Rack-Mounting Your SCRIPT Viewer System

The SCRIPT Viewer CPU contains the hardware and software for creating and editing SCRIPT Viewer files, as well as setting up and controlling the data displayed on the remote SCRIPT Viewer flat-panel displays. The following pages explain how to mount, connect, and install your SCRIPT Viewer system.

Rack-Mounting the CPU

The CPU is designed to fit into a standard 19” wide equipment rack and requires 7” of vertical rack space. Check with the rack manufacturer for its exact measurements. The CPU should not be mounted directly above or below other devices such as amplifiers or uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) that generate high levels of ambient heat. The SCRIPT Viewer CPU should be installed only in a location in which the ambient temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18°C 24°C).

To rack-mount the SCRIPT Viewer CPU into a standard 19” rack or console:

1. Remove all packing materials from the CPU and make note of the connections on the rear of the box.

2. The SCRIPT Viewer system includes a 25-pin software key required for operating the SCRIPTview software. This key can be installed prior to mounting the CPU into the rack. The key should be connected to the mating 25-pin port on the rear of the CPU and secured using a small flat-blade screwdriver.

3. Holding the CPU firmly by the sides, carefully slide the box into the rack from the front. Position the box completely into the rack and make sure that the four holes on each corner align with corresponding holes on the rack brackets. If these holes do not align, you may have a problem with the rack and it may be necessary to reposition other devices.

4. Use four standard rack-mount screws (not included) to secure the CPU to the rack. You also may wish to use Teflon washers under the screw-heads to protect the

finish on the CPU box. Screws and washers of the proper size are typically available from the rack manufacturer.

5. Loosely tighten one screw at a time, using slight pressure on the front-mounted handles to lift or lower the box for exact alignment of the holes.

Forcing a screw to turn with the unsupported weight of the CPU box on its threads can damage the screw and/or the threaded hole.

6. After all four screws have been installed, and the CPU is in place, go back and hand tighten the screws firmly.

Connection Block Diagrams

The PVTV SCRIPT Viewer accommodates up to four flat-panel displays per Distribution Amplifier (DA). With additional DAs, it can control as many displays as you need. It also can be configured to work with or without CameraManSTUDIO. The next two pages illustrate how to connect SCRIPT Viewer in various system configurations.

Connecting to Single-Camera Systems

When connecting SCRIPT Viewer directly to a single camera, you do not need to use the T-Connector included with the system. That connector is used when you connect SCRIPT Viewer to PVTV STUDIO, and when multiple cameras are daisy-chained.

Page 8

Page 9

Connection Block Diagrams

Connecting to Multi-Camera Systems

Connecting SCRIPT Viewer to a multi-camera system is essentially the same as a single-camera system, except that you must use a T-Connector to daisy-chain the cameras. This allows each camera to have communications with the SCRIPT Viewer CPU.

Connecting to PVTV STUDIO

When used with PVTV STUDIO, SCRIPT Viewer can be controlled in three ways: 1) from the SCRIPTedit interface, 2) from within the PVTV STUDIO interface, and 3) from a hand-held wireless keypad. The diagram to the right explains how to connect SCRIPT Viewer to PVTV STUDIO to facilitate the following control functions:

Network Communications- This one-wire connection facilitates information sharing between SCRIPT Viewer and PVTV STUDIO. This enables you to operate SCRIPT Viewer from within the PVTV STUDIO interface.

RS-485 Communications- This connection enables you to make adjustments to the script using a wireless keypad. This requires the use of a T-Connector.

Page 10

Installing the Flat-Panel Display

Before you begin connecting cables, you need to mount the flat-panel displays on the cameras. The displays are designed to fit securely on the top of each camera, allowing it to pan and tilt with the motion of the camera.

Installing the Anti-Glare Hood

Your SCRIPT Viewer system comes with an Anti-Glare Hood. When properly installed, it protects the flat-panel display from the glare of studio lights.

The anti-glare hood should be installed onto the flat panel display before the display is mounted to the camera, to reduce the risk of stress on the camera brackets/gears.

The Anti-Glare hood is delivered as a flat piece of plastic and must be bent at the seams to attach to your display. There are also 6 velcro attachments that allow the hood to be mounted on the display. The hood should be installed on the display before attaching the display to the camera brackets (the bracketrs are factory-installed).

To install the Anti-Glare hood:

1. Bend the flat, plastic hood at the five (5) seams to configure it for your display.

2. Peel the plastic off the velcro attachments leaving the two pieces together.

3. Take your display and gently wrap the hood around it. The velcro attachments should attach to the back of the panel.

4. Press the velcro attachments firmly in place to secure the hood to the display.

Mounting the Display

The flat-panel display is shipped with mounting brackets attached. These brackets are designed to mate with display brackets optionally installed on 1-CCD and 3CCD ParkerVision cameras. Ensure that your display(s) and your camera(s) are fitted with the proper brackets.

CameraMan cameras intended to be used with SCRIPT Viewer displays are shipped from the factory with display brackets attached. If you are attaching a display to a previously-purchased camera, you need to send the camera to ParkerVision to have display brackets installed. See the contact information on pages 2-3.

The camera’s display brackets contain four holes on each bracket.

• When installing the display on 3-CCD cameras, use the top two holes.

• When installing the display on 1-CCD cameras, use the bottom two holes.

Attaching the Display

To attach the display:

1. Using a CameraMan SHOT Director, or Camera Control Keypad, tilt the camera all the way UP. This will keep the camera from ratcheting while you are attaching the display.

2. Using the supplied #10 screws, loosely thread one screw into each display bracket in the LOWER screw hole corresponding to your camera type (the bottom hole for 1CCD, the second from the top for 3-CCD).

3. Install the flat-panel display by sliding the display’s attached mounting brackets over the outside of the camera’s display brackets so that the slotted end of the mounting bracket arms rest on the screws applied in step 2.

Be aware that the camera becomes top-heavy after you install the SCRIPT Viewer display unit. Severe damage to both the display and the camera can result from the units tipping over and falling.

4. Without releasing the display, thread one of the remaining #10 screws through the remaining hole in the mounting bracket and into the display bracket. Screw it in tightly.

5. Using the same method as step 4, thread the final screw into the remaining hole on the other bracket. Screw it in tightly.

6. Tighten all screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

The VGA Distribution Amplifier (DA) is used by the SCRIPT Viewer system to distribute the SCRIPT Viewer data to the flat-panel displays. The DA can sit on a flat surface, or can be rack-mounted with the optional rack-mount unit from ParkerVision.

This DA is required to drive the flat-panel displays, even if you are using only a single display.

Page 12

Connecting the SCRIPT Viewer System

Connecting the DA to the SCRIPT Viewer CPU

The preferred method of installing the DA is in a 19” wide rack. This ensures that cabling to and from the unit is protected, and any future service is accomplished more easily.

1. Locate the video connectors on the rear of the DA - they are marked VIDEO IN (one connector) and VIDEO OUT



(four connectors).

2. Connect one end of the 6’ VGA extension cable (included with SCRIPT Viewer) to the DA connector port marked VIDEO IN. Connect the other end to the DA port



on the rear

panel of the CPU.

Connecting the DA to the SCRIPTview Displays

1. Insert the male end of the 25’ VGA cable (included with SCRIPT Viewer) into one of the VIDEO OUT



ports on the DA, and the female end into the display’s attached

VGA/power cable



. Repeat for each additional display.

2. Connect the flat-panel’s power supply



to the power jack on the display’s attached VGA/power cable, then plug the cord into a grounded power outlet. Repeat for each display.

3. Connect the supplied DA power cable



to the DA, and plug it into a power outlet.

Power may be applied to the display at any time. Since the supply always provides power to the backlight of the display when plugged in, it is best to unplug the supply from the power jack when not in use.

Make sure all Monitor Type DIP Switches on the front of the DA are in the UP position. This ensures that the monitor ID bits are read from the flat-panel display plugged into the Monitor 1 output port.

At least one flat-panel display must be plugged into the Monitor 1 output port, regardless of the number of displays.

Connecting the SCRIPT Viewer Keypad

Your PVTV SCRIPT Viewer comes with a Keypad that can be operated in either wireless RF or hard-wired mode. You will need to set the base address to use the keypad with SCRIPT Viewer.

Page 16

The remote keypad included with your SCRIPT Viewer system operates via RF (Radio Frequency), and is coded to communicate reliably with ParkerVision cameras. Under normal operating conditions this keypad should not be affected by outside interference. However, if you operate one or more additional SCRIPT Viewer systems within 2000’ (610 m) of one another, it will be necessary for ParkerVision Support to modify one or more of your SCRIPT Viewer systems to enable all remote keypads to operate without interfering with one another. See pages 2-3 for ParkerVision Support information.

Attaching the Keypad

You can control a script with a SCRIPT Viewer keypad or through the computer keyboard and mouse. The keypad can control the SCRIPT Viewer through RF or it can be hardwired to the camera. When your camera is shipped to you, there is a 6-pin, 25’ PVI cable included. This cable can be used to hardwire either the Tracking System Keypad (TSK), the Camera Control Keypad (CCK) or the Script Viewer Keypad (SVK).

1. To hardwire the keypad to the camera, insert the keypad cable into the PVI COM port on the back of your ParkerVision camera.

2. If using the keypad in the wireless mode, two (2) AA batteries are required.

Verifying The Keypad Address

The SCRIPTviewer keypad and CPU adrresses are preset at the factory. You should never have to change this address.

Verify that the keypad address is set to F and that no other cameras in the network are set to this address.

For multiple-camera applications, refer to page 9.

For information on how to set the Base Unit Address on your CameraMan camera, refer to the 1-CCD or 3-CCD CameraMan’s installation and operations manual.
