Fibre Channel Kit Description
The Fibre Channel upgr ade provides for connect ivity and high speed data t ransfers
between Profile systems. A LAN network (or Ethernet hub) and a Fibre Channel
hub are required to connect groups of grea ter than two Profile systems and, in
general, one set of hu bs is requ ired fo r each g roup of Profile systems to be
connected.
Fibre Cha nn e l Boa r d
The Fibre Channel (FC) board is a networkin g device which uses the Fibre
Channel Arbitrated Loop ( FCAL) protocol. The FC board is compatible with the
Peripheral Component I nterc onnect (PCI) local bus. With the on-boar d Gigabau d
Link Module (GLM), the FC board provides the functionality to network
numerous Profile systems.
Master Enhanced Disk Recorder Board
The Master Enhanced Disk Recorder (MEDR) board provides high bandwidth
data transfe rs from disk to and from video channels and the Fibre Channel board.
Additionally the i960 enhancements include a Global PCI, a Local PCI (LPCI),
and the i960 processor.
Slave Enhanced Disk Recorder Board
The Slave Enhanced Disk Recorder (SEDR) board is the same as the MEDR with
the following exceptions:
• It does not have the i960 processor section.
• Arbitration, interrupt, and clock lines are from the MEDR.
10/100 BaseT Ethernet Board
This board provides the Ethernet connection for the Profile system.
PCI Interconnect Board
This is a passive 3-conne ctor boa rd which provi des local bus connection betwee n
the Master ED R bo ard , the Slav e EDR , an d the FC board. It is attached to
connectors on the top edges of these boards.

Fibre Cha nn e l Cab le
The cable connecting the Profile system to a Hub is a 5 meter, copper wire cable
with a DB-9 connect or on each end. Note that other lengths of cable are available
from your Grass Valley Group representative. Also note that for distances greate r
than 25 meters, quality will begin to deteriorate and a fiber-optic cable with
copper-to-fi ber adapters is then recommended.

A Profile Video Network requires a n Etherne t Local Ar ea Network (LAN) to
communi cate co m mand and status info rm at ion b et ween s ystems. If your Profile
systems are not connected to an existing LAN, Grass Valley Group recommends
Ethernet connecti on to a LAN hub or switch.
Similarly, connecting more than two Profile systems to a Fibre Channel Network
requires the use of a Fibre Channel hub or switc h. In addit ion, each Profil e s ystem
more than 25 meters f rom the Fibr e C hannel hub, switch o r an other P rofil e syst em
needs a fiber-optic cable and copper-to-fiber cable adap ters. Figure 2 shows an
example of connecting Profile systems up to and more than 25 meters apart.

Networking Overview
This section contain s information about networking Profile systems and Ethernet.
Network Configurations
Ethernet and Fibre Channel provide two types of networking. Etherne t provides a
path for command and status signals from one device to another. It also allows
Windows NT file transfers between devices.
Fibre Channel provide s connectivity for high speed media data transfers between
Profile system s .
Using Fibre Channel to network groups of greater than two Profile systems
requires an existing Ethernet network (LAN) or an Ethernet hub and a Fibre
Channel hub.
Network Models
The following discusses two example s of Ethernet and Fibre Channel networking.
The first example shows connect ion of several Profile systems with an Etherne t
hub (or existing Ethernet network) and a Fibre Channel hub. The second example
of Ethernet and Fibre Channel networking shows connection of several hubs.
Networking Overview

Networking Several Profile Systems
Hubs provide an easy and efficient method for the connection and disconnection
of machines without rewiri ng. I f you want to connect more than two Profile
systems togethe r for video ne tworking, you will need t o connect each sys tem to an
Ethernet hub or an existing Ether net network and a Fibre Channel Hub. Figure 5
shows an example of this networking.

Networking Several Hubs
Connecting hubs together provides a way to add more and more systems to the
network. Large Fibre Channel networks will probably not perform as well as
smaller ones due to bandwidth lim itati ons. Figure 6 shows a simple use of several
hubs.

The number of hu bs re quire d depends o n th e number of conne ction s sup porte d by
each hub. Remember that one of the connections is needed to connect to the next
hub. You must use appropriate cables fo r the distance between devices.
Building a Fibre Channel Network
The simplest network connect ion is the point-to-point connection shown in
Figure 7. This method allows you to conn ect two Profile systems togeth er, which
is the ideal installation fo r initial setup to ensure that all components are working
and correctly config ured be fore adding additional Profile systems to your Fibre
Channel network.

static charge on c onductive materia ls , people, and non-con ductive mate ria ls.
Static-prote cted areas include non-static table tops and non-static floor mats.
• Use a static discharge wrist strap when handling circuit boards.
• Handle the circuit board s only by the edges. Avoid touching 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
board.

Profile Chassis Removal
To remove the Prof ile chassi s from the equ ipment rack:
!
!
WARNING: Unless the equi pment rack is adeq uat el y anch o r ed, th e rac k
could tip when the Profile chassis is extended on the rack slides. To avoid
possible injury to person nel or damage to the equipm ent, make sure th e rack
is firmly anchored before exte nding the Profile chassis on the rack slides.
1. Loosen the Pr ofile chassis retaining screw which secures the Profile chassis
to the rack.
2. Use the Profile chass is front panel handles to sli de the chassis out of the rack
until the rack slide locks engage.
WARNING: The Profile chassis is too heavy for one person to remove from
an equipment rack. To avoid possible injury to personnel or damage to the
equipment, get help when removing the Profile chassis from the rack.
3. Being sure to fully support the Prof ile chassis, depress the slide locks and
slide the chassis out free of the rack and place on a flat level surface with
enough room to work around it.
Covers Removal
There are two covers which need to be removed to gain access to the board area:
the disk drive top cover and the board area top c over. The disk drive cover acts as
a hold down for the board area cover and therefore must be removed first. See
Figure 8.
NOTE: If your PDR100 has been upgraded to 9GB disk drives, it will have
more disk drive cover screws than shown in Figure 8.

Board Retainer Brackets Removal
There are two re tainer brackets l ocated in the board area that must be removed in
order to remove circuit boards. One is slotted so that it holds full size boards in
place and helps maintain their ali gnment. Although the other bracket holds short
boards in place, it must also be removed to remove any full siz e boards. This
bracket has extenders which may be moved to adapt to the locations of any short
boards. See Figure 9 for locations and removals of the two board retaine r brackets.
To remove the board hold-down bracket s, r efe r to Figure 9 and:

Removing Old Boards
If you currently have a 2-channel PDR100 system, you must remove the Master
Disk Recorder board. I f you curr ently have a 4- channel syst em, you must re move
the Master Disk Recorder and the Slave Disk Recorder boards. Also, for both
2-channel and 4-channel systems, if you currently have an Ethernet 10 BaseT
board, you must remove that board.
To remove the old Master and, if installe d, Sl ave Disk Recorder boards:
1. Use the Torx tool with the T15 tip to remove the screws which secure each
board to the rear panel (see Figur e 11 for an example).
2. Use the extraction lever on the front of each boa rd and the extracti on ring at
the back of each board to lift the circuit board free of the connectors on the
motherboard.

Board Location Guide
This board location guide ide ntifies the inputs and outputs of each Profi le board
currently avail able for a PDR100, 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 motherboard a nd 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 oc cupy 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 board
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 provide the same number of video
I/O connections. Therefore, you must know how many input and output
connections the board need s, and the slot available that meets those needs.
Board I/O Requirements and Restrictions
Table 3 lists each of the boards which may be installed 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 th e Video Router connections available at slots J5-J15. Table 4
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 curren tly 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 at
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.

Selecting a Location
Here’s how to use the tables to select a location for a board.
1. In the Board Location C hart, Tab le 4, enter the board name and, referring to
Board I/O Requ irements a nd Restrictio ns, Table 3, put a check mark i n each
input and output block u sed by each board cu rrently inst alle d in your Profil e
syst e m. Start with the 1 block for each board.
2. Look in the Board I/O Requirements and Restric tions, Table 3, 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 B oard Location Chart, Ta ble 4, for a slot with the r equired Vide o
Router connections avai lable. Starting with the 1 block, put an “X” in each
block that correspond s to an input and output r equirement 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 requirements for 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 can’t find an open slot with the I/O which meets 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 experim e nt with various board locations be fore
deciding on one.
The following examples de monstrate how to u se the Board I /O Requirements and
Restrictions, Table 3, and the Board Location Chart, Table 4.
42 PDR 100 Fibre Channel Install ation
Page 43
Board Location Guide
Example 1
This example shows how to use the Board I/O Requirements and Restrictions,
Table 3, and the Board Loca tion Chart, Table 4, to install a Fibre Channel upgrade
into a 4-channel PDR100 with two Serial I/O boards and four Audio I/O boards.
In all likelihood, you will have to move boards before you can install the Fibre
Channel upgrade. Move the boards bef ore using the Board Location Chart. For this
example:
1. Move the Serial I/O in slot J8 to slot J7.
2. Move the Audio I/O board in slot J9 to slot J8.
3. Move the Audio I/O board in slot J10 to slot J9.
4. Move the Serial I/O in slot J11 to slot J10.
5. Move the Audio I/O board in slot J12 to slot J11.
6. Move the Audio I/O board in slot J13 to slot J12.
7. Now fill in the Board Location Chart.
a. For the Serial I/O in slot J7, which requires two inputs and two outputs:
- Write Serial I/O in Slot 7.
- Put check marks in the 1 and 2 Input blocks for J7.
- Put check marks in the 1 and 2 Output blocks for J7.
b. For the Audio I/O boards in slots J8 and J9, which requi re no Video Router
connections:
- Write Audio I/O in Slot J8 and Slot J9.
c. For the Serial I/O in slot J10, which requires two inputs and two outputs:
- Write Serial I/O in Slot 10.
- Put check marks in the 1 and 2 Input blocks for J10.
- Put check marks in the 1 and 2 Output blocks for J10.
d. For the Audio I/O boards in slots J11 and J12, which require no Video
Router connections:
- Write Audio I/O in Slot J11 and Slot J12.
PDR 100 Fibre Channel Installation 43
Page 44
PDR 100 Fibre Channel Installation
8. From the Board I/O Requirements and Restri ctions, Table 3, note that:
a. The Slave EDR board requires two inputs and two outputs and must be
adjacent to the Mast er E DR b o ard.
b. The Master EDR boar d requires two inputs and two outputs and must be
adjacent to both the Slave EDR and the Fibre Channel boa rds.
c. The Fibre Channel board does not require inputs or outputs but must be
adjacent to the Mast er E DR b o ard.
9. Looking at your Board Location Chart reveals that slots J13, J14, and J15
meet requirements for all three boards.
10. For the Slave EDR board:
- Put Xs in the 1 and 2 Input blocks for J13.
- Put Xs in the 1 and 2 Output blocks for J13,
- Write Slave EDR in the Boards column for Slot J13, and install the board.
11. For the Master EDR board:
- Put Xs in the 1 and 2 Input blocks for J14.
- Put Xs in the 1 and 2 Output blocks for J14.
- Write Master EDR in the Boards column for Slot J14, and install the bo ard.
12. Write Fibre Channel in the Boards column for slot J15 a nd install the board.
• Your Board Location Chart would the n look similar to Table 5, “Example 1

2. Looking at your Board Location Chart , you see tha t slot J7 is occupied but
that slot J6 is open and although it only has five Inputs, t he 6th Input can be
the input shared with J5, which is open.
3. On your Board Location Chart for the Mix Effects boa rd :
- Put Xs in the 1-5 Input blocks for J6.
- Put an X in the shared Input block for J5.
- Put Xs in the 1 and 2 Output blocks for J6.
4. Write Mix Effects in the Board column for slot J6 and ins tall the board.

Audio Clock Cabling
This section provides some general rules about audio clock cabling. Audio clock
signals from the appropr iate video board synchronize the audio to the video during
Record. Internal cabling between connectors on the top of the video boards and
connectors on the top of the audio board s provide the clock signals to the audio
boards.
In general, the video board in the lowest numbered slot provides the audio clock
signal to an Audio I/O board, the video board in the next lowest numbered slot
provides the audio clock signal to another Audio I/O board, etc.
Figure 13 shows an example of internal audio clock cabling. In Figure 13, Serial
I/O boards, installed in slots J 7 and J10, are the only v ideo boards. The audio c lock
cable connect io n s are:
• Channel 1 of the Seria l I/O board in slot J7 t o Audi o 1 (PLAY) on t he Audio
I/O in slot J8
• Channel 2 of the Seria l I/O board in slot J7 t o Audi o 2 (PLAY) on t he Audio
I/O in slot J9
• Channel 1 of the Serial I/O board in slot J10 to Audio 3 (RECORD) on the
Audio I/O in slot J11
• Channel 2 of the Serial I/O board in slot J10 to Audio 4 (RECORD) on the
Audio I/O in slot J12
• PLAY from all four Audio I/O boards to the system clocks on the RefGen
board.
Note that Figure 13 is an example with video boards only in slot s J7 and J10. If
you have other video boards in lower numbered slots, you will have to determine
how you want to set your system up. You will have to remove any unused clock
cables and you may have to move boards around to accommodate your setup.
Also note that you must be su re to connect audio sources associated with a video
board to the correct XLR connectors on the audio bre akout box.
