Analog Composite I/O Installation

Introduction

Use these instructions to install the Analog Composite I/O (Input /Output) board
into a Profile PDR100 Video Disk Recorder or PDR200 Video File Server. The
Analog Composite I/O board accepts two co mposite analog video inputs, and
provides two composite analog video outputs. The board is also equipped with an
S-Video connector, which al lows video i nput to t he Profile system dir ectl y from a
source such as a vi deo cassette recorder. The board provides time base correction
for any one input.

The instructions include procedures for opening the Profile chassis, removing
existing boards, if necessary, to make room for the new board, installing the new
board, closing the Profile chassis, and verifying that the board is correctly
installed. There is also a board location guide that you can use to select a slot in the
Profile chassis in which to insta ll the board and audio clock cabling information.

You can install the bo ard with the Pr ofile chassis fu lly extende d on the rac k slides
if the equipment rack is adequately mounted to prevent tipping, and if there is
sufficient sl ack in the cables connected to t he rear panel to allow t he chassis to fully
extend on the slides.

If it is nec essary for you to remove the Profile cha ssis from the equipment rack to
perform this insta lla tio n, refe r to the Installation Manual for ins tructions.

WARNING: Unless the eq uip m ent rac k is adeq uat ely a nch o r ed, th e rac k

!

could tip when the chassis is extended on the rack slides. To avoid possible
injury, make sure the rack is firmly anchored before ext ending the chassis on
the rack slides.

Electrostatic Precautions

CAUTION: This product contains components that are highly sensitive to

!

electrostatic discharge. To protect these components from damage and to
maintain product reliability, take the following precautions when handling
the circuit boards:

• Handle all circuit boards in a static-protected area capable of controlling
static charge on conductive materials, people, and no n-conductive mate rials.
Static-prote cted are as include non-sta tic t able t ops and non-st at ic floor mats.

• Handle the circuit board s only by the edges . Avoid touc hing the printed
wires on the back of the circuit board as much as possible.

• Leave the board in its static-shielded bag until you are ready to install the
