MPEG Board Upgrade Installation
Introduction
NOTE: Profile system software version 2.4 or higher must be installed and
tested before you inst all any MPEG boards. For more information, see
“System Software Requirements” on page 2.
These instructi ons explain how to i nsta ll MPEG circui t board s in an MPEG-ready
(Option MG) PDR200 Video File Server. Instruct ions are also included for
installing MPEG boards in a PDR 200 that is not MPEG-ready. The MPEG field
kit comes with either of two boards, shown in Table 1.
Table 1. MPEG board nomenclature
MPEG Boa rd Features Nomencla ture
Encoder 1 encoder, 2
decoders
Decoder 4 decoders P2MPG04
In general, three configur ations are possible when instal ling MPEG boards:
1. In an MPEG-ready Option MG PDR200 (serial number B030000 or above).
For instructi on s, see “Installing Boards in an Option MG Unit” on page 12.
2. In a non-Option MG unit (serial number B030000 or above) . Ref e r to the
instructions in “Installing Boards in a non-Option MG Unit” on page 16.
3. In a early, non-MPEG ready unit (serial number B029999 or below). See
instructions under “Installing B oards in an Early PDR200 Unit” on page 18.
NOTE: It is stro ngly recommended that you read these instructions
thoroughly before attempting any part of the installation. The installation
process takes from t hree t o five hour s .
P2MPG12

MPEG Board Upgrade Installation
Depending on the field kit s you have orde red and how you pl an to configu re your
system, you most probably will be adding other boards, such as serial digital I/ O
boards or an Audio Signal Proces sing Board (ASPB). For example, if you instal l
two decoder boards, you will need four serial digital I/O boards to output eight
video channels. In such a case, it is also likely that you will install an additi onal
ASPB for a total of 32 channels of embedded audio. There is no reason not to
install all the field kits while the Profile chassis is open.
When this manual re fers to slot numbers, such as J8 and J12, refer to the label on
the back of the Profile unit to find wher e the physical slots are (see to Figure 10
on page 29).
System Software Requirements
The Profile system software installed in the Profile syste m must be version 2.4 or
higher to support MPEG boards. This software should have been ordered and
received along with this MPEG field kit. To chec k the softwa re version installed
in your Profile system, open the VrdPanel application and choose
VdrPanel
have version 2.4 or higher software, contact your Grass Valley Group
representative.
. The software version is listed in the disp layed window. If you do not
Help | About
NOTE: Aft er you install 2.4 or highe r software, you must update the firmware
of some Profile circuit boards with an in-system programming (ISP)
procedure described in the appropriate software release note s and in the
Profile utilities chapter of the Profile Family User Manual.

Master and Slave EDR Memory Requirements
Master and Slave EDR Memory Requirements
The Master Enhanced Disk Recorder (EDR) board and Slave EDR board (if
present) must be upgraded to 64 megabytes of memory with the EDR Memory
Upgrade kit. If you ordered you PDR200 recently, the Master and Slave may
already have 64 megabytes of memory each. To see the amount of memory you
have on the Master and Slave EDR boards, check the Profile log for messages
regarding memory size or choose
Diagnostics | Master EDR
from the Win dows NT 4.0 desktop. If your system do es
not have the required memory, you will need two serv ice kits— one kit for the
Master and one for the Slave—each with two 32-megabyte SIMMs.
If you have a large file syste m, it is recommended that you upgrade the local i 960
memory to 32 megabytes. You will need one kit for this upgrade, containing one
32-megabyte SIMM, replacing the existing 16-megabyte SIMM.
NOTE: You should have obtained service kits for these memory upgrades at
the same time you receiv ed the MPEG fiel d kit. If you hav e not install ed these
memory upgrades, in stal l them fir st t hing when doi ng the MPEG upgrad e; i f
for some reason you have not obtained the kits, contact your Grass Valley
Group representativ e.

!
!
sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To protect these components from
damage and to maintain product reliability, take the following precautions
when handling the circuit board:
• Handle all circuit boards in a static -protected area capable of controlling
static charge on conductiv e materials, people, and nonconductive
materials. Stat ic-protect ed areas inclu de nonstatic table tops a nd nonstatic
floor mats.
• While out of the chassis, place boards in the ESD static-shielded bags
(provided with this kit) until you install them.
• Wear ESD grounding straps when handling boards outside of their ESD
static-shielded bags.
• Handle the circuit boards only by the edges and av oid touching the printed
wires on the back of the circuit board as much as possible.

Installation Procedures
The procedures that follow take you step-by-step through the installation of
MPEG boards. You can ins tall t he board with t he Profile c hassis fully e xtended on
the rack slides if the instrument rack is adequately anchored to preve nt tipping, and
if there is sufficie nt slack in the cables connected to the rear panel to allow the
chassis to fully extend on the sli des. If you decide to keep the chassis in the rack
during the installa tion, it is a good idea to loosen any screws that need to be
removed from the back of the Profile unit before sliding it forward on the racks.
You will 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.
During the installat ion, you will be instructed to removed the three-slotted PCI
Interconnect boar d and replac e it with the f ive-s lotted boar d provided in thi s f ield
kit. The center slot on the f ive-slotted PCI board must be aligned with the Master
EDR board and the MPEG boards must be aligned with the outside slots of the PCI
board, that is, J8 and J12. See Table 3 for all PCI board locations.

MPEG Board Upgrade Installation
Installing Boards in an Early PDR200 Unit
If you have an early PDR200 (serial number B029999 or below), you can install
MPEG boards by following this procedure . I t may be necessa ry to remove some
or all of the boards in slots J5 through J15 in or der to follow the recommendati ons
for MPEG installation. In doing so, you may lose some slots otherwise used for
video I/O boards . To reinstal l EDR and Fibre cha nnel boards, fol low the sl ot order
shown in Table 3 on pa ge 5. Tabl e 3 a lso s hows wh ere th e MPEG boards must go.
For further guidance on board placement, refer to Table 7 on page 34. Follow the
instructions under “Selecting a Board L ocat i on ” on page 36. Also, it will be
helpful to make a copy of Table 8 on page 35 to chart the placement of boards in
their proper slots.
NOTE: If you decide to keep the chassis in the rack during the installation, it
is a good idea to loosen any screws that n eed to be remove d from the back of
the Profile unit before sliding it forward on the racks.
Removi ng Circuit Boards
Use the following procedure to remove one or more circuit boards—as many as
necessary—from the motherboard, in order to make room insta lling MPEG
boards:
1. Remove all cables connected to the rear of the Profile unit. If you have not
done so already, label each cable before removing it and draw a simple
diagram to make it easier to reconnect the cabl es later. Remove any cable tie
wraps, if necessary.
2. Remove the three-slotte d PCI Inte rconnect board and remove all cables
connected t o Prof ile b oard s , su ch as SC SI, Sharcnet, or audio clock cab les
(look at Figure 7 on page 23 if you need help identifying the Shar cnet and
audio clock cable s). Label each cable befor e removing it and draw a sim ple
diagram to make it easier to reconnect the cables later.
CAUTION: Be certain to labe l the SCSI cables before removin g them s o that

3. It may be necessary remove the top slot cover screw that mounts any
adjacent circuit boards to al low more give so board removal is easier (re fer
to Figure 4 on page 13 for the location of the top screw). Use the Torx tool
with the T15 tip to do so.
4. Use the Torx tool with the T15 tip to remove the screws from the top of the
slot cover inside the chassis (

installing it:
- Do not rock the circuit board from side to side in the EISA bus
connector — pull straight up to remove.
- Do not grasp or push on the rear-panel connectors when removing or
installing circuit boards in the card slots.
5. Extract the circuit board:
- If the circuit board is tal l, use the extractio n lever on the front of the board
and the extractio n ring at the back of the board to lift the circuit board free
of the connectors on the motherboard.
- For shorter cir cuit boa rds, carefu lly grasp the board and lift upwa rd to f ree
the circuit board from the motherboa rd connectors. You might need to
remove an adjacent tall board to get enough room for a safe hold on the
shorter board.

6. You may also need to remove slot covers for empty slots to prepare for the
installation of new or moved boards. If this is necessary, refer to step 4.
7. Place removed boards in the supplied antistatic bags. Fold the bags over to
protect the boards from any ESD exposure .
Reinstalling the Boards
Now that you have removed the boards from the chassis, you a re ready to reinstall
them, along with MPEG boards. See Table 3 on page 5 for placement of EDR,
Fibre Channel , and MPEG boards. For information on placing other boards, refer
to Table 7 on page 34.
CAUTION: Forcing a board into the slot m ay result in bent connectors on the

1. Install the MPEG boards . An encoder boar d (P2MPG12) should go in slot J8
and a decoder board (P2MPG04) in J12. If you are instal ling two encoder
boards or two decoder boards, slot order doesn’t matter. Also, reinsta ll the
video I/O and audio boards that you had to move out to make room for the
MPEG boards. To install the boards correc tly:
- Align the boards with the connectors on the motherboard. Make sure 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.
- As you push the b oard i nto the conne ctors, yo u will feel the boa rd enga ge

Audio Clock and Sharcnet Cabling
Audio Clock and Sharcnet Cabling
This section explains how to connect Sharcnet and audio clock cables between
Audio Signal Processing Boards (ASPB) and video I/O boards. Each ASPB has
four Sharcnet connec tors for embedded di gital audio, two S harcnet connectors f or
interconnection with another ASPB, four audio record clock connectors and two
reference clock inpu t connec tors. Serial digital I/O boar ds have two Sharcnet
connectors for input and output of embedded audio, and two record clock output
connectors. Analog composite I/O boards only have two record clock output
connectors, as they do not support embedded audio.
General Sharcnet Rules
Serial digi tal I/O boa rds extra ct embedded audi o, route it to the ASPB, and r eceive
audio output from the ASPB to be embedded in the serial digital stream.
Beginning with the ASPB in the lowest numbered slot, the fourth Sharcnet
connector from the rear panel is connected to the first Sharcnet connector (also
from the rear) on the serial digit al I/O board in the lowest numbered slot . Next, the
sixth connector from the rear on the ASPB is connected to the second connector
on the serial digital I/ O board.
If you have a second serial digital I/O board, the third connector on the ASPB is
connected to the first conn ector on the second serial digital I/O board; the n, the
fifth to the second. See an example of Sharcnet cabling for one serial digital I/O
board in Figure 7, for two boards in Figure 8, and for four boards in Figure 9.
NOTE: The Sharcnet conn ectors on the MPEG boards are not used at this
time.
General Audio Clock Rules
On an ASPB, there is one au d io rec o rd clock inpu t connection for each ban k of
four audio channels, so that ther e are four record clock input connectors fo r the
sixteen audio channels on an ASPB.The first input record clock connector, for the
first bank (channels 1 thr ough 4), is the one closest to the rear of the chassis, and
the next three c onnectors follo w the sequence f or banks 2, 3, and 4. The re maining
two connectors are not used.
MPEG Board Upgrade Installat ion 21
MPEG Board Upgrade Installation
In general, the video board in the lowest-numbered slot must provide the audio
clock signal to the to the first audio bank (and the second bank if the vide o board
has two inputs) on the ASPB. The video I/O board installed in the next
higher-numbered slot should provide the audio record clock signals for the next
audio banks, and so on until all four audio banks have their record clocks
connected.
For example, if you have two anal og composite I/O video boards in slots J14 and
J15, the audio clock signal from the board in J14 should be connected to the first
and second audio record input cloc k signals on the ASPB while the signals from
J15 should be connected to the third and fourth co nnectors. See serial digital I/O
examples of audio clock cabli ng for one ser ial digital I/O board in Figure 7 on
page 23, for two boa rds in Figure 8 on page 25, and for four b oards in Figure 9 on
page 27.
If your Profile unit only has one ASPB, you can connect only four record clocks
to it. If your disk recorder has two ASPBs, eight record clocks are available. If
your Profile unit has more than four video inp uts, you should connect record
clocks from video inputs that mig ht record video that is not genlocked to your
house referenc e, such as remot e feeds fr om outside your facility. 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 r ecor ding.
The first cabli ng example shows the ex t ernal aud io cl ock an d Sha rcn et cab l ing

Reassembling the Profile Chassis
To reassemble the Profile chassis:
1. Apply stick-on labe ls on the Profile chassi s rear panel to help identif y all new
board locations (see Fig ure 10).
2. Bundle any loose cables with the tie wraps pr ovided.
3. Use the Torx tool with the T10 tip to reinstall the rear board hold-down
bracket (see Figure 3 on page 11). Make sure that boards in the chassis fit
into the grooves in the bracket .
CAUTION: To prevent damage to an Analog Composite Monitor board, do
!
!
not install a short board extensi on on the front hold-down bracket at the
Monitor board location.
4. If necessary, move or remove any sh ort board extensions on the front boa rd
hold-down bracket. Then use the Torx tool with the T10 tip to reinstall the
bracket (see Figure 3).
5. Use the Torx tool with the T10 tip to r einsta ll the re ar chassis c over wit h the
screws previously removed.
NOTE: When reinstalling rear and front chassis covers, start all the screws
before tighteni ng them. Th is ensures that the screw threads are properly
aligned, and will help avoid stripping threads or breaking screws.
6. Use the Torx tool with the T10 and T15 tips to reinstall the front chassis
cover with the screws previously removed.
7. Reinstall the Profile chassis in the rack and reconnect as labeled a ll external
cables previously removed.
8. Apply power to the Profile system and check the presence of the MPEG
boards with the procedure under “Installation Verification” on page 29.

Using Configura tion Mana ger to Verify Boards
You can use the Configuration Manager to verify the presence of MPEG encoder
and decoder boards. Look at the bottom of the Configu ration Manag er window to
ensure that the abbreviation MPEG appears in the slots where they were installed
(J8 and J12). Both encoder and decoder boards appear at the bottom of the
window. See Fi g ure 11 for an example.
Also, you should be able to see the decoder MPEG host boards listed in the
configuration tree. Encoder boards do not appear in the configuration tr ee since
there is no need to configure them with software.
If you have MPEG decoder boards installed in your Profile, you need to obtain a
timing signal from a video I/O board to synchr onize your output. See the
instructions on setting MPEG input timing in the chapter on Configuration
Manager in the Profile Family User Manual.
To check for recognition of added MPEG boards in a PDR200:
1. From the Windows NT 4.0 desktop, open the Configurat ion Manager
window by choosing
Manager
.
2. Check the configuratio n tree and the bottom of the window for the presenc e
of MPEG boards.

Board Location Guide
This board location guide is pro vided to help you install an MPEG board in a
PDR200 Video File Server that is not an Option MG, that is, not shipped from the
factory as MPEG ready. The board layout for an Option MG PDR200 eases
MPEG board installation, but other systems may require that you move existing
boards to accommodate the MPEG board. 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 ar e met (see Tabl e 7 on page 34). The board loc ation guide identifies
the video router inputs and outp uts 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 Relati onship
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 for 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 data connectors provi de the same number of vi deo
I/O connections. Therefore, you must know how many input and output
connections the board need s, if any, and the slots available that meet those needs.
Table 7 on page 34 lists each of the 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.
32 MPEG Board Upgrade Installat ion
Video Router I/O Connections
Now let’s look at the video router connections a vailable at slo ts J5–J15. Table 8 is
a blank board location chart tha t shows the video router input and output
connections. In this table:
Video Router I/O Connections
• 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 available 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 blocks between slots J5 and J6, slots J7 and J8, slots J10 and
J11, and slots J12 and J13 indicate shared input connections.
- The shaded blocks between slots J8 and J9, slots J10 a nd J11, a nd slots
J12 and J13 indicate shared 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 8 to use as a template for recording information for board placement.
1. Write the board name in Table 8 and, referring to Table 7, put a check mark
3
) 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 7 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 7 for a slot with the required video router connections
available. Starting with the 1 block, put a n 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 require ments f or the board match the available ones
for the slot, write the board na me in the
the board.
NOTE: If you can’t find an open slot with the I/O connections which meets
the I/O requirements of the board you want to install, you will have to move
existing boards. You can use Table 7 and Table 8 to experiment with various
board locations before deciding on one.
