3.3 Connecting the IMB to a Series 1 Projector
The SR-1000 IMB should be connected to the Projector’s link decryptor board using HD-SDI
cables. Take note of the following connections:
•Connect 'SDI-OUT1' from the IMB to input 'A' on the Link Decryptor.
•Connect 'SDI-OUT2' from the IMB to input 'B' on the Link Decryptor.
A network connection is required from either the IMB’s ETH1 or ETH2 to the Projector’s network
port. Connect a network cable between the IMB Ethernet port (ETH1 or ETH2) to the Projector.
Configure the ETH1/ETH2 IP address from the Web UI interface under the Configuration →
System →Network Configuration section.
