Product Description
The Profile Video File Server is a disk-based video file server with enhanced record
and playback quality, and rapid storage/retrieval c apabilities. In addition to the
advantage of not having to load tape as with VTRs, the Profile Video File Server
occupies less rack space and is fully computer controlled.
The PDR200 provides up to four Motion-JPEG encoders/decoders (CODECs) in a
flexible system which star ts with four base configurations: two are for 2- channel
Profile systems and t wo are for 4- channel Pr ofile syste ms. These base configur ations
can be ordered with analog or digital inputs and outputs. Each configuration is then
tailored, through factory installed options, to meet your site-specific needs . Many
options may be e asily added to your PDR 200 as your needs change and expand. For
information on adding options, contact your Grass Valley Group represe ntative.
A two-channel system (PDR202) is equipped with a single Master Enhanced Disk
Recorder board, which provid es two JPEG codecs, and two SCSI buss es, SCSI A and
SCSI B, although SCSI B may not be a vailable on all models. A four- channel sy stem
(PDR204) adds a Slave Enhanced Disk Recorder, which pr ovides two additional
JPEG codecs and two more SCSI busses (SCSI C and SCSI D).
The PDR300 adds factory-installed MPEG encoders and decoders to the Profile
Video File Server, while retaining all the capabiliti es and optional configurations of
the PDR200. Two MPEG boards, one with one encoder and two decoders, the other
with four decoders, provide many combinations of capabiliti es to meet your needs.
The JPEG codecs on the Master and Slave Enhanced Disk Recorder boards remain
available as resources f or record/p lay channel s or for transcoding cli ps betwee n JPEG
and MPEG.
Product Description
The PDR400 adds factory-inst alled DVCPRO boards to the Profile Video File S erver,
while retaini ng the same capabili ties and optiona l configura tions of the PDR200. The
DVCPRO boards includes up to six DVCPRO 2 5 codecs arra nged in pair s. Ea ch pair
of DVCPRO 25 codecs may be used a s a single DVCPRO 50 codec. Bec au se of this
paired codec arc h itec tur e, s ome s y stem tim ing rest ri ction s ap ply . These res tri ct ions
are discussed in “DVC PRO System Timing Consider ations” on page 1-17. The JPEG
codecs on the Master and Slave Enhanced Disk Recorder boards remain available as
resources for record/play channels or for transcoding clips between JPEG and
DVCPRO. In some configurations, the operation of one of the JPEG codecs may be
restricted as described in “C onfigurations” on page 1-8.
The Profile Vide o File Server is mounted o n rack slides for installation in a st andard
electronic equip ment rack. All connections to the Profi le Video File Server are on the
rear panel (see Chapter 2, “Mechanical In sta llat io n ”). Also see Appendix A,
“Specifications”, for physic al and electrical spe cifications and environmental crite ria.

Maximum Video Data Rates
This section describes the maximum video data rate available per channel on the
Profile Video Fi le Server whe n all c hannels are in use. The maximum video da ta r ate
per channel depends on the Profile model, the type of storage, and the number of
storage disk drives in the system. The Profile Video File Server can be configured
with either RAID or non-RAID s torage. Refer t o Table 1-7, Table 1-8, and Table 1-9
to determine the maximum video data rates for various Profile models and storage
options.
Table 1-7. Maximum Video Data Rates Per Channel With Non-RAID Storage
You can select the video data rate the Profile system uses to record the video signal,
unless you are using DVCPRO25 codecs which operate at a fixed 25Mb/s. When
selecting video data rates, be sure not to exceed the total Profile system bandwidth.
Fibre channel trans fers, archive opera tions, and high bandwidth recor ding or playout
may require that you reduce the data rate on other channels or operate fewer channels
at one time. Although playout and recording take priority over other operations,
exceeding your P rofile syst em bandwidth may result in r ecord or pla yback pr oblems.
For information on setting the video data rate in Profile applications software, ref er to
the appropriate sections o f the Profile Family User Manual
Storage Capacity Estimates
The Profile Video File Server stor a ge capacity is determined by the number of disk
drives in the system and the video data rate selected to record the video signal. The
Profile Video File Server can be configured with three, five, or eight int ernal 18GB
disk drives. You c an r efer to Tabl e 1-10 for storage esti mates ba sed on t he number of
disk drives installed and the video data rate. All Profile applications allow you to
select the video data rate used to record the video signal, unless you are using
DVCPRO 25 compression which operates at a fixed 25Mb/s data rate, or
DVCPRO 50 compression which operates at a fixed 50Mb/s data rate. For more
information about set ting the video data rate, refer the appropr iate sections of the
Profile Family User Manual.
Table 1-10. Profil e Video Fi le Ser ver Storage Capacity Estimates
Video storage times are estimates (within 10%) and include 2 audio channels and 1 timecode channel.
Adding 2 more channels of audio adds approximately 1.5 Mb/s to the total data rate .
The Profile Video File Server stor age space can be expanded by adding one or two
PDX 218 Disk Expansion Chassis containing eight 18GB disk drives each. You can
refer to entrie s for eight drive systems in Table 1-10 to determine the storage capacity
of a PDX218 at various video data rates.
NOTE: Storage capacity estimate s for the PRS255 RAID Storage Chassis are
located in the PRS255 RAID Storage Instruction Manual.

DVCPRO System Timing Considerations
DVCPRO System Timing Considerations
The DVCPRO codecs used in Profile systems are actually pairs of codecs. Because of this
paired codec arc h itec ture, some restrict io ns ap pl y to the DVCPRO codec s whic h require the
follow ing sy stem ti ming li mita ti o ns:
1. Y ou must supply a Reference In signal to the Profile system.
2. All video signals that you want to record with a D VCPR O codec must be synchronous with
the Reference In signal.
3. If you want to use the DVCPRO codecs as independent codecs, all of your video inputs
must be auto-timed to the Reference input. In Configuration Manager, select Enable
Auto-Tim ing for each input. You must ensure that each input actually auto-times by
checking that th e Auto-Tim ed indicator in the V ideo Input dia log box is li t. 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 25 codecs for
BVW Insert/Edit operations, you may only use one of the codecs from each pair,
DVCPRO25 #1, DVCPRO25 #3, and D VCPRO25 #5. Note that the second DVCPRO 25
codec from each pair must not be used.

• Mounting the Profile Video Fil e Server in the rack.
• Mounting the RS-422 Connector Panel.
• Mounting the audio interfac e cha ssis (XLR216, BNC216, or PAC208/216).
• Making Profile Video File Server rear panel cable connections.
• Making other system connections.
Rack Mounting
The equipment for the P rofile Vi deo File S erver syste m installs in a st andard 19-inc h
equipment rac k. Rack slide tracks shipped with the Profile Video File Se rver and the
Profile Audio Chass is allow them to slide in and out without having to remove the m
from the rack. However, if the rack does not already have rack slides installed , or if
the slides are not correctly positioned, you will have to use those shipp ed with the
Profile Video File Server.
When determining the location of the Profile Video File Server in the rack, bear in
mind that the chassis with a full complement of disk drives we ighs appr oximately 70
pounds. Observe the following warnings:

Connecting Audio
Your Profile Video File Server can have one or two Audio I/O boards inst alled. All uni ts have
at least one Audio I/O boar d, called Audio Signal Processor Board ( or ASPB), whi ch provides
16 channels of audio I/O. A second ASPB can be installed, adding 16 more channels for a total
of 32 channels of audio I/O.
If you have two Audio I/O boards installed, the first one (or ASPB1) resides in the lowest
numbered board slot and is labelle d “AUDIO I/O IN/OUT CH 1-16”. The second ASPB (or
ASPB2), if installed, is in the higher numbered board slot and is labelled “AUDIO I/O IN
OUT CH 17-32”. Refer to the rear panel labels or Table s 1-2 through 1-6 in Chapter 1, pages
1-9 through 1-13, to determine the slot location of these boards in your system.
The Audio Signal Processor Board (ASPB) can be configured to operate with analog, AES/
EBU digital, and digital embedded (SMPTE 272M Level A) audio. If you are using only
embedded audio, no interface chassis is required.
An interface chassis is required for Analog and AES/EBU Audio. Table 2-1 contains a
summary of interface chassis avail abl e.
NOTE:
- Interface chassis must be connected to both ASPBs for operation with 32 channels
of analog or AES/EBU digital audio.
- To determine if the PAC200 Analog Audio Chassis is a PAC208 or PAC216, look
at the identificati on tag toward the rear on the left side of the chassis.

Connecting 16 Analog/Digital Channels (PAC216)
Figure 2-18 shows analog/digital audio connections for a 16 audio channel Profile
Video File Server using the PAC216 version of the PAC200 Profile Audio Chassis.
This Profile system has one ASPB (Audio Signal Processor Board) which provides
16 channels of audio I/O. The PAC216 chassis and the PACXLR Audio Breakout
Panel, allows you to connect up to 16 analog audio I/Os and 16 digital audio I/Os
(eight pairs) to the Profile Video File Server.
The 16 ASPB audio channels are divided into four audio groups of four channels
each. You can assign the input for each ASPB audio group to either the analog or
digital input c hannels of the PAC216. For example, the input to ASPB channels 1 to
4 can be assigned to analog input channels 1 to 4 or digital input channels 1 to 4 on
the PAC216. The four ASPB audio groups are always assigned to both analog and
digital output channels on the PAC216.
When used in this configurati on, the PAC200 is labelled PAC216 on the left side
panel at the rear of the panel.
NOTE: When using analog audi o, you must u se Conf iguratio n Manager t o enable
analog audio inputs and to unmute analog audio outputs. See the Profile Family
User Manual for Configuration Manager information.
On the PAC200 (PAC 216):
• Connections are for analog audio channels 1-8, each with an In and Out.
• Connections are for four pairs of digital audio channels: 9/10, 11/12, 13/14, and
15/16, where each pair has an In and Out.
• The AES REF IN connector provides both a clock frequency and a framing
alignment referenc e, generally from a master sync generator, to the incoming
digital audio.
• The MONITOR LEFT/RIGHT connectors allow monitoring of one pair of audio
selected through so ftware (see the Profile Family User Manual) . This is an ana log
output.
On the PACXLR Breakout Panel:
• Connections are for analo g audio channels 9-16, each with an In and Out.
• Connections are for four pairs of digital a udio channels: 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 where
each pair has an In and Out.

and ASPB2. ASPB1 is in the lower numbered slot, and ASPB2 is in the higher
numbered slot. Refer to the rear panel labels or Table s 1-2 through 1-6 in Chapter 1,
pages 1-9 thr ough 1-13, t o determine the slot location of these boards in your system.
The 32 channel analog/digi tal audio configuration uses two PAC216 Profile Audio
Chassis. Each PAC216 chassis and PACXLR Audio Breakout Panel all ows you to
connect up to 16 analog audio I/Os and 16 digital audio I/Os for a total of 32 analog
audio and 32 of digital audio I/Os.
The 16 audio channels on each ASPB are divided into four audio groups of four
channels each. You can assign the input for each ASPB audio group to either the
analog or digital input channels of the PAC216. For example, the input to ASPB1
channels 1 to 4 can be assigned to analog input channels 1 to 4 or digital input
channels 1 to 4 on the PAC216. The four ASPB audio groups are always assigned to
both analog and digital outp ut channels on the PAC216.

Starting Your Profile System
This chapter contains infor mation to get you up and running with your Profile Video
File Server. The tasks you will perfor m are:
• Turning Profile system and peripheral equipment On.
• Logging On
• Configuring your Profile system.
• Updating your Emergency Repair Disk.
This chapter also includes a brief verification test and troubleshooting information.
Power On/Off
This heading desc ribes how to t urn on t he power to the Pr ofile Sy stem and periph eral
equipment. Before you turn on the power you need know about logging on to the
Profile system .
Logging On
When the Profile syst em power is turned on and befo re Windows NT boots, you must
make a choice of how you want to logon the system.
Automatic Logon
When the Profile system is powered on you may let Windows NT go through an
automatic logon sequence . The syste m will perform automatic logon using a default
account call ed profile. After automatic logon, the Profile VdrPanel application will
appear as shown in Figure 3-3.
Automatic logon will occur at power On when:
-The profile account was used the last time the Profile Video File Server was
turned off.
- The Profile Video File Server is init ially powered On from the factory. (The
factory sets the last use r to profile prior to shipment.)
Profile Video File Server Installation3-1
Chapter 3 Starting Your Profile System
Logon as Administrator
When the Profile system is powered On, you may int errupt automatic logon and logon
as Administrator. It is not necessary to logon as administrator to configure Profile
System software. However, you must logon as Administrator for Windows NT
administration and to:

System”).
- Install new software applications or upgrades (see Profil e Release Notes).
To logon as Administrator:
1. Power-on the Profile system, then hold the Shift key down during star t-up to
prevent auto-logon as profile. Be sure to continue holding the shift key until the
logon dialog box appears.
2. Logon as administrator. The defau lt administrator password on a Profile system is triton.
The next ti me the Profile system is restarted, Windows NT will display a logon error
message. When this occurs, use the logon dia log box to logon manually as
administrator or as profile (see the following procedure).
Logon as Profile
After performing syst em administrative tasks using the administrator user account,
you must logon using the profile account to enable the automatic logon feature for
future system boots.
To logon as profile:
1. Power up or log off the Profile System.
2. When the logon error message appears click
3. When the dialog box appears, logon as profile. The factory default password for
profile is profile.
Windows NT will now perform automa tic logon th e next ti me the system is re started .

Networking Your Profile System
This chapter cont ains inf ormati on about t he Prof ile syst em and Ethe rne t configur ations,
and how to connect your Profile Video File Server for Ethernet and Fibre Channel
networking.
Network Configurations
The Profile Video File Server has both an Ethernet network interface (standard) and a
Fibre Channel network int erface (optional) . If you are connecting your Profile system to
only an Ethernet network, see “Connecting Ethernet” on page 4-4 .
Profile Video Networking requires both a Fibre Channel network and an Ethernet
network. Fibre Channel provides connectivity for high speed media data transfers
between two or more Profile systems. The Ethernet network provides for exchange of
command and status information between systems.
Building a network of more than two Profil e systems requires an Ethernet hub (or
connections to an existing Ethernet network) and a Fibre Channel hub. In thi s network
configuration , Grass Va lley Group recommends that you begin by configuring and
testing the network with onl y two Profile Systems connected to the Ethernet and Fibre
Channel hu bs. This will ens u re tha t all com p one n ts are work in g and are correctly
configured before adding additional Profile systems to the Ethernet and Fibre Channel
networks.
Network Models
The following discusses thr ee exampl es of Etherne t and F ibre Ch annel net working. The
first example shows connection of several Profile systems using an Ethernet hub (or
existing Ethernet network) and a Fibre Channel hub. The second example of Ethernet
and Fibre Channel networking shows an example of casca ding several hubs. The third
example shows a point to point connecti on for two Prof ile systems.
Profile Video File Server Installation4-1
Chapter 4 Networking Your Profile System
Networking Several Profile Systems
If you want t o connect mo re than two Profile s ystems togethe r for vi deo networking, you
will need to connect each system to an Ethernet hub or an existing Ethernet network and
a Fibre Channel hub. Figure 4-1 shows an example of this configuration.
Ethernet Hub
Cascading Several Hubs
Connecting hubs together provide s a way to add more and more systems to the network.
Large Fibre Cha nnel networks will probably not perfor m as well as smaller ones due to
bandwidth limitations. Figure 4-2 shows a network using cascaded hubs.
The number of hubs r equired depends on the number of connections supported by each
hub. Remember that one of the connections is needed to connect to the next hub. You
must use appropriate cable s for the distance between devices.

Point to Point Network Connection
The simplest network connec tion is the point-to-point conne ction shown in Figure 4-3.
This method allows you to connect two Profile systems together. The Fibre Channel
connection can be made using a Fibre Channel cable. The Ethernet connection can be
made using an Ethernet hub or an Ethernet cros sove r cable.
NOTE: The Ethernet crossover cable requi red for point to point Ethernet
connection is not shipped with the Profile system. Also, for point to point
connection, both Profiles must be powered on at the same time.

The Profile system supports a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet interface. Figure 4-4 shows the
location of the 10/100BASE-T Ethernet interface connector on the System CPU board
in slot J1. See Appendix B for connector pin-out inf ormation.
To connect your Profile system to Ethernet:
1. Turn the Profile system power Off. (See page 3-2 for power on/off procedures.)
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Profile system Ethernet conn ector as shown in
Figure 4-4.
3. Power On your Profile system and configure the Ethernet board IP address as
described in “Configuring Ethernet for TCP/IP”, page 4-5.
