Introduction
The Avant-16SQ is a PCI plug-in card that has 16 analogue to digital converters
that accept PAL, NTSC or SECAM in composite or S-Video format. The digital
output from each of the decoders is put onto a high-speed digital bus.
The Vigilant-X4-SIP and Vigilant-SQ take the digital video from the high-speed
bus and put it on the displays. Each display can show up to 16 video inputs.
Up to 8 Avant-16SQ cards can be connected to a single high-speed digital bus.
The driver for Avant-16SQ is installed with the display driver for the graphics
card you are using (Vigilant-X or Vigilant).
The Wall Control application “VigiControl” is used to create and manage Avant
windows.
An SDK is provided so that you can integrate Avant windows into your
applications.

Unpacking
Your packing box should contain the following items:
•The Avant-16SQ PCI plug-in card.
•2 x multi-way splitter cables. (BNC 16 - Cable)
•1 x SIP-cable. (Ribbon Cable)
The Avant-16SQ-NC is supplied without any cables.
Notes:
All plug-in cards are static sensitive and are packed in anti-static
materials. Please keep the card in its packaging until you are ready to
install.
We recommend that you do not discard the packing box until you are
completely satisfied with the Avant-16SQ, and it is fully installed and
working correctly. We also recommend that you make note of the serial
number of the card in a prominent place before you plug the card into the
computer. This should hasten any query should you need to contact our
Technical Support Department. The serial number is displayed on the
card and the box label.

Installing the Avant-16SQ Card
The Avant-16SQ outputs digital video onto a high speed bus. The graphics card
(Vigilant-XSQ or Vigilant-SQ) takes the digital video from the high speed bus
and puts it on the displays. The high speed bus runs from card to card via SIP
cables. The SIP cables are short and can be connected in only one direction.
When you design a system that incorporates Avant-16SQ, you must follow
these rules:
•The Avant-16SQ cards must be grouped together and the graphics cards
must be grouped together.
•There can be up to eight Avant-16SQ cards in a group.
•The number of graphics cards in a group is limited by your system.
•The Avant-16SQ cards must be positioned with their heat sinks facing the
graphics cards (see Diagram 2).
•You can have multiple groups of Avant-16SQ cards and graphics cards but
for a video to be displayed on a graphics card, the video source must be
connected to a Avant-16SQ card that is connected to the graphics card.
Up to sixteen videos can be displayed on a screen simultaneously
Install and configure all the required graphics cards in the system, carefully
following the installation instructions. Ensure that your multi-screen system is
working correctly before installing the Avant-16SQ card.
Note:
You are likely to need a flat blade and a Phillips head screwdriver for the
intallation so please ensure you have these to hand before you begin.
•Power down your complete system (including peripherals) at the PC
and the main power supply.
•Disconnect all the cables connected to the PC, noting the positions
for correct reconnection after the Avant-16SQ card is installed.
Carefully remove the cover from your PC.
•Locate an available PCI slot to install your Avant-16SQ card next to
your graphics card.
•Holding the card firmly by its top edge at each end of the card’s
length, slide it into the slot. Care should be taken when sliding the
card into the PCI slot.
•Using the retaining screw, secure the bracket to the back panel.
Connect the SIP-Cable from the Avant-16SQ card to graphics cards. The
headers on the Avant-16SQ cards are marked J8 and J9 and should be
connected to the graphics cards as follows:
8
Connect the J8 header on the Avant-16SQ to the J7 headers on the graphics
card.
The diagram (1) on the following page shows the location of the headers on
each of the cards:

How To Connect Video Inputs
Diagram 3
Composite inputs are connected to the top splitter cable.
The Luma part of a S-Video input is connected to the top splitter cable and the
chroma part is connected to the corresponding connector on the bottom splitter
cable.
If you are using a single Avant-16SQ, the input numbers specified in the
software correspond to the labels on the splitter cable. (1-16)
If you have connected more than one Avant-16SQ, connect inputs 1-16 to the
Avant-16SQ closest to the graphics card. Connect inputs 17-32 to the next
Avant card and so on.
Avant-16SQ card provides the 75ohm termination for each input. The links
should be fitted to apply termination. (All links are fitted as standard.)
