Mounting in Rack
Rack mounting is not mandatory for ViBE EM4000 but the ventilation and
safety requirements given in this section must be observed in all cases.
ViBE EM4000 Installation Requirements
This section lists the principles to be observed and the steps to be taken
when installing ViBE EM4000 in a 19" rack.
Restrictions must be observed:
related to ventilation (see section
’Ventilation’
on page 18)
related to cabling (see section
’Cabling’ on page 23
)
related to EMC ground (see section
’EMC Ground’ on page 23
)
related to Power supply and protective ground (see section
’Power
Supply and Protective Ground’ on page 24
).
Ventilation
Please note that product failure rates are increased by high
temperatures. The following precautions should therefore be observed:
Prevent hot air from one device being introduced into other devices.
Ensure adequate distribution of air flows to the device intakes.
Avoid the effects of natural convection between devices.
Avoid hot/cold air short-circuits.
Avoid transverse effects in coupled racks.
Prevent hot air from accumulating in the rack.
Check the air flows: the rack should ensure a sufficient supply of cold
air and sufficient evacuation of hot air (according to the number of
devices mounted in the rack and their corresponding air flows).
The following important requirements should be noted in addition to the
general recommendations:
The chassis must not be fixed with its rack mounting ears only. If you
intend to install it in a rack, L-profiles are required and you must
observe the ventilation and safety instructions described in the
following sections.
Page 31
Chapter 2 ’Installation and Startup’ — Mounting in Rack
ViBE EM4000 — Release 1.10 19
User Manual — 46073586AB02
The device must be installed in a room with low dust levels. The
maximum density of dust in the air must not exceed 100μg/m
3
and the
maximum number of particles with a diameter greater than 1μm must
not exceed 1 million/m
3
. To prevent the power supply from
overheating, remember to regularly clean the rack filter (if there is
one) according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and clean
ViBE EM4000’s air inlet grill (at least once a year).
There must be enough room for a column of cold air to circulate on
the front of the chassis and a column of hot air to circulate on the rear
of the chassis.
Cut the L-profiles so as they do not exceed 4 mm in height in the areas
facing ViBE EM4000’s air outlet. This will prevent any hot air from
accumulating in the device.
Figure 2-1. L-profiles
Given its 1RU height, ViBE EM4000 can be placed on top of another
ViBE EM4000. It is however advisable to observe the following
restrictions:
It is possible to stack ViBE EM4000s in groups of two, each
group being separated from another group by a space of 1RU.
Failure to observe these installation requirements will directly
result in a deterioration in performance, reliability and service
life of equipment.
According to rack deph

Cabling
It is essential to separate the power supply cables from the signal cables.
When facing the rear of the rack (as the device is connected via the rear
panel), the power supply cables must be guided to the right of the chassis
and the signal cables to the left.
EMC Ground
The EMC connection is required to ensure ground equipotentiality
between the different devices in the technical center (only one
connection is required per device).
Each Encoder side panel features a tapped hole to connect a bonding
strip. The bonding strip can be fixed either on one side of the chassis
(right or left side) or on the rear of the chassis (left side).
Fixing the bonding strip on the back of the chassis. The bonding strip
is fixed using an M4 nut (provided with the product). It must have a
6mm² cross-section and be under 500mm in length.
Fixing the bonding strip on the side of the chassis. The bonding strip
is fixed using an M4 screw whose length depends on the bonding strip
type (no more than 15 mm of the screw must be inserted into the
Encoder). The bonding strip must have a 6 mm² cross-section and be
under 500 mm in length.
The rack EMC DC bus (to which the ViBE EM4000 EMC strip is connected)
must be connected to the rack ground pin. This pin is also connected to
the safety ground.

Otherwise, it is advisable to use mains cables with the following features:
Device end of cable: IEC 320 compliant connector
Flexible wire: 3 x 1 mm2 cross-section or 18 AWG, 10 A minimum,
250 V compliant with the applicable standard or rules of the country
where the device is installed
Mains outlet end of cable: plug compliant with the applicable standard
or rules of the country where the device is installed.
Connecting AC Mains Power Supply Cord(s)
Power Supply End
The connection panel should comply with the legislation in force in the
country of installation. The connection panel must be positioned in the
rack in such a way that the plug and power cord(s) are within easy reach
for switching off purposes.
For (each) mains inlet, the wiring system must feature overload and earth
fault protection and a bipolar cut-off device or a differential circuit
breaker. If in doubt, contact a qualified electrician.
ViBE EM4000 End
Plug the power cord(s) into the mains inlet(s).

Powering Up
Connect the power cords. The green Power LED(s) PSU 1 (and PSU 2 if
optional PSU is installed) will come on.
After a start-up phase, the device will become operational. When the
device is switched on, the last stored configuration will be active.

P Picture Period (M) Used to set the repetition rate for P pictures. This
parameter depends on the
Adaptive GOP
parameter. It
is always lower than the
GOP size
parameter or egal to
1
.
A lower value will reduce the number of B-pictures in
the GOP (these pictures are the most efficient in terms
of compression ratio).
Note: The best video quality is achieved with the
P
picture period (M)
set to M=8.
GOP Size (N) Used to set the repetition rate for I-pictures.
Value between
P Picture Period (M)
and 64. The
GOP
Size (N)
value must be a multiple of the
P Picture
Period (M
) value.
As I-pictures require more bits than B or P pictures, a
bigger GOP size leads to better encoding performance.
Adaptive GOP Used to set the Adaptive GOP feature. Choice between:
Fixed GOP
: In this mode, both P picture period and
GOP size are set to the values M and N above.
Adaptive GOP (Full)
: In this mode, the effective
GOP
size (N)
and the
P picture period (M)
vary according to
video content (i.e. spatio-temporal complexity and
events such as scene changes or fades). In this case, the
effective GOP size varies from M up to N + 8 max.
(encoding order), where M and N are the values set
above.
Adaptive GOP (Restricted)
: This mode is a limitation of
the full adaptive mode where the effective GOP size
varies from M up to N + 1. This restriction can lead to
lower video quality around scene changes.
Note: The best video quality is achieved with full
adaptive GOP mode. The other two modes are used for
conformance tests and/or interoperability purposes.

Closed GOP mode:
Closed GOP mode is used to break temporal
dependency between GOPs. This requires
systematically encoding a P picture before each I
picture in temporal order. This mode reduces encoding
quality and should only be used when stream editing
operations are expected.
Note: When Closed GOP is used, the effective GOP size
is enlarged by one picture to handle the additional P
picture used to close the GOP.

information, extracted from the
