Introduction
This manual is part of a set of manuals provided to support installation and operation
of the Tektronix PDR 100 Professional Disk Recorder. The set consists of the User
Manuals along with this Installation manual.
In addition to the PDR100 information, there are installation instructions for the
PDX103 Disk Expansion Unit, and the XLR100 Audio Bypass Unit. Each of these
has its own set of instructions but for ease of installation, mounting and cabling
information has been included in this manual.
Product Description
The PDR 100 is a disk-based video record and playback system yielding a quality
equal to beta machines using metal oxide tape. Aside from the obvious advantage of
not having to load tape, it occupies less rack space and is fully computer controlled.
Record/playback applications for the PDR 100 run on the Windows NTTM operating
system. The system’s total amount of program material storage depends on the
number of hard-disk drives and the video storage rate (number of bytes/field). With
the optional PDX103 Disk Expansion Unit and lowest video storage rate (50,000
bytes/field), it is possible to store up to nine hours of material.
The PDR 100 is mounted on rack slides for installation in either a standard or
“TELCO” rack. The unit is roughly the configuration of a large personal computer
(PC) with 16 Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) slots, one ISA slot, up
to 32 Gbytes of disk storage, and a 32 by 32 CCIR 601 eight-bit routing switch. Three
control interfaces are supported: RS-232, RS-422, and keyboard/ mouse with VGA
output. The PDR 100 RS-422 interface has eight separate ports which require the
RS-422 Connector Panel (supplied with the PDR 100).
The system is controlled by an internal computer card with dedicated (system) hard
disk storage and a 3
three interfaces. A VGA circuit card supports an optional SVGA monitor for use with
the internal system controlling computer. The Microsoft Windows NT
software is loaded on the system hard disk.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Operation Overview
Program video is input to the system in component serial digital, component analog,
or composite analog format, converted to parallel digital format, and routed to the
Disk Recorder circuit board by the on board video router. The parallel digital signal
is compressed (JPEG) and stored on the hard disk.
Upon recovery, the compressed parallel digital component video is decompressed and
routed to the output circuitry where it is converted back to serial digital or analog
format. The composite output undergoes an additional conversion back to either the
NTSC or PAL format. The composite output circuit board supports up to four
composite program outputs and a monitor channel. The monitor channel can have
time code burned in.
Each video channel can be supported by up to four channels of audio. A separate
audio circuit board is required for each four channels of audio input or output. The
audio signal is stored on a hard disk along with the video. For playback, the audio is
recovered from its storage location and output with the same video signal relationship
it had when recorded.
Control of the hard disks is accomplished by the Disk Recorder circuit boards, which
also provide the JPEG compression/decompression. The Master Disk Recorder can
control as few as 4 and as many as 12 hard disks. A Slave Disk Recorder can be added
to control between 4 and 12 additional hard disks. The total number of hard disks that
can be accommodated by a single PDR 100 (with PDX103 Disk Expansion unit) is
24.
The PDX103 is an optional Disk Expansion Unit containing its own power supply
and as many as 16 additional hard disks in a 7-inch (four rack units) high by 25.5-inch
deep, and 19-inch wide unit. The Disk Expansion Unit is delivered with either 8 hard
disks (2 banks of 4 to support 2 Disk Recorder boards in the PDR 100, a single bank
of 8 to support 1 Disk Recorder board), or with 16 hard disks to fully utilize the
capacity of 2 Disk Recorder boards.

Configuration
The PDR100 Mother board with its connectors for the circuit boards allows the
PDR100 to be configured in a number of ways. Any configuration of the PDR100
consists of circuit boards that are required in all configurations and circuit boards
specific to a particular configuration.
On the Mother board, the connectors are arranged into the EISA bus and Video Router
as shown in Figure 2-1. All of the circuit boards plug into the EISA bus. (Slot J2,
which is on the EISA bus, is limited to ISA only.) A number of the circuit boards, such
as the Master or Slave Disk Recorder and the Input/Output (I/O) boards, require
connection to both the EISA bus and the Video Router, which is provided by slots
J5-J16.

Chapter 2 Configuration
Configuration Guidelines
The information given here is to help install circuit boards in configurations that differ
from factory configurations. This information can be useful when adding a new
circuit board to the PDR100 and you need to move boards around to make room.
Some of the circuit boards must be installed in specific locations, others are installed
in locations that are dictated by the configuration.
Circuit Board Installation Rules
In order to ensure correct operation of the PDR100, it is necessary to follow some
specific rules involving the installation of the various circuit boards.
• Processor and VGA boards must be installed in Mother board slots J1 and J2
respectively.
• Slots J5 through J16 have access to both the EISA bus and the Video Router;
however, the number of router connections accessible from specific slots varies,
making it necessary to arbitrarily assign some configuration-specific boards to
designated slots.
• Disk Recorder circuit boards must be in Mother board slots J14 (Master) and J15
(Slave).
• Slot J17 on the Mother board is EISA only and is dedicated to the RS-422 board.
• The Reference Genlock circuit board must be installed in Mother board slot J16.
• Analog Composite Output circuit boards (for NTSC or PAL) can only be installed
in Mother board slots J11 or J12.
• Audio circuit boards need to be close enough to their respective input or output
boards to allow clock cabling. In most cases, the audio board will be adjacent to
the input board and no more than two slots away from the output board.
• Serial I/O boards cannot be installed adjacent to Analog Composite Output boards.

The VGA-I/O board is always installed in slot J2 next to the Processor board. In
addition to the video interface for the monitor, this board provides internal
connections to the PDR100’s RS-232 Serial port, the system hard disk drive, and the
floppy disk drive. There is also a parallel port, the IDE interface for the system hard
disk, and the floppy disk driver.
Reference Genlock
Slot J16 is assigned to the Reference Genlock circuit board. It requires both EISA bus
and Video Router connections. Like its neighbor the RS-422 Interface circuit board,
it is required for all configurations.
Master Disk Recorder
Each Disk Recorder circuit board requires a set of four or eight hard disk drives. This
can be as many as 12 hard disk drives per Disk Recorder, when the PDX103 is also
used. The Master Disk Recorder circuit board is always located in slot J14. It controls
4, 8, or 12 hard disk drives, depending on the number of hard disk drives installed and
whether the PDX103 is in use.
PDR100 Installation 2-3
Chapter 2 Configuration
Circuit Boards that Support Configurations
Some of the circuit boards can be loaded into almost any of the slots, while others
must go into specified locations. The slots that are available for configuration-specific
circuit boards are J3 through J13. See Figure 2-2.
J14 through J17 are also dedicated slots, used for the Disk Recorders, Reference
Genlock, and RS422A Interface circuit boards.
Slave Disk Recorder
When the PDR100 is configured for four channel operation, a Slave Disk Recorder
circuit board is required. This circuit board is always located in slot J15.
Analog Composite Input
The Analog Composite Video Input is a two circuit board set requiring two EISA/
Video Router slots (between J5 and J13.) One slot is occupied by the Decoder circuit
board, while the second slot has the one video-channel Input circuit board.

Serial Digital Component Input/Output
A single Serial Digital Component Input/Output circuit board provides two input and
two output channels. Up to two boards (four video channels) can be installed in any
available slot(s) with connections to the Video Router.
Component Analog Video (CAV) Input
The Component Analog Video (CAV) Input board accepts a single source of
component analog video input. The CAV Input board can be installed in any available
slot that includes connection to the Video Bus (slots that include the Video bus are
slots J5-J16).
Analog Composite Output
The Analog Composite Output circuit board supports up to four channels of video.
Only slots J11 and J12 with four Video Router connections can support these circuit
boards.
Audio Input/Output
Each Audio Input/Output circuit board provides four-channel analog audio input and
output. Up to four Audio circuit boards can be installed in a single PDR100. Audio
circuit boards do not require connection to the Video Router, which also allows them
to be used in slots J3 and J4 (EISA only.) However, they do need to be adjacent to a
Video Input or Output for cabling.
Additional Configurations
Additional Configurations
Not all of the available configurations of the PDR100 require the addition of circuit
boards; however, in some cases, both circuit boards and external items are part of the
appropriate configuration. For example, adding a monitor requires both an SVGA
monitor along with the installed VGA circuit board.
Keyboard and Mouse
The processor can be controlled externally using a keyboard and mouse.
Monitor (VGA)
Slot J2 is the location of the VGA circuit board. When an SVGA monitor is used, it
is cabled to the D-type connector on the back of the VGA circuit board.
Local Area Network (LAN)
Interface card for access to a local area network. Requires an EISA slot. It should be
installed in J3.

Chapter 2 Configuration
Typical Configurations
The majority of the PDR100’s will use one of the following typical configurations.
Processor and Disk Recorder circuit boards remain constant throughout the
configurations.
Serial Four-Channel In and Four-Channel Out
This is Option 40 in the standard factory configurations. The Serial I/O circuit boards
have two-channel input and output each; two I/O circuit boards and four audio circuit
boards are required for this configuration. See Table 2-1. This configuration uses
eight hard disk drives and two Disk Recorder (Master and Slave) circuit boards to
support four-channel operation.

Mechanical Installation
The installation instructions in this chapter are for the PDR100 Video Disk Recorder
and its companion units, the PDX103 Disk Expansion Unit, the RS-422 Connector
Panel, and the XLR100 Audio Bypass Unit. This equipment is designed to be rack
mounted. The PDR100 and the PDX103 are mounted to the rack with rack slides and
face forward in the rack. The RS 422 Control Panel and the XLR100 mount at the rear
of the rack using front panel attaching screws. Figure 3-1 shows an installation that
includes the PDR100 and the PDX 103 mounted in a rack.
Figure 3-1. Typical PDR100 Installation with PDX103 Disk Drive Expansion Unit
The position of the units in the rack must be considered because of their weight. If the
rack is not firmly mounted to the floor or vertically supported, the units should be
located low enough to not cause the rack to tip when the cabinets are pulled out on the
rack mounting slides.
