DVI Y Cable ConnectionConnect the first DVI Y
cable to the top DVI connector on the controller,
if you have more than 2 groups/displays, connect
the second DVI Y cable to the bottom
connector.Note When using a Matrox G450
graphics card, the top connector is used for
display groups 1 and 2 and the bottom for display
groups 3 and 4.
50
Keyboard/Mouse Dongle (Y Cable)
ConnectionConnect a keyboard and mouse to the
K/M dongle Y cable on the controller.
51
Part 2 Connect a MCC ModuleNOTE Set the ID
for the first module in every display group to 0.
This will identify it as the first module in the
software. Make sure to change the ID of every
additional module in the group in increments of
1, i.e. the next module will have ID 1.
52
Connect the male end of the 6ft. Serial Cable (DB
9 cable) to COM A on MCC Module.
53
Connect the female end of 6ft. serial cable to
the first com port on the RS-485 Dongle labeled
1. If you have multiple display groups, use the
second com port for display group 2, the third
com port for display group 3, and the forth com
port for display group 4. Controllers with the
VCC-CXU upgrade will have an additional RS-485
dongle for display groups 5, 6, 7, and 8.
54
Connect port 1 of DVI Y cable labeled 1/3 to
Cascade In on the MCC module.
55
Connect DVI-I Output from the last module in the
group to the display device (For VGA type
displays a DVI-I to VGA adapter needs to be used).
56
Connect incoming video signals to Video In. Each
video module takes four video signals, bottom row
of BNC connectors are used for loop outs.
57
Final setup of a simple system consisting of one
module and a VCC-C1R controller.
58
To add a new MCC module to a display group, make
sure the rotary ID Switch is set to the next
available increment. Also disconnect the VGA or
DVI output from the first module.

displaying 8 windows on 1 group display. Up to 30
modules can be cascaded from a single COM port.
To Display Device
65
Part 3 Addition of a new Display Group with MCC
modules cascaded with VCC modulesThe first step
when adding a new display group is to set the
Rotary ID Switch of the new module to 0.
66
The second step is to connect a male end of the
RS-485 cable to the modules Com A port and the
female end to the 2nd port on the RS-485 dongle.
67
The third step is the connect the second DVI
cable labeled 2/4 from the controller to the
Cascade In on the module. If the controller is
running, make sure to restart windows so plug and
play detects the new port.
68
Finally, connect all the sources to the modules
and DVI-I output to the display device.

69
Cascading MCC modules with VCC modulesWhen
cascading MCC modules with VCC modules in the
same group, it is important that all VCC modules
are on the bottom of the stack followed by the
MCC modules.
70
The first step is to set the Rotary ID on the VCC
module to 0 and on the MCC module to 1.
71
The second step is to connect the male end of the
RS-485 cable labeled Port 2 to Com A of the
second module (MCC module). Also connect the DVI
cable labeled 2/4 to Digital Cascade of the first
module (VCC module). Then use the RS-485 looping
cable to cascade the serial inputs.
72
The third step is to use the 1 ft. DVI-D cable to
cascade the two modules.
73
Finally, connect your sources and the output to
the display and you are ready to proceed to the
software setup.
