3.5 Installation requirements

Environmental conditions

The unit must always be mounted in a manner which ensures both air inlets and outlets are free. For
installations in environments where the device is subject to excessive dust, it is highly advisable to take
measures to prevent the dust from reaching the unit. If this is not a feasible, then the unit should be relocated
to a different dust-free location.

It is the customer's responsibility to ensure at all times that the device is protected from the harmful effects of
hostile airborne particles in the environment of the device. The manufacturer reserves the right to refuse repair
if a device has been subject to negligence, abandon or improper use.

The table below summarizes the physical environment in which the ImagePRO– 4K video processor may be
safely operated or stored.

General

Rack-mount installation

The ImagePRO–4K chassis is designed to be rack mounted and is supplied with front rackmount hardware.

The ImagePRO–4K chassis can also be used in a “tabletop” configuration, without rack mounting.

When rack mounting the ImagePRO–4K chassis, remember the following important points:

• The ImagePRO–4K chassis is 1RU in height.

• The maximum ambient operating temperature is 40°C (104°F).

• Leave at least one inch of space (front and rear) to ensure that the airflow through the fan and vent holes is

not restricted.

• When installing multiple units into a rack, distribute them evenly to prevent hazardous conditions that may

be created by uneven weight distribution.

• Connect the unit only to a properly rated supply circuit.

• Reliable grounding (earthing) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

• Rack mount the unit from the front rack ears using four rack screws (not supplied). Threads may be metric

or otherwise, depending upon the rack type.

ImagePRO– 4K units are shipped with side rails included in the shipping case and not installed onto the
chassis. These side rails, when they are properly installed and adjusted, assist with the distribution of chassis
(and cable) weight within your rack. Use the following steps to properly adjust the side rails:

1. Measure and install the two supplied mounting brackets on your rear rack rails.

Image 3-2: Mounting bracket

2. Measure the distance between the front and rear rack rails. Remove the mounting screws that secure each

side rail to the chassis, and then adjust the spacing of each side rail as necessary. The ImagePRO–4K
uses two mounting screws on each side rail.

Image 3-3: ImagePRO–4K chassis with side rail and mounting screws

1. Chassis rear

2. Side rail

3. Mounting screws

3. Re-install the mounting screws. When properly adjusted, the end of each side rail will protrude through the

slot in the rear mounting bracket, once the chassis is rack mounted.

4. Lift the chassis, and while supporting it, slide the side rails through the slots in the rear mounting brackets.

5. While continuing to support the chassis, install and tighten the two lower screws.

6. Finally, install and tighten the two uppers screws in the rack rail.

Cable and adapter information

Genlock input connector

The genlock input supports NTSC and PAL Blackburst, as well as SD bi-level and HD tri-level sync signals,
per SMPTE 274M and SMPTE 296M.

When the ImagePRO– 4K is genlocked and the lock source is lost for some reason, the output of the unit
automatically switches to a “coasting” state without any discernible “glitching” on the output display device.
The user interface still indicates that the genlock source is “Lock to External.” The system does not, however,
automatically relock to the external source. The user must reselect Lock to External. This prevents constant
glitching of the outputs if the genlock source is not stable.

Once the genlock source is restored, the user can then re-select Lock to External to re-lock to the external
source.

Selecting Lock to External may cause the outputs to temporarily glitch, while the system is
synchronizing to the new source. If the genlock source has been permanently removed, it is
advisable to manually switch the system to Freerun to ensure a stable output.
Any time genlock settings are changed, there is a chance of a momentary glitch to the outputs.

Unit Mode

The ImagePRO–4K video processor can operate in one of three unit modes.

• In Standard Program mode, when the operator selects a source from the front panel that source is

automatically transitioned to both Aux outputs.

• In Standard Preview mode the operator can preview the input on the Display screen, before taking it to

program by pressing the Take button.
Note that to preview the selected input on the display screen, the MENU/MON menu key must be set to
monitor mode.

• In Matrix Preview mode the ImagePRO–4K video processor acts as if it were a scaling matrix switcher.

Matrix Preview mode may be selected from the front panel of the unit, but it must be used through the
EMTS GUI.

Standard Program and Standard Preview modes allow for a single input to route to up two Aux channels out.
Because only one source is routed to both Aux channels at the same time, all six inputs can have a 4K60p

R5906167 /00 ImagePRO–4K Video Processor

source connected. The system dynamically allocates input connector capacity as each source is actively
switched. Each output connected to a display must be assigned to one of the two Aux channels. Even though
all six output connectors can possibly show a picture, the output rate and "area of interest" are defined in the
Aux channel(s).

Matrix Preview mode is capable of providing a single input to multiple outputs, as well as multiple inputs to
multiple outputs. Because this mode is capable of routing more than one input to the outputs, the signal
bandwidth capacities for each connector must be defined by the user. Each output can have a different signal
rate from the others, as well as a unique "area of interest."

To select the unit mode…

1. Select Unit Mode on the System menu.

Once Unit Mode is selected, the highlight bar turns from gray to cyan. Turning the adjust knob scrolls
through the available unit modes.
