3 Connect the Film Recorder
Connection Types
ProPalette film recorders have a parallel port for connection to a
Windows computer, and a SCSI port for connection to either a
Macintosh computer or to a Windows computer with a SCSI host
adapter installed.
The software kit for Windows systems includes a parallel cable,
but you can connect your system to the SCSI port if you have a
SCSI host adapter installed and a SCSI connection cable (not
included).
If you install a SCSI host adapter, follow the instructions provided
by the adapter manufacturer. Host adapters may not be available
for some iMac computers.

In this example, the film recorder is the only SCSI device and
must be terminated. This example shows external termination
using a separate terminator (not included). The film recorder
may also be terminated internally, see below. Connect the SCSI
terminator either between the SCSI cable and the film recorder or
to the second SCSI connector on the film recorder rear panel.
In this example, the film recorder is the last device in the SCSI
chain and must be terminated. This example shows external termination using a separate terminator (not included). The film
