12 DVCPRO Upgrade Installation
Installation Summary
Master and Slave EDR Memory Requirements
The DVCPRO upgrade requires 64-megabyte s of memory on both the Master and
the Slave Enhanced Disk Recorder (EDR) Boards. If you order ed your PDR200
recently, the Master and Slave EDR boards already have 64 megabytes of
memory. If you have an earlier model (seri al number B029999 or below), you
must install additional memo ry if you have not done s o already. To see the amount
of memory you have on the Master and Slave EDR boards, check in the Profile
Log for messages regarding memory size. To vie w the Profile Log, double click
the Profile Log shortcut on the Windows NT 4.0 desktop . If your Profile system
has been running for a long time, the text regar ding memory size may have
scrolled out of th e Profile Log . In this ca se, you can re boot the Profi le sy stem and
check the Profile Log again.
If your system does not have the required memory, you will need two service
kits— one kit for the Master and one for the Slave—each with two 32-megabyte
SIMMs.
If you normally opera te with a large video file system (greater than 2500 clips as
might be the case in commercial cache applications) Grass Valley Group
recommends that you have 32 megabytes of local memory installed for the i960
real-time system (RTS) proc essor on the Master EDR board to enhance system
performance. If you ordered your PDR200 recently, you already have
32 megabytes of i960 local memory i nstalle d. If you ha ve an earli er model (ser ial
number B039999 or below), you should install ad ditional memory if you have not
done so already. Check the Profile Log for messages r egarding RTS memory size.
If your system does not have 32-megabytes of real time system (RTS) processor
memory, you will need one kit for this upgrade, c ontaining one 32-megabyte
SIMM, replacing the existing 16-megabyte SIMM.
NOTE: You should have obtained service kits for these memor y upgrades at
the same time yo u received the DV CPR O up grad e k it. If you ne ed to insta l l
these memory upgrades, do so before installing the DVCPRO boards. Refer
to the procedures in the memory kits for speci fic instructions. If for some
reason you have not obtained the kits, contact your Grass Valley Group
representative.

DVCPRO Operational Considerations
This section describes DVCPRO operational issues which you need to consider
when placing your Profile syst em back into ope ration after completing the
upgrade. These include:
• DVCPRO System Timing Considerations
• Restrictions When Using JPEG and DVCPRO
DVCPRO System Timing Considerations
The DVCPRO 25 co decs used in Pr ofile syst ems are a ctually pai rs of codecs.
Because of t his paired codec archite cture, so me restric tions apply to the DVCPRO
codecs which require the following system timing limitations:
1. You must supply a Reference In signal to the Profile system.
2. All video signals that you want to record with a DVCPRO codec must be
synchronous with the Reference In signal.
3. If you want to use the DVCPRO 2 5 codecs a s indepe ndent codecs, all of your
video inputs must be auto-timed to the Refer ence input. In Configuration
Manager, se le ct Enab l e Au to-T im ing fo r each i npu t. Y ou must en s ure that
each input actual ly auto-tim es by checking that the Auto-Tim ed indic ator in
the Video Input dialog box is lit. Refer to “Using the Profile Configuration
Manager” in the Profile Family User Manual for more information on
Auto-Timing.
4. If you are unable to auto-time an input , or if you wish to use the DVCPRO
codecs for BVW Insert/Edit operations , you may onl y use one of the codec s
from each pair, DVCPRO25 #1, DVCPRO25 #3, and DVCPRO25 #5. Note
that the second DVCPRO25 codec from each pair must not be used
(DVCPRO25 #2, DVCPRO25 #4, and DVCPRO25 #6).
16 DVCPRO Upgrade Installation
Restrictions When Using JPEG and DVCPRO
Restrictions When Using JPEG and DVCPRO
After completing the DVCPRO upgrade, the JPEG Codecs on the Master and
Slave Enhan ce d Di sk Re co rder boards remai n availab l e as res ou rces for
record/play channels or for transcoding clips between JPEG and DVCPRO. In
some configurati ons, the operation of one of the JPEG codecs may be restr icted as
follows:
- When both JPEG #2 and DVCPRO25 #4 are used, they must both be
connected to the sa me video input vi a the internal vi deo crosspoint r outer,
otherwise, the wrong video input may be recorded.
When you are using DVCPRO25 #4 and you need to configure a JPEG channel,
use one of the other three JPEG codecs available to avoid any restrictions.

DVCPRO Board Installation
Removing the Profile Unit from the Rack
You can inst all the boa rds with the Profi le chassis fully e xtended on the rack s lides
if the instrument rack is adequately anchored to prevent tipping, and if the re is
sufficient slac k in the cabl es connected to the rear panel to allow the chassis to
fully extend on the slides. If you decide to keep the c hassis in the rack during the
installati on, it is a good idea to loosen any screws that need to be removed from
the back of the Profile unit before s lidi ng it forwa rd on the r acks. You wi ll have to
read the appropriate installation procedure first to determine which screws must
be loosened.
WARNING: Unless the instrument rack is adequately anchored, the rack
!
could tip when the chassis is extended on the rack slides. To avoid possible
injury, make sure the rack is secured firmly before extending the Profile
chassis on the rack slides.
If you cannot or do not want to install DVCPRO boards with the Profile chassis
extended on the rack slide s, use the following procedure to remove the unit f r om
the instrument rack:
1. Remove all cables connected to the rear of the Profile unit. If you have not
done so already, label all cable s before removing them to make it easier to
reconnect them later.
2. Loosen the front-panel r etaining screw (Êin Figure 1).
3. Grasp the handles and pull the chassis out (Ë in Figure 1) until the slides
latch. This holds the Profile chassis firmly in position.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury, at least two people must remove the
!
Profile chassis from the rack—it is too heavy for one person to lift.
4. With a person on each side of the unit, press in both track stop latch buttons
(Ì in Figure 1) and care fully s lide the Prof ile c hassis free of the tr acks (Í in
Figure 1).
5. Place the Pro f ile u nit on an ESD -p rot ect e d wo rk surface.
NOTE: Now is probably a good time to clean the front filter of your Profile
unit. With a strong vacuum, you can clean the filter through the front cover.
