This system has been developed to provide a flexible and uniform connectivity architecture between RipExpress or PrintExpress and recorders from many manufactures. Up to 16 recorders can be daisy chained off a single RipExpress or Laserplex output channel.
Recorders can be imagesetters, CTP devices or proofers. The system consists of a Laserbus interface in the RIP which is supplied with the RipExpress package and is designed for use on PCI bus PC and Sun platforms. This connects via a Laserbus cable to a Personality Interface in, or external to the recorder(s).
The Personality Interface, which differs for each recorder type, converts the recorders native communication protocols into those of Laserbus. This allows recorders of different types to sit on a single Laserbus. New Personality Interface types are constantly being added to the list.
Cables for Laserbus can be ordered in various lengths up to 50 metres depending on the recorder speed. Laserbus installation kits are available which allow connection of additional recorders to a single Laserbus.
