Section 2

— General Information

Fan

Cooling the Computing Chassis interior is accomplished by a fan mounted on the rear panel. Fan power is +12 VDC from the DC Power Supply through the Backplane. Ambient air is drawn in through a filter in the front and warm interior air is exhausted out the rear of the chassis.

DC Power Supply

The DC Power Supply is mounted on the right-hand side of the Computing Chassis. It receives 115/230 VAC power from the AC line connector on the Input Power Filter Housing at the rear of the chassis. The Power Supply provides the +5 and ±12 VDC voltages required by the Editor. These outputs are distributed to other components through the Backplane.

Backplane

This is a printed circuit board mounted vertically at the interior rear of the chassis. The interior side of the Backplane has connectors which interface power and signals for the Computing Chassis components. For all the Editors, inputs/outputs for external devices are interfaced to the Backplane by connectors attached to its exterior side. These connectors extend through slots on the rear panel. For the VPE-351, the Expansion Chassis provides additional interfaces for external devices.

Figure 2-2 shows the rear panel of the Computing Chassis. Backplane connectors provide signal interfaces between the Computing Chassis, the Keyboard, the Monitor, peripheral devices, and, for the VPE-351, the Expansion Chassis. Backplane Connectors are:

K5 Keyboard (VPE-351 Only)

The K5 Keyboard, illustrated in Figure 2-6, consists of an expanded keyboard and a separate Jogger panel. The expanded keyboard has special function keys which replace multiple keystrokes which would otherwise be needed with other keyboards. This Keyboard has three connectors on its rear panel. One is for the cable which connects to the Expansion Chassis and one is for the cable from the Jogger panel. The third connector is for power to the Keyboard and, through the Keyboard, to the Jogger panel.

The Jogger panel has a Jog Knob and keys which are duplicates of those on the Keyboard. It also has a direction (forward/reverse) and speed indicator. The Jogger panel is normally connected to the Keyboard and, when so connected, receives power from it. However, the Jogger panel may be connected to the Jogger connector on the Expansion Chassis and then receives power from the Editor.

Editor Installation

Installing your Editor consists of installing the Computing Chassis and, for a VPE-351, the Expansion Chassis; placing the Keyboard in the work space; and then making the power cord and signal cable connections. These are discussed in turn on the following pages.

3-2

Installing The Computing Chassis

In installing the Computing Chassis, the first thing to determine is whether it is to be mounted in an equipment rack or placed on a console or table top.

Console or Table Top Installation

If the Chassis is to be placed on a console or table top, you may want to protect that surface by installing the four rubber feet provided as illustrated in Figure 3-1. To install the rubber feet, refer to Figure 3-1 and perform the following procedure:

1. Locate the bag containing four grey mounting feet and remove them from the bag.

2. Carefully turn the Computing Chassis over and place it on a flat level work area on its top side.

3. One at a time, remove the backing from each foot and firmly press into place approximately 1" in from each side at the corners on the bottom plate. (See Figure 3-1.)

Placing The Keyboard

The Keyboard is essentially the control panel in the editing environment. As such, you want to place it in a central location where other equipment is both visually and physically at hand. Ensure that it is within 16 meters (approximately 52 feet) of the Computing Chassis and, if using the optional K5 Keyboard, within 2 meters (6 feet) of a power source.

NOTE: If you are using the K2 Keyboard extension cable, you must attach the cable grounding wire to an earth ground.

3-8

Making The Connections

For the VPE-300 Series, connections are made at connectors on the rear panel of the Computing Chassis. For the VPE-351, additional connections are made to the Expansion Chassis. Also, for a VPE-351 using the K5 Keyboard, connection for that Keyboard is made on the Expansion Chassis. Appendix E contains some typical interconnecting diagrams.

Computing Chassis Connections

Figure 3-6 illustrates the rear panel of the Computing Chassis and identifies the connections which will be made to it. To make these connections, refer to Figure 3-6 and proceed as follows:

Making The Connections

CAUTION

Ensure that the routing of signal cables and power cords does not present a hazard to personnel or equipment.

1. Ensure that power switches of all equipment to be connected are OFF.

2. Connect AC power cords of all equipment to AC power outlets.

NOTE: The remainder of this procedure is the suggested order of making connections. However, there is no recommended priority for connections.

3. If you have a Character Generator, attach the signal cable from it to the CHR GEN connector.

Note that a QC value of -1 tells Super Edit™ to make every attempt to synchronize the machine right up to the IN-point, but DO NOT abort the edit if the source is not properly positioned. The edit will occur and, based on the machine assignment, Super Edit™ will attempt to have the source properly positioned for the event. The QC value you entered appears on the line with the selected device and the system prompts:

VID XPNT = ?

Before making video crosspoint assignments, note the following items:

■ Color bars, digital effects systems, cameras, and other special video

signals can also be assigned to switcher crosspoints.

■ For E-E previewing, the R-VTR cannot be changed from crosspoint

zero.

If during the Start-up Sequence the Super Edit Main Menu did not appear on the Monitor, the checks listed below and discussed on the following pages are starting points for Installation Troubleshooting. Note that if you suspect the software is the problem, re-install system software before proceeding. See Appendix F for the System Software Installation procedure.

Installation Troubleshooting

■ Chassis front panel status indicators

■ Program failed to execute

■ Switches not set correctly

■ Jumpers not placed correctly

NOTE: Make notes of all troubleshooting activities. They will help service personnel in the event that more detailed troubleshooting is required.

Front Panel Status Indicators

There are six (6) LEDs visible at the front panel. These LEDs provide a quick check of the Editor status. Figure 3-15 shows their locations and the following is a brief description of them. (The Service Information Manual contains a more detailed description of these LEDs.)

■ PGM (Program) - This green LED is not normally lit. It lights to

indicate successful completion of the PROM-based self-test.

■ NO SYNC - This red LED is not normally lit. If lit, it indicates that

either house sync is not connected or has been lost.

■ DC LOW - This red LED is not normally lit. If lit, it indicates that the

+5 VDC output of the DC Power Supply is not within proper operating range.

Section 3

— Installing The Editor

■ FAIL - This red LED is not normally lit. If lit, it indicates that the

microprocessor failed its internal start-up diagnostics.

■ RUN - This green LED is normally lit. If not, the RUN/HALT toggle

switch on the SBC board may be in the wrong (HALT) position.

■ POWER - This red LED is normally lit when the power switch is in

the On position.

4. Keyboard Sensitivity Adjustment

Note that the K3 keyboard sensitivity adjustment does not require routine adjustment. Erratic or unreliable operation may be a symptom of an actual fault with the keyboard. Refer to “Tips on using the Touch Control Jogger” supplied with your keyboard.

Some versions of the K3 keyboard will have two holes in the bottom cover. One hole is located over the internal reset switch, and one hole is above the sensitivity adjustment potentiometer. If you have a keyboard with two holes in the bottom cover, proceed to Step 5; if not, complete following steps:

CAUTION

To prevent static damage to sensitive components, use a grounded wrist strap, mat, and tools when handling components and printed circuit modules.

1.Turn the system power OFF, disconnect the keyboard from the editor, and place the keyboard on a static-free work surface where you can disassemble it.

2.Position the keyboard on a stable padded surface, and remove the six screws that hold the bottom cover onto the plastic housing.

3.Lift the bottom cover by rotating the bottom edge upward, and turn it over. Note that there are three cables attached between the cover and the module assembly.

4.Reconnect the keyboard cable.

5.Locate R53 in the upper right corner of the keyboard module. R53 is located beneath the right-most hole on the “two-holed” keyboard systems. Located to the left of R53 is an LED that will assist this adjustment procedure.

6.Firmly grasp the outer ring of the jog knob, but do not touch the metal center. Adjust R53 anti-clockwise until the LED lights. Then slowly adjust R53 clockwise slightly until the LED flickers off.

7.For the keyboards with two holes in the bottom cover, the adjustment procedure is complete. For the keyboards that require the bottom cover to be removed, replace the six screws that secure the cover to the keyboard case.

C-4

Should this procedure not correct your operational problem, please contact Editware Customer Service.

Appendix C: K3 Keyboard Information

5. Uploading/Re-uploading Keyboard Software

Note that you should not have to re-upload keyboard software as your K3 Keyboard was shipped with software already uploaded. However, if a problem occurs or if you receive an updated version of keyboard software, use the following procedure to upload/re-upload keyboard software.

1.Insert the supplied K3 Keyboard disk into DFØ.

2.Disconnect the keyboard. While re-connecting the keyboard cable, simultaneously hold the [2] key down and press the reset button, located on the back of the K3 keyboard case.

The software takes 1 to 2 minutes to upload and the Super Edit Main Menu appears. Note that this procedure does not erase your EDL or adversely affect the Super Edit program currently running.

6. Troubleshooting After Downloading

If the Super Edit Main Menu does not appear after any of the download procedures given above, perform the following:

1.Disconnect and then re-connect the K3 Keyboard.

2.Perform the full re-load procedure listed in Item 5 above.

3.If a problem still exists, and a K2 Keyboard is available:

a. Disconnect the K3 Keyboard.

b. Connect the K2 Keyboard.

c. Access the RT-11 prompt (RT>).

d. At the RT-11 prompt, enter @DF:LOADKB and press [ENTER].

e. Disconnect the K2 Keyboard.

f. Re-connect the K3 keyboard while simultaneously hold the [2]

key down and press the reset button, located on the back of the K3 keyboard case.

Appendix C: K3 Keyboard Information

7. Internal Keyboard DIP Switch Settings

There are two internal keyboard DIP switches: SW1 and SW2. Each DIP switch consists of 8 switches identified as SW1-1 through SW1-8 and SW2-1 through SW2-8. A switch is Off or Open and On or Closed.

For SW1, normal settings: SW1-1 and SW1-6 through SW8 Off; SW1-2 through SW1-5 On. It is recommended that these settings not be changed.

For SW2, SW2-1, SW2-7, and SW2-8 are not used. Functions of the remaining SW2 switches are described as follows:

SW2-2 Off selects a normal Split when the [SPLIT] key is pressed; On selects Alt Split when the [SPLIT] key is pressed.

SW2-3 with an 8466, Off provides normal audio control. If level control is reversed, On corrects direction.

SW2-4 Off inhibits output of slide volume control data.

SW2-5 provides normal green key mapping (i.e., R, A, B, etc.) On remaps these keys to A, B, C, . . ., R.

SW2-6 Off inhibits request of status reports from Super Edit.

2. Keyboard Sensitivity Adjustment

Note that the K2 keyboard sensitivity adjustment does not require routine adjustment. Erratic or unreliable operation may be a symptom of an actual fault with the keyboard. Refer to “Tips on using the Touch Control Jogger” supplied with your keyboard. However, if your keyboard is responding erratically, complete the following adjustment procedure:

CAUTION

To prevent static damage to sensitive components, use a grounded wrist strap, mat, and tools when handling components and printed circuit modules.

1.Turn the system power OFF; disconnect the keyboard from the editor, and place the keyboard on a static-free work surface where you can disassemble it.

2.Position the keyboard on a stable padded surface, and remove the jog knob. To do so, pull off the rubber ring that surrounds the knob and use a 1/16” hex wrench to loosen the 2 set screws inside the rim of the knob. Then lift the knob off the shaft. (The knob may be snug; use a firm grip.)

3.Turn the keyboard upside down and remove the six screws that hold the bottom cover onto the plastic housing.

4.Remove the bottom cover.

5.Reconnect the keyboard cable.

6.Locate the small hole in the lower left corner of the Keyboard module to the right of the “Softpot” Jogger assembly. Through this hole, the trim pot used to light the LED can be adjusted. Located near the hole is an LED that will assist this adjustment procedure.

7.Firmly grasp the outer ring of the jog knob, but do not touch the metal center. Adjust the trim pot anti-clockwise until the LED lights. Then slowly adjust the trim pot clockwise slightly until the LED just flickers off.

Introduction

Appendix F: System Software Installation

This appendix provides detailed instructions on how to install Super Edit™ software. It is provided here in the event that your Editor fails to boot up when it is turned on. That is, the Main Menu as described in Section 3, Turning Power On, does not appear. Or these instructions may be used in the event the program crashes.

Installing System Software

Note that Super Edit™ is on two (2) Floppy Disks.

The procedure to initially install Super Edit™ software is as follows:

1. Insure that the WRITE ENABLE/DISABLE tabs on the disks are in the WRITE ENABLE (down or closed) position.

NOTE: Upon receipt of the Super Edit™ software, it is recommended that the UTILITIES, and PROGRAM disks be duplicated for your software library archives.

2. From the Main Menu, press [←] until the RT prompt (RT>) appears.

3. Insert the floppy disk labeled UTILITIES into the DFØ Floppy Disk drive (the slot on the right).

F-1

Appendix F: System Software Installation

4. Enter BOO DF: and then press [RETURN]. This re-boots the system from the Floppy Disk and begins program installation.

5. You are given a choice of doing anUPDATE, an INSTAL or you may answer NO to both and install the system on RAM DISK.

An UPDATE only copies all files necessary to update to the latest version of Super Edit™ ; all other files remain untouched on the system disk. (This is the usual way to update to the latest version.)

An INSTAL erases all files on the system disk. That is, all config files, EDL files, and macros currently on the system disk will be lost. This choice is used to return the system to the state it was in from the factory. (If your system is in an unknown state, or if you prefer starting from scratch, select INSTAL. However, do remember that all files on the system disk will be erased.)

Installing to RAM Disk is not intended for normal operation. In this option, the system software is put into battery-backed RAM rather than on the Hard Drive. If the Hard Drive should fail, chose this option. The installation process is the same as given below.

6. The installation process begins. During installation, various messages appear on the screen and some files are copied to the system disk. Once these files have been copied, the system boots to the system disk to complete the installation process and more files are copied to the system disk.

You will then be prompted to insert the PROGRAM disk. This disk contains the Super Edit™ files.

7. At the prompt, remove the UTILITIES disk from DFØ: and replace it with the disk labeled PROGRAM. The system prompts:

PRESS ENTER OR RET WHEN READY.

8. Press [ENTER] or [RETURN]. The Super Edit™ files are then copied to the system disk (or RAM).

9. After all files have been copied, the system boots to the Main Menu. At this point, installation of the software is complete and the system is ready to use. Remove program disk, and store appropriately.
