Installation Procedures

The procedures that follow take you step-by-step through the installation of the
Monitor board.

Before you install the new board, prepa re the Profile system for installa tion.
Preparation invol ves extending the chassis, removing the top covers, removing the
circuit board hold-downs, and moving currently installed boards as necessary to
make room for the Monitor board.

The installation procedures include a discussion on board locations. This
discussion simpli fies installing and, if necessary, moving boards around, and
provides consistency when doing so. The procedures also include internal audio
clock cabling informat ion.

WARNING: The Profile chassis is too heavy for one person to remove from

Removing Circuit Boards

Installing the Monit or board may require that you remove or reposition one or
more currently instal led boards to make room for the new board or to meet internal
cabling constraints. When unplugging boards you may also find it necessar y to
remove the screw mounting an adjacent circuit board, and in the case of som e short
circuit boards, it might be necessary to re move an adjacent tall circuit board to ease
removal of the shorter board.

Use the following procedure to unplug circuit boards from the motherboard.

1. Remove all interior and rear panel cables from the circuit boards that a re to
be removed.

2. Use the Torx tool with the T15 tip to remove the screw from the bracket
inside the chassis (

• Do not grasp or push on the rear-panel connectors when removing or
installing circuit boards in the card slots.

3. Extract the circuit boa rd. If the circuit board is a tall circuit board, use the
extraction leve r on the front of the board and the extraction ring at the back
of the board to lift the circuit boa r d free of the connectors on the
motherboard.

For short circu it boards, carefull y gras p the boa rd and lif t upward t o free the
circuit board from the motherboard connectors. You might need to remove
an adjacent tall board to get enough room for a safe hold on the boar d.

Board Location Guide

This board location guide ide ntifies the inputs and outputs of each Profi le board
currently avail able for a PDR100 or PDR200, as well as the input and output
connections on the Video Router connectors on the motherboard. Use this
information when:

• you add a new circuit board to the Profile system and need to select a slot
into which you can install it;

• you need to move boards around to meet requirements for new boards.

As you move boards around, remember that some circuit boards must occupy
specific slots , while others can be installed in almost any slot a s long as their I/O
requirements are met.

This section provides a simple approach to board location. It explains the
relationship bet ween the motherboa rd and Video Router connect ors and provide s
tables, charts and examples to as sist you in installing boards.

Video Router to Motherboard Relationship

The Video Router provides and controls video data to twelve connectors on the
motherboard. These video dat a connectors are align ed with the main motherboard
connectors for slo ts J5 through J16. Since the Ref Gen board must occupy J16 to
provide the necessary system clocks, this discussion excludes J16.

When choosing a slot for a board, the major constraint on a slot is how the boar d
connects to the Video Router. Not all boa rds requir e the same nu mber 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, and the slots available that meets those needs.

Board I/O Requirements and Restrictions

Table 1 lists each of the boards which may be instal le d in the Profile system and
the recommended slots, possible alternatives, and restrictions for each board.

Note that 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 Vide o Router connections a vailable at slots J5-J15. Table 2
is a board location chart with the Video Router input and output connections. In
the table:

• The Slots column lists each slot on the motherboard connected to the Video
Router.

• The Board column is where you e nter the boards currently installed and the
name of the board you want to install.

• The Inputs column identifi es data input connections to the slots (boards)
from the Video Router. The numbers in the blocks correspond to the order
input connections are assigned at the Video Router connector.

• The Outputs column identifies data output connections from the slots
(boards) to the Video Router. The numbers in the blocks correspond to the
order output connecti ons are assigned at the Video Router connector.

• The shaded blocks in the d iagram indicate Video R outer conn ections sha red
between slots. A shar ed connec tion is avail abl e to eithe r slot, but not both a t
the same time.

For instance :

• The shaded blocks between slots J5 and J6, slots J7 and J8, slo ts J10 and J11,
and slots J12 and J13 indicate shared input connections.

• The shaded blocks between slots J8 and J9, slots J10 and J11, and slots J12
and J13 indicate shared output c onne ctions.

Monitor Board Installation

Selecting a Location

Here’s how to use the tables to select a location for a board.

1. In the Board Location Char t, Table 2, enter the board na me and, refe rring to
Board I/O Requi rements a nd Rest rictions, Table 1, put a check mark in ea ch
input and output block u sed by each board currently inst alle d in your Profil e
syst e m. Sta rt wi th th e 1 block for each board.

2. Look in the Board I/O Requirements and Restrictions, Table 1, 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 the Boar d Location Char t, Table 2, for a slot wi th the required Video
Router connections ava ilable. Starting with the 1 block, put an “X” in each
block that corresponds to an input and output requirement for the board. If
the recommended slot is occupied, or there are not enough input or output
blocks avail abl e, lo ok at the al te rnat iv e slo ts.

4. If all input and output require ments f or the board match the available ones
for the slot , write the b oard name in the Boa rd column for the slot and in stall
the board.

NOTE: If you ca n’ t find an ope n slot wit h t he I/O which meet s the I/O
requirements of the board you want to instal l, y ou will have to move boards
around. You can use the Boa rd I/O Requiremen ts and Restri ction s table an d
the Board Locat ion Chart to experiment with various board locations before
deciding on one.

The following examples de monstrate how to u se the Board I /O Requirements and
Restrictions , Tabl e 1, and the Board Location Chart, Table 2.

22 Analog Composite Moni tor Installation

Board Location Guide

Example 1

This example shows how to use the Board I/O Requirements and Restrictions,
Table 1, and the Board Location Chart, Tab le 2, to install an Analog Composite
Monitor board into a 4-channel PDR200 with Fibre Channel and Mix Effects.

1. Fill in the Board Location Chart with the information for all the boards
currently installed in the system.

a. For the Mix Effects in slot J7, which requires six inputs and two outputs:

- Put check marks in the five J7 Input blocks, 1-5.

- Put a check mark in the J8 shared Input Block.

- Put check marks in the J7 Output blocks 1 and 2.
b. For the Fibre Channel in slot J8 - no Video Router I/O requir ements
c. For the Master EDR in slo t J 9, whic h re quires t wo i nputs and t wo out puts:

- Put check marks in the J9 Input blocks 1 and 2.

- Put check marks in the J9 Output blocks 1 and 2.
d. For the Slave EDR in s lot J10, whic h requir es t wo inpu ts and two out puts:

- Put check marks in the J10 Input blocks 1 and 2.

- Put check marks in the J10 Output blocks 1 and 2.
e. For the ASPB in slot J13 - no Video Router I/O requirements
f. For the Serial Digital I/O in slots J14 and J15, which both require two

inputs and two outputs:

- Put check marks in both J14 and J15 Input blocks 1 and 2.

- Put check marks in both J14 and J15 Output blocks 1 and 2.

Analog Composit e Monitor Installation 23

Monitor Board Installation

2. From the Board I/O Requirements and Restrictions table, note that the
Analog Composite Monitor board requires four inputs and no outputs and
that the recommended slot is J12, with J6 and J7 as other possible slots.

3. Looking at your Board Location Chart , you see tha t the recommended slot,
J12, is open.

4. On your Board Location Chart:

- Put Xs in the J12 Input blocks 1-3.

- Put an X the shared J13 input block.

5. Write Analog Composite Monitor in the Boards column for slot J12 and
install the board.

Your Board Location Chart would then look similar to Table 3: Example 1.

Monitor Board Installation

Example 2

If you next want to install an Analog Composite I/O board:

1. From the Board I/O Requirements and Restrictions table, note that the
Analog Composite I/O board requir es 2 inputs and 2 outputs and that the first
recommended slot is J14 and the second rec ommended slot is J15, with slots
J11, J5, and J7 as other possibilities.

2. Looking at your Board Location Chart , you see tha t slot J11 is open.

3. On your Board Location Chart:

- Put Xs in the J11 Input blocks 1 and 2.

- Put Xs in the J11 Output blocks 1 and 2.

4. Write Analog Composite I/O in the Board column for slot J11 and insta ll
the board.

Your Board Location Chart would then look similar to Table 4: Example 2.

Monitor Board Installation

Audio Clock Cabling

NOTE: The Analog Composite Monitor board does not require audio clock
cabling. Audio clock cabling information is included here in the event that
you have to move boards around.

This section provides inf ormation a bout audio cloc k cabling. In general, if al l your
audio/video devices are connected to house reference, audio clock cabling is not
required. The need for audio clock cabling arises when an external audio clock
signal from the a ppropriate video boar d must be used to synchr onize the audio to
the video. Cabling between connectors on the top of the video boards and
connectors on the top of the ASPB provide the external audio clock signals.

ASPB Audio Clock Cabling

The ASPB provides for input of four external a udio clock signals, one to each
Audio 1-Audio 4 bank, where each bank consists of four audio channels. ASPB
Audio 1-Audio 4 connectors begin close st to the rear panel and go toward the front
panel.

In general, the video board in the lowest numbered slot must provide the audio
clock signal to the Audio 1 bank, the video board in the next lowest numbered slot
must provide the audio clock signal to the Audio 2 bank, etc. For example, if you
have video boards in slots J5 and J11, the audio clock signal from the one in J5
must be connected to Audio 1 on the ASPB and the audio clock signal from the
video board in slot J11 must be connected to Audio 2 on the ASPB.

Figures 4 and 5 show examp les of exter nal a udio clo ck cabli ng wit h the ASPB . In
Figure 4, Analog Co mposite I/O boa rds, installe d in slots J14 a nd J15, are the only
video boards. The audio clock cable connections are:

• Channel A of the board in slot J14 to Audio 1 on the ASPB in slot J13

• Channel B of the board in slot J14 to Audio 2 on the ASPB in slot J13

• Channel A of the board in slot J15 to Audio 3 on the ASPB in slot J13

• Channel B of the board in slot J15 to Audio 4 on the ASPB in slot J13

Monitor Board Installation

In Figure 5, the Analog Composite I/O board install ed in slot J11 makes it the firs t
video board, counti ng from J 5 to J15, and the Serial Di gital I/O b oard becomes the
second video board. You would have to move the Serial Digital I/O audio clock
cables from the AS PB Audio 1 and Audio 2 connectors t o, respectively, the Audio
3 and Audio 4 connectors. Audio clock cable connections are then:

• Analog Composite I/O Channel A to ASPB Audio 1

• Analog Composite I/O Channel B to ASPB Audio 2

• Serial Digital I/O Channel 1 to ASPB Audio 3

• Serial Digital I/O Channel 2 to ASPB Audio 4

Bear in mind that the ASPB only provid es for input of four audio clock si gnals
and note the following:

a. Figure 5 is an example of a 2-channel PDR 200 with one Serial Digital

I/O board.

b. If you have a 4-channel PDR200 with two Serial Digital I/O boards, all

four ASPB audio clock inputs may be connected.

c. If all four ASPB clock inputs are connected and you then install an Analog

Composite I/O board , you will ha ve more aud io cloc k signals than you ha ve
connections on the ASPB (two from the Analog Composite I/O board and
four from the two Serial Digital I/ O boards).

You will have to determi ne how you want to set your syste m up, that is, what you
want as the sources of the signals sychronizing the audio to the video. This is
primarily a software configuration function. However, how you configure the
audio clocks in sof tware must match the physi cal connec tions but If you choo se to
have the system clock as the synchroniz ing signalaudio clocks for the ASPB
Audio 1-Audio 4 banks. You will have to remove any unused cl ock cables and you
may have to move boards around to accommodate your setup.

Note that through Configur ation Manager (see the Profile Family User Manual),
you may assign the source of audio clocks as either from the system clock or a
video source. If a video source is sele cted, you must then ensure that the audio
associated with that video source is connected to the correct audio channel
connectors.

Figure 6 shows an example of an Analog Composite I/O board installation in a
PDR100 with two Analog Audio I/O boards. In the Figure 6, audio clock cable
connections are from:

• Analog Composite I/O Channel A to the RECORD connector on the Analog
Audio I/O board in the lowest numbered slot from slot J5 to slot J15.

• Analog Composite I/O Channel B to the RECORD connector on the Analog
Audio I/O board in the next lowest slot.

• PLAY connectors on both Audio I/O boards to any of the syste m clocks on
the RefGen board, or to any boar d which has system clock conn ectors (suc h
as the Analog Composite Output board).

Figure 6 is an example only. If you have other video boards installed, or add Audio
I/O boards,, you will have t o determine which video sour ce you want to use for t he
audio clock signals and make Audio I/O board connection adjustments
accordingly.
