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.

Installing Additional Upgrade Kits
If you ordered both DVCPRO upgrade kits (PDFDV04 and PDFDV02), you can
install them both at the same time using the procedur es in this manual.
If you have ordered other upgrade kits, such as a video I/O board upgrade or the
Audio Signal Proces sor Board (ASPB) upgrade, you can install them at the sa me
time while the Prof ile ch assis is open .

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.

If you have an Option DV (DVCPRO-ready) PDR200, the circuit boards are
already in the required boa rd slots. All you have to do is install the DVCPRO
boards. Other PDR200 configurations r equire moving boards to other slot
locations to free up the required slots. For this reason, there are three procedures
in this section which give step by step instructions for all the possible PDR200
configurations.
Refer to Table 4 to determine which procedure you should follow, then proceed.

DVCPRO Board Installation
Installing Boards in an Option DV or PDR400 Unit
Follow these instructions to install the DVCPRO boards in a DVCPRO-ready
PDR200 (Option DV), or in a PDR400 system.
1. Remove the three-slotted (five-slotted in PDR400) PCI Interconnect board
and remove all cables connected to Profile boards, such as SCSI, Sharcnet,
or audio clock cables (look at Figure 9 on page 43 if you need help
identifying the Shar cnet and audio clock cables). Label each cable bef ore
removing it and draw a simple diagram to make it easier to reconnect the
cables later. Remove any cable tie wraps, if necessary.
NOTE: Be certain to label the SCSI cables before removing th em so that you
can reconnect them properly. If the A and C SCSI cables are reversed, the file
system will appear to be corrupted.
2. Remove the board bracket for slot J11 if you are installing a four-codec
DVCPRO CODEC board. If you are installing the two-codec DVCPRO
CODEC board, remove the board bracket for J12.
CAUTION: Forcing the board into the slot may result in bent connectors on
!
!
the mother board. Carefully follow the instructions in step 3 to avoid
damaging hardware.
3. Install the four-codec DVCPRO CODEC board (PDFDV04) in slot J11. If
you are installing a two-codec DVCPRO CODEC board (PDFDV02), install
it in J12. To install th e boar d s corre ctl y:
- Align the board with the connectors on the motherboard. Make sure that
the board is in the board guide at the front edge.
- With the extractor on the front end of the board in the up position, press
down on the board firmly until it is seated.

Connecting Audio Clock and Sharcnet Cables
Connecting Audio Clock and Sharcnet Cables
This section describes how to connect coaxial audio clock cables and Sharcnet
ribbon cables between the Audio Signal Proce ssing Boar ds (AS PB) and the vi deo
I/O boards. It includes four cabling examples that cover most DVCPRO
configuration s for the PDR200. If after looking at the cabling examples you still
have a question about how to connect ASPB cabling in your system, refer to
“Detailed Explanation Of ASPB Cabling” on page 50. General guidelines are
given there to help you connect cabl es as requir ed. After you have connected all
the ASPB cables, return to the installation procedure you were following.
Read the following paragraphs which give a brief functional description of the
cables connected to the ASPB, then proceed by looking at the cabling examples.
• Audio Clock Cables - These cables connect the ASPB to the video input
boards. The ASPB uses the clock signals from the video boards as a
reference to synchro nize audio sampling to non-synchronous video feeds.
• Sharcnet Ribbon Cables to Serial Digital Video I/O boards - The Sharcnet
ribbon cables carry the embedded audio signals to and from the ASPB.
• Sharcnet Cables Between ASPBs - If two ASPBs are installed in a unit, they
must be connected together using the se Sharcnet ribbon cables.

Detailed Explanation Of ASPB Cabling
If you are fo llowing one of the cabling examp les, this s ection is for reference on ly.
Read this information if you have questions about the ASPB cabling.
Audio Clock Cabling
When the Profile system records, audio sampling must be r eferenced to t he video
signal, otherwise audio artifacts will occur. The ASPB hardware and Prof ile
software allows the you to select the appropriate audio sample reference for
recording as follo w s:
• When recording synchronous video feeds, use “system clock” derived from
house reference and supplied to the ASPB through its motherboard
connector.
• When recording non-synchronous video feeds, use the reference signal
supplied by the video input card over an Audio Clock coaxial cable
connected t o the AS PB .
Each ASPB has four audio clock input connectors for attaching an audio clock
reference. These connectors are attached by coaxial cable to the video input
boards. The cables carry a 27MHz refere nce signal derived from the video input
to the ASPB. This signal is used as a reference for the audio phase lock loops.

Detailed Explanation Of ASPB Cabling
A single ASPB supports 16 audio channels. These 16 channels are divided into
four audio groups with four audio channe ls in each group. Group 1 consists of
channels 1 to 4. Group 2 consists of channels 5 to 8, and so on up to Group 4.
There is a phase lock l oop and a udio sample cloc k for eac h audio group 1 thr ough
4 as seen in Figure 13. You can also see in Figure 13 how the Reference Select
Crosspoi nt allow s sele ct ion o f the ref eren c e to the A ud io Sa mp l e Phas e L ock
Loops. Profile software allows the user to se lect the appropria te reference for the
Audio Sample Phase Lock Loops, either “system clock” derived from house
reference or one of the four audio clocks derived from video inputs.
When the potentia l for recording non-synchronous video feeds exists, it becomes
important to se lect the cor rect vi deo refe rence and to have the coa xial a udio cl ock
cables connected properly.
Here are the audio clock cabling guidel ines.
• Profile software recognizes and numbers video inputs beginning with
Channel A of the board in the lowest numbered motherboard slot.
• When two ASPBs are installed, ASPB1 is the ASPB in the lower number
board slot and ASPB2 is in the higher numbered slot.
• Profile software refers to the four ASPB audio clock references as
“Video Input 1” through “Video Input 4”.
• ASPB1 audio clocks 1 through 4 should be connected to video inputs 1
through 4.
• ASPB2 audio clocks 1 through 4 should be connected to video inputs 4
through 8, if installed.
• Audi o clock reference s connected to ASPB1 cannot be used by ASPB2. The
opposite is also true, references attached to ASPB2 cannot be used by
ASPB1.
NOTE: Do not connect any audio c lock cables to the connectors on the four
channel Composite Analog Video Output board. These are system clock
connectors and are not used because the ASPB receives system clock through
its motherboard connecto r.
DVCPRO Upgrade Installation 51
DVCPRO Board Installation
If your Profile unit has one ASPB, you can connect only four audio clock
references t o it. If y our Profil e u nit has two ASPBs install ed, a to tal of e ight audio
clocks can be connected.
In practice, if your Pro file unit has more vid eo inputs than the number of ASPB
clock inputs, you should connect audio clocks from video inputs that might
record video that is not genlocked to your house reference.
Any video inputs that are not supplying a record clock to the ASPB should be
locked to your house reference, if audio is to be associated with those inputs.
Otherwise, audio clock errors could occur during recording.
For more information on audio input clocking refer the Audio Configuration
information in the Profile Family User Manual.
Sharcnet Cabling
Serial digital I/ O boards (SDI boards) with Sharcnet connectors have embedded
audio capabilit y. These SDI boa rds extrac t audio fro m incoming vide o, rout e it to
the ASPB, and receive audio output from the ASPB to be embedded in the serial
digital stream. Sharcnet cables are used to route the audio between the ASPB and
SDI boards.
On both the ASPB and SDI board there are Sharcnet In and a Sharcnet Out
connectors. These are shown in Figure 9 on page 43. In general, ASPB Sharcnet
Outs are conn ected to SDI Sharcn et Ins, and ASPB Sharcnet Ins are c onnected to
SDI Sharcnet Outs. Simple enough, but connection order is important.
Here are the guidelines for making the Sharcnet connections:
• Beginning with the ASPB in the lowest numbered slot (ASPB1), Sharcnet
In1/Out1 are connected to Sharcnet Out /In of the serial digital video board
in the lowest numbered slot.
• Next, Sharcnet In2/Out2 are connected to Sharcnet Out/ In of the serial
digital video board in the next higher numbered slot.
• The pattern above continues for ASPB2 if two ASPBs are installed.
• The Exact number of Sharcnet cables will vary depending on how many
serial digital video I/O boards are installed.
• When two ASPBs are installed, Sharcnet Expansion 1 conn ectors on each
board are connected the Sharcnet Expansion 2 connectors on the other.

Board Location Guide
This board l ocation gui de is pro vided to help y ou in stall the DVCPRO boards in a
PDR200 Video File Server that is not an Option DV, that is, not shippe d from the
factory as DVCPRO ready. The board layout for an Option DV PDR200 eases
DVCPRO board installation, but other systems may require that you move
existing boards to accommodate the DVCPRO boards. This guide will help you
do that.
If you move any circuit boar ds, remember that some boards must oc cupy specific
slots, while others can be installed in almost any slot as long as their I/O
requirements are met (see Table 10 on page 57). The board location guide
identifies the vid eo router inputs and outputs of each Profile board currently
available, as well as the input and output connections on the video router
connectors on the motherboard.
This guide provides a general approach to board location. It explains the
relationship between the motherboard and video router connectors and provides
tables, charts and examples to as sist you in installing boards.
Video Router to Motherboard Relationship
Board Location Guide
The video router provides and contr ols video data to twelve connectors on the
motherboard. These video dat a connectors are align ed with the main motherboard
connectors for s lots J5 through J16. Since the Referenc e Genlock (Ref Gen) boar d
must occupy J16 to pro vide the nece ssary syste m clocks, thi s discussi on excl udes
J16.
When choosing a slot for a board, the major constraint f or a slot is how the board
connects to the video router . Not all boards require the same number of video I/O
connections, and not all video dat a connectors provide the same number of video
I/O connections. Therefore, you must know how many input and output
connections the board need s, if any, and the slots available tha t meet those needs.
Table 10 on page 57 lists each of t he boards which may be installed in the Profile
system and the recommended slots, possi ble alternatives, and restrictions f or each
board. If more than one slot is recommended or possible for a board, those slots
are listed in the order of preference.

Video Router I/O Connections
Now let’s look at the video router connections available at slots J5–J15. Table 9
shows a board location workshee t that shows the video router input and output
connections. The worksheet is blank except for the 5 board slots reserved for the
boards that are connected by the PCI Interconnect board. In this chart:
• The
Slot column lists each slot on the motherboard connected to the video
router.
• The
Board column is where you write the boards currentl y insta lled and the
name of the board you want to install.
• The
Input column identifies input connections available to the installed
boards from the video router. The numbers in the blocks correspond to the
order input connections are assigned at the video router connector.
• The
Output column identifies output connections availa ble from the
installed boar ds to the video rou ter. The numbers in t he blocks corre spond to
the order output connections are assigned at the video router connect or.
• The shaded blocks in the diagram indicate video router connections shared
between slots. A shar ed connec tion is avail abl e to eithe r slot, but not both at
the same time. For instance:
- The shaded input blocks betwe en slots J5 and J6, slots J7 and J8, slots J10
and J11, and slots J12 and J13 indicate shared input connections.
- The sha ded output blocks be tween slots J8 and J9, slots J10 and J11, and
slots J12 and J13 indicate shar ed output connections.

Selecting a Board Location
Here’s how to use the tables to select a location for a board. Make a copy of
Table 9 t o use as a temp lat e fo r recording inform at io n for board pla cem en t .
1. Write the board na me in Table 9 and, referring to Table 10, put a check mark

) in each input and output block used by each board currently installed in
(
your Profile system. Start with the 1 block for each board.
2. Look in Table 10 to see the input and output requirements and both the
recommended slot and alternative slots for the board you want to install.
3. Look in Table 10 for a slot with the required video router connections
available. Starting with t he 1 block, put an 8 in each block that corresponds
to an input and output requirement for the newly added board. If the
recommended slot is occupie d, or there are not enough input or output blocks
available, lo ok at the al te rnat i ve slo ts.
4. If all input and output requirements for the board match the available ones
for the slot, write the board na me in the
the board.
NOTE: If you ca n’t find an open slot with the I/O connections which meets
the I/O requirements of the board you want to instal l, y ou will have to move
existing boards. You can use Table 9 and Table 10 to experiment with various
board locations before deciding on one.
