DEVICE OVERVIEW
1. Device Overview
The VersAtive®Pro, DigiVu® II and DigiStream 1RU series, referred to as Devices in this manual, are built in identical chassis
but with different input and processing capabilities. Each model, while very similar in layout, may be identi ed by its unique
from panel labelling.
• VersAtivePro is a transcoder using IP input content (but may also have Analog or SDI Capture Cards eld installed).
• DigiVu II is an encoder using Analog and SDI input Capture Cards for content.
• DigiStream is a EPG creation and content streaming device (but may also have Analog Capture Cards installed).
Installation and network and Capture Card connections for each device are similar and are covered in this manual.

1.3 Device Initial Confi guration
NOTE: Each individual Device must have default Management (eth0) port IP address changed
from 192.168.0.23 before connecting them to the Management Switch.
Each of the Devices are factory con gured with identical eth0 Management Port IP addresses. It is important to understand
that the standard ATX Networks default IP address of 192.168.0.23 for management is assigned to all products. Before
connecting each management port to the management switch, the IP addresses must be re-con gured.

INSTALLATION
4. Installation
This chapter provides a guide to get your Device up and running. Following these steps should enable you to have the system
operational within a minimum amount of time.
4.1 Chapter Contents
• “Preparation for Installation”
• “Precautions”
• “General Mechanical”
• “Gigabit Ethernet Ports”
• “Install the Chassis in a Rack”
• “Equipment Safety Grounding”
• “Power Supplies”
• “Ethernet Cabling”
CHAPTER 4: INSTALLATION
4.2 Preparation for Installation
Carefully unpack the equipment from the shipping box. If the box or equipment is damaged, notify the freight company to make
a damage claim. If you suspect that there is a problem with the equipment that may preclude safe operation, do not install or
operate it. Contact ATX Networks immediately for instructions.
NOTE: This equipment is intended for installation in a RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATION only.
NOTE: This equipment is NOT for use in a computer room as defi ned in the Standard for Protection
of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.
NOTE: This equipment is intended for use in a fi xed position and should be installed securely
before operation is initiated.
4.3 Precautions
4.3.1 Electrical Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the Device chassis from damage:
• Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as the room’s emergency power-off switch,
disconnection switch or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the
system.
• Power should always be disconnected from the system when servicing. When disconnecting power, you should rst
power down the operating system rst and then unplug the power cords. The unit has more than one power supply
cord. Disconnect two power supply cords before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar with the power-off controls should
be nearby to switch off the power if necessary.
• Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to avoid making a complete circuit,
which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical
components or circuit boards they come into contact with.
• Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from electrical shock. Instead, use
rubber mats that have been speci cally designed as electrical insulators.
• The power supply power cords must include a grounding pin and must be plugged into grounded electrical outlets.
• Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal conductors that can create short
VersAtive®Pro, DigiVu® II, DigiStream – 1RU Hardware Interface Manual 4-1
Page 20
CHAPTER 4: INSTALLATION
circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.
• This product may be connected to an IT power system. In all cases, make sure that the unit is also reliably connected
to Earth (ground).
4.3.2 General Precautions
• The Devices weighs approximately 25 lbs (11.3kg) when fully loaded. When lifting the system, two people should lift
slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs.
• While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can
come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan.
• After accessing the inside of the Device, close the chassis back up and secure it to the rack unit with the retention
screws and ensure that all connections have been made.
4.3.3 Chassis Precautions
• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
• Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack rst, and then work up.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the Device from power surges, voltage spikes and to
keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
• Allow any power supply modules to cool before touching them.
4.3.4 Rack Precautions
• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the oor with the full weight of the rack
resting on them.
• In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack installations, the racks should
be coupled together.
4.4 General Mechanical
• The equipment will require 1RU of vertical rack space and may be mounted directly above or below other equipment
without providing space between, however, 1RU space should be maintained from other equipment which generates
signicant heat. Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to work on the chassis (~25 inches) and
approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufcient airow and ease of servicing.
• Be sure to maintain freedom of air movement around equipment. Installation of the equipment in enclosed racks
is not recommended due restricted air ow. The equipment is designed to operate to specication in an ambient
temperature of +10°C to +35°C (+50°F to +95°F). Normal room temperature is recommended to ensure proper long
term operation of the equipment.
• Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the mains power and the effect that any possible
overloading of circuits might have on over current protection and wiring.
• Rear support of the unit is mandatory and rails for attachment to rear supports are provided. Do not use the unit
chassis to support other equipment. Alternately, if rear support rails are unavailable or impractical, install the unit on
a well supported shelf.
4.5 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The input ports eth1, eth2, eth3, eth4, eth5 are auto-negotiating and intended to be connected to a network distribution switch
using straight through wired Cat5e or better quality cable. The rear panel Management Interface port allows connection to a
notebook or desktop PC for managing and conguring the system. The port may be connected to directly, or in the case of
a headend with many devices to manage, may be connected to a management network (recommended) or the distribution
switch containing the video stream content. It is possible to set up virtual ports for a VLAN. Connections should be made with
Cat5e or better network cables. The GigE management port is auto-negotiating and should be connected to a switch or router
with a straight through wired cable. Direct connection to a PC may be made with the supplied crossover cable.

4.6 Install the Chassis in a Rack
This section provides information on installing the Device chassis in a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety of
rack units on the market, which may mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You
should also refer to the installation instructions or adapt these instructions to suit the rack unit you are using.
NOTE: The illustrations in Figure 4-4 and Figure 4-5 are for general guidance purposes only.
Always install the Device chassis to the bottom of the rack fi rst to avoid the rack becoming top
heavy.
4.6.1 Identifying the Rack Rail Sections
The Device chassis includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each assembly consists of two sections: An inner
chassis rail secured to the chassis (front part is factory installed, extension is eld installed), an outer rail that secures to the
rack, and an outer rail extension that secures directly to the rear vertical support, Figure 4-1. Each of these assemblies are
designed for mounting universally on the left or right side of the chassis.
NOTE: This rail will fi t a rack between 26” and 33.5” deep.

4.7 Equipment Safety Grounding
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections
other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips). The following guidelines are provided to clarify
the requirements for the installation to meet UL, CUL and CB standards. The use of the words “Ground” and “Earth” as well as
“Grounding” and “Earthing” may be used interchangeably and in this context, have the same meaning.
NOTE: It is imperative that the encoder chassis be connected to a permanent building ground to
comply with UL, CUL and CB standards.
It is important that the Device housing and power supplies be connected to a permanent building ground in a manner that
will ensure that the exposed metal parts are constantly connected to ground through independent means even when the
power supply cord or wires may be disconnected temporarily. Ground connections screws are provided on the rear panel to
conveniently effect such a connection, Figure 4-6.
4.7.1 Ground Connection to Earth
The supplementary equipment grounding conductor is to be installed between the rear panel ground screws and earth, that
is, in addition to the equipment ground conductor in the power supply cord or wires. The screw terminals provided for this
connection are located on the rear panel adjacent to the power supplies and one each on the DC power supply modules (if
equipped) as shown in Figure 4-6.
CHAPTER 4: INSTALLATION
Figure 4-6: Recommended Equipment Safety Ground Connections
4.7.2 Ground Conductor Size
The supplementary equipment grounding conductor may not be smaller in size than the branch-circuit supply conductors
or a minimum #14 AWG. The supplementary equipment grounding conductor is to be connected at the rear panel terminal
provided, and connected to earth in a manner that will retain the earth connection when the power supply cord is unplugged.
The connection to earth of the supplementary grounding conductor shall be in compliance with the appropriate rules for
terminating bonding jumpers in Part V of Article 250 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and Section 10 of Part I
of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1.
4.7.3 Ground Conductor Termination
Termination of the supplementary equipment grounding conductor may be made to building steel, to a metal electrical raceway
system, or to any grounded item that is permanently and reliably connected to the electrical service equipment earth.
4.7.4 Ground Conductor Type

4.8 Power Supplies
Power supplies for AC and DC operation are available as options and each may be ordered in a redundant supply version.
The following points must be taken into account when installing the Device and connecting power.
4.8.1 AC Power Supplies
Both the standard single power supply and the optional redundant AC power supplies are auto-sensing switching type power
supply systems which may be operated on input voltages from 115 VAC to 230 VAC. There is no need to con gure the power
supplies to operate on any voltage in this range. Power cords appropriate to the locale are supplied.
Figure 4-7: Single AC Power Supply
4.8.2 DC Power Supply and Termination
The optional redundant DC switching type power supply system is intended to operate on nominal -48 VDC power systems
but functions between -40 and -72 VDC. A pair of insulated #12 AWG DC power wires must be eld installed for each of the
two modules using permanent wiring methods. Wire insulation colors must be different for each of the two conductors clearly
indicating the polarity of the voltage, see Figure 4-9. It is recommended that stranded conductors be used for DC power and
that RED wire be used for the 0V conductor and BLACK for the -48V conductor. Ring or spade terminals may be used and it
is also permissible to strip the wire 8mm, twist the stranded conductors tightly and clamp the wire in the provided wire clamp
as illustrated in Figure 4-9.

4.8.3 DC Power Disconnect
Each DC power module should be externally fused or otherwise adequately protected at no more that 10 Amperes and
must be provided with it’s own external readily accessible disconnect device. Each disconnect must be prominently labeled
indicating the units being powered and with adequate instructions for the removal of all power from the unit being serviced.
The disconnect must be turned off for BOTH power modules before removing supply wires from the module terminal blocks
when replacing a power supply module or otherwise servicing the unit.
4.8.4 Power Supply Redundancy
For the redundant power supply options, either power module on its own can provide the required power safely if one fails. To
retain the redundancy feature, replace a failed power module as soon as possible. A power module failure or the failure of the
supply current or protection fuse will be indicated by an audible alarm within the encoder power modules and the green power
status LED on the power module will be extinguished. Silence the audible alarm with the red rear panel Alarm Reset switch
adjacent to the power supply modules, Figure 4-10.

4.8.5 Redundant Power Module Replacement
AC Version
NOTE: The power cords for BOTH power modules must be disconnected before attempting to
remove the power modules or otherwise servicing the unit.
Power module failure will be indicated by the alarm being sounded and the green status light on the module will no longer be
lit. This power module may be replaced by rst disconnecting the AC power cord from the IEC input socket of BOTH power
modules, then release the module by pressing down on the thumb latch at the top of each module. Extract the module and
replace with an identical replacement module only.
DC Version
NOTE: The external disconnect for BOTH power modules must be turned off before attempting
to disconnect the DC wiring from the power module terminals or otherwise servicing the unit.
Power module failure will be indicated by the alarm being sounded and the green status light on the module will no longer be
lit. This power module may be replaced by rst disconnecting the DC power at the external disconnect device for BOTH power
modules then use a Phillips screw driver to remove the DC wires from the failed module terminals. Release the module by
pressing down on the thumb latch at the top of each module and extract the module. Replace with an identical replacement
module only.
CHAPTER 4: INSTALLATION
4.8.6 Power Cord Protection
Measures must be taken during installation to route or arrange the power supply cords or wires to prevent physical damage
and to avoid the possibility of future damage occurring. The cords shall be installed and routed such that, throughout it’s
length, the cord and it’s points of connection are not strained in any way.
4.8.7 Power Cord Attachment
The unit AC power supply cords shall not be attached to a building surface, bundled with audio, video or RF coaxial cables,
nor run through walls, ceilings, oors and similar openings in the building structure.
4.8.8 Provision of Electrical Power Outlet
An AC electrical power outlet of appropriate type and rating shall be provided near the location where the unit is installed
and easily accessible such that the provided power supply cords may be routed in an appropriate manner, without the use of
extension cords, between the receptacle and the chassis. Alternately, the chassis shall be installed in close proximity to an
existing AC electrical outlet such that the requirements of this paragraph are achieved.
4.8.9 IEC Power Input Cord for AC
The AC power input receptacle is a standard IEC C13 connector similar to that commonly used on computers and monitors.
The power cords provided with the product is a North American con guration with a NEMA 5-15 grounded plug for 115 VAC.
If it is necessary to operate the product on 230 VAC, the installer must obtain IEC cords with a NEMA 6-15 grounded plug for
use in North America. This may be obtained at time of order from ATX Networks or locally. If shipped outside of North America,
the encoder will be supplied with an IEC cord set appropriate for the locale to which it is shipped.
4.8.10 Input Power Requirements
When installing the equipment, it is the responsibility of the installer to determine that suf cient capacity is available in the
electrical circuit feeding the unit to avoid overloading the supply circuit. The AC model will require power to be supplied from a
properly grounded AC outlet. The installer shall determine that the AC power outlet, its wiring and receptacle is in compliance
with local and/or national electrical codes as applicable. The AC input power requirement is constant over the range of input
voltages. At higher input voltages, the current consumption is lower than it is at lower voltages where the input current is higher.
4.8.11 Fusing
Internal over-current protection is built in to the power modules. There is no internal fuse to be replaced or maintained on either
the AC or DC versions. Each DC power supply, if installed, should be externally fused at no more that 10 Amperes.
