest, Effects or even Pan / Zoom settings, giving the operator maximum flexibility for a
given show configuration.
1. Getting Started
To get started, make sure you have an ImagePRO-II Dual Output unit (R900 683) or obtain
a Dual Channel Option Card kit (R900 68 ) to upgrade an existing ImagePRO-II unit If you
are not certain what type of unit you have contact your local Barco Sales Representative for
more information.
Next, confirm that Software Release 2.00 or higher is installed to enable and make use of
the Dual Channel feature.
2. Initial Setup
To enable Dual Channel Mode
1) Press the SETUP button on the front panel.
2) Select the SYSTEM menu.
3) Scroll to SYSTEM MODE and change the field to DUAL2K.
) Wait for the system to configure itself to use this mode.

26-0904001-00 Rev 00.00 8
Setting up the Output Connector Map
Now that Dual Channel mode is enable, select which output connectors will map to Output A
and which will map to Output B.
1) Within the SYSTEM menu, scroll to and select the OUTPUT CONNECTOR MAP
submenu
2) By default, all seven outputs of the ImagePRO-II will be mapped to Output A.
3) Scroll to the various connectors as required and change the field from A to B to
map that connector to Output B.

O u t 6 ( S D I 2 ) B
O u t 7 ( C o p ) A

3. Output Configuration
Once the mode and connectors have been setup, specific configuration of the two outputs
can be performed.
Output Resolution
1) In the OUTPUT setup menu, the first two lines (labelled CHA and CHB) show the
current resolution and frame rate for each channel.
2) Select either of these menu items to change the output resolution / frame rate to
the desired choice.
Area of Interest
1) Select the AREA OF INTEREST submenu under OUTPUT.
2) The first field (labelled CHANNEL) allows the selection of A or B to allow
independent AOI adjustments for each output.
3) The same operation is also available under the LED SETUP  WALL SIZING (AOI)
submenu.
Output Timing Adjustment
1) Select the TIMING ADJUST submenu under OUTPUT.
2) The first field (labelled CHANNEL) allows the selection of A or B to allow
independent timing adjustments for each output.

26-0904001-00 Rev 00.00 10
Output Effects
1) Select the EFFECTS submenu under OUTPUT.
2) The first field (labelled CHANNEL) allows the selection of A, B or ALL to allow for
independent or simultaneous adjustments for each output.
Genlock
1) Select the GENLOCK submenu under OUTPUT.
2) The first field (CHA SOURCE) can be selected and will offer all the standard
Genlock source options (FREERUN, EXT or IN #).
3) The second field in the menu (CHB SOURCE) will default to LOCK TO A. With this
option, Channel B will stay locked to Channel A at all times, regardless of the
Genlock source selected for Channel A. If desired, this field can also be changed
to FREERUN in order to disable the locked association with Channel A.
) The H/V OFFSET submenu allows the selection of A or B to allow for the
independent adjustment of H and V Offset for each channel.
5) The current lock status for Channel A and B is displayed at the bottom of the
GENLOCK menu.
GENLOCK
> CHA Source Freerun
CHB Source Lock to A
H/V Offset >>

26-0904001-00 Rev 00.00 11
Save and Reset Output Configs
1) Within the SAVE CONFIG and RESET CONFIG submenus under OUTPUT, the first
field allows for the selection of A, B or ALL. Make the appropriate selection when
saving or resetting output configurations.
Pan / Zoom
1) Select the PAN/ZOOM button on the front panel of the ImagePRO-II.
2) The first field (labelled CHANNEL) allows the selection of A or B to allow
independent Pan and Zoom adjustments for each output channel.
3) The same operation is also available under the LED SETUP  IMAGE SIZING
submenu.
Logo Backup and Restore
1) Within the SETUP  LOGO menu the BACKUP LOGO and RESTORE LOGO
submenus have the CHANNEL selection for the first field. This allows for
independent backup or restore of logos for each channel.

26-0904001-00 Rev 00.00 12
4. General Operation
1) In addition to the input and output connectors provided in ImagePro-II, the
ImagePro-II Dual output unit provides a second SDI input (SDI 6) and associated
loop-through as well as a second SDI output (SDI 2 OUT).
2) When switching from Single mode to Dual2K mode, the user will be prompted to
take corrective action if the following items are not setup correctly. Until these
items are corrected, the unit will not be allowed to enter Dual2K mode.
a. ALL Inputs connected to the ImagePRO-II must not exceed the maximum
pixel rate of 165MHz.
b. Resolution/frame rates programmed for ALL input EDIDs must not exceed
the maximum pixel rate of 165MHz.
c. The current Output resolution/frame rate selection must not exceed
20 8x1200@60.
3) After the mode has been changed from Single mode to Dual2K mode, the
following will be true:
a. Channel A and Channel B are both configured to match the Single mode
configuration as defined prior to entering Dual2K mode.
b. All output connectors are assigned to Channel A.
c. A Logo saved in Single mode will be available for both Channel A and
Channel B.
d. Channel B Genlock will default to “Lock to A”
) When in Dual2K mode,
a. The maximum Output Resolution for each channel is 20 8x1200@60.
b. The maximum Logo Resolution is 20 8x1200.
c. Input maximum pixel rate can not exceed 165MHz
5) Source Transitions, Freeze and Logo captures will be done synchronously on
Channels A and B.
a. Note: When a Logo capture is performed, Channel A and B will perform a
freeze function simultaneously and the logo images will then be captured.
If the two output channels are not genlocked, it is possible that the image
frozen will be 1 frame apart between the two outputs.
6) When changing the mode from Dual2K mode to Single mode, the following will
happen:
a. The user will be prompted with a warning that Channel B settings will be
discarded if the SEL button is pushed to “Confirm”. Pressing the “ESC”
button will cancel this operation.
b. The single channel configuration will match Channel A as defined in
Dual2K mode, just prior to entering Single mode.
c. All output connectors are assigned to the Single channel.
