Concurrent Multiple Video Outputs
You can access one single channel and thus activate the video data outputs of another or several
channels at the same time. That is, when a channel is selected in the Selection Menu, the other
pre-configured channel(s) automatically output video data to subsequent user stations. This
function is called “Multiple Video” or “Port-Following Switch.” It is especially useful if you have
a multi-channel video server, or intend to set up a TV wall in the Paragon II system.
Performing this function requires the channel association to be configured in Paragon Manager.
Only the administrator is allowed to set up the channel association. If the desired association has
not been configured, contact your Paragon II system administrator.
Illustration Example:
Four channels (numbers 2, 4, 6 and 7) of Paragon II system are connected to the same server
which has multiple video ports. The Paragon administrator has configured these four channels as
an association group in Paragon Manager, and Channel 4 is set as the “first” channel.
In this example, you use the user station attached to the user port #2 to access the “first”
channel – Channel 4. When you do this, channels 2, 6 and 7 will automatically output their video
data to user stations subsequent to your user station, which are 3, 4 and 5.

Note: Depending on your purpose, the associated channels can also be connected to different
servers and output the video data accordingly.
