Unity Setup
Certain setups (e.g. MegaFIDs) require two PCs. One drives the Flight Information, the other deals with Emergency Messaging. The PC dealing with Emergency Messaging needs the Emergency Messaging plugin in order to switch the inputs of specific screens when a message has been activated.
Installing the plugin
Open Unity. (CTRL + SHIFT + F12 to show Unity)
Type install MegaFID into the command bar and execute (case sensitive).
Go to settings > plugins and enable the MegaFID plugin.
See diagram below:
Screen Requirements
DVI single link into each unit from a network receiver. DP daisy-chained. 1x loop per monitor. (For emergency content) (see diagram)
RS232 link to first screen. LAN links to the other units via in and out on CAT6.
All monitors set up with the correct group (and monitor ID)
Screen Settings
MULTI-DISP
Control ID: Set Monitor ID & Group ID (see diagram)
Tile Matrix: 3 Horizontal Monitors & 3 Vertical Monitors, set position (see diagram)
Tile Matrix Mem: Input (Current input must be DP when setting this)
External Control: RS232C
PROTECT
Power Save: Off
ADVANCED
Input Detect: None
Notes: Tile Matrix Mem must be set to input when on Display Port input. This will stop the tile matrix settings for emergency content from interfering with FID content.
3x3 is required for aspect ratio even though physical screens are only 2 high.
Broadsign Setup
Find the Display Unit > Players Tab > Double click the Player > Settings > Configuration > Edit > Configuration Profiles > Double click configuration name (e.g. 10.3) > Monitors > URL.
