Introduction
The Vela CineCast® HD series of high-definition decoders are SCSI-based MPEG-2 audio/video decoders designed for High Definition Television (HDTV) applications. Such applications include broadcast, post production, advertising and other video distribution applications; large-format point-of­information applications (such as those found in large theme park and sports venues) using new plasma display technology and new-generation 16:9 display devices and projection systems; high-resolution output such as e-cinema; HD content repurposing; and digital archiving applications.
Examples of CineCast HD users are HD production facilities needing an upstream decoding device for studio signal monitoring or to feed downstream HD switchers and routers or HD DVE equipment. Another end use example would be that of a movie theater requiring decoders for e-cinema applications.
The CineCast HD version 1.0 series of decoders come in one-channel (Model HD/1) and two-channel (Model HD/2) models designed to be conveniently mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, occupying one rack unit of space. The CineCast HD is also available in a standalone board version, Model 2000-2165.
Features such as genlock capability, a 2x1 A/V switcher, redundant power supplies, triple stereo AES audio, two to six channels of SMPTE 299M digital audio, AAC and MPEG audio, Dolby Digital (AC-3) bitstream out, and dual analog stereo audio make the CineCast HD ideal for high-end professional applications. In addition, SMPTE 337M AES/EBU compressed bitstream output is supported. Each decode channel supports individual LTC time code outputs. The HD supports one General Purpose Interface (GPI) input and output per channel.
The CineCast HD is fully ATSC compliant, supporting all 18 ATSC modes. It provides LTC time code output support and VIP 2.0 over-the-top video bus for VGA display of HD resolution video. It also implements the Vela Media Bridge bus, designed to work in conjunction with another CineCast HD decoder for switching functionality.

Introduction
2 CineCast HD Version 2.6 Installation and User Manual
Every effort has been made to maintain software compatibility with the existing CineCast SCSI family system software. The current release is version 2.6. The CineCast HD operates under Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, and Solaris.
The CineCast HD is built around the TeraLogic TL850 and TL855 HD decoder chips. The primary differences between the TeraLogic TL850 and TL855 HD decoder chips is that the TL850 supports only 4:2:0 HD profile decoding while it offers a broad range of SD to HD, HD to SD, and HD to HD scaling capabilities. The optional TL855 offers 4:2:2 profile SD and HD playback.
The CineCast HD incorporates some technologies from the existing CineView Pro XL and CineCast Quad Pro decoders, namely the SCSI Ultra-2 LVDS interface, the VIP 2.0 interface, transcode bus, AC-3/AAC audio, and miscellaneous I/O compo­nents. In addition, the CineCast HD introduces a number of new features and capabilities not found in other Vela products, including the use of the Teralogic TL850 and TL855 decoders.
A primary design goal has been to support the CineCast HD as a subset of an expanded CineCast Quad Pro API. This provides existing customers an imme­diate upgrade path to the CineCast HD from the CineCast Quad Pro, the Cine­Cast Quad, and the CineCast Prime decoder products.
Configuration
The CineCast HD SCSI decoder is designed to interface to a SCSI Ultra-2 Fast-40 LVDS (or SCSI Ultra-Fast-20) single-ended interface. A sketch of the decoder, along with pinouts of audio connectors, and views of the front and back panels, is provided at the end of this chapter.

Decoder Installation
Chapter 1 — Getting Started 11
The SCSI Interface
The Vela CineCast HD decoder connects to the host system through a Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) interface. This interface conforms to the following ANSI standards, except as detailed in this specification. The type of interface is Low Voltage Differential Signal (LVDS) Ultra-2 (Fast-40), which is compatible with single-ended (SE) Ultra (Fast-20) SCSI.
American National Standards Institute SCSI Standards
SCSI-3 Architectural Model (SAM) X.3.270:1996
SCSI-3 Interlocked Protocol (SIP) X.3.292:1997
SCSI-3 Primary Commands (SPC) X.3.301:1997

SCSI-3 Parallel Interface-2 (SPI-2) X.3.302:1999
SCSI-3 Fast-20 Parallel Interface (Fast-20)X.3.277:1996
SCSI IDs
Typically, each device on a SCSI bus, including the host adapter, must have a unique SCSI ID. The SCSI ID serves two purposes:
• It uniquely defines each SCSI device on the bus.
• It determines the device’s priority on the bus during arbitration for the bus.
Setting the Decoder’s SCSI ID
The SCSI ID of the CineCast HD decoder is set via the SCSI ID selector switch located on the rear of the board or on the rear panel of HD/1 and HD/2 models. It should be noted that ID7 is usually reserved for the SCSI initiator (host adapter). On HD/2 decoders, a unique ID should be set for each of the two boards
Priority in Arbitrating For the Bus
• Normally, the SCSI initiator (host adapter) is set for SCSI ID 7, which is the highest priority.
• Each SCSI device on the bus must have a unique SCSI ID.
• Not all host adapters support SCSI IDs 8–15.
• Some host adapters and operating systems have further restrictions on SCSI IDs for hard disk, CD-ROMs, and tape drives.
• Operating systems and SCSI device drivers may restrict the use of SCSI IDs to SCSI IDs 0 through 7 only.
Decoder Installation
12 CineCast HD Version 2.6 Installation and User Manual
Bus Termination
A terminator switch is located on the rear of the decoder board. Setting the switch to the left position (farthest away from the connector area) enables termination.
Model HD/2 decoders should have termination enabled on only one of the two boards contained within the unit, per general SCSI procedures.
Host Adapter (Initiator) Configuration
The following Ultra-2 SCSI host adapters, based on the PCI bus, are recommended:
• Qlogic™ Ultra-2 Wide SCSI host adapter, model QLA-1080.
• Adaptec™ 29160 Ultra 160 host adapter.

Jumper Information
See Figure 1-22 for jumper locations on the HD circuit board. Most jumpers should be left in their factory default positions.
In case of a corrupt firmware, situation, Jumper JP6 will need to be reconfigured from its default 16-bit boot mode to an 8-bit boot mode to enable recovery of firmware settings. See Figure 1-2 for default and firmware recovery setting.
Jumper JP9 indicates the primary Vela Media Bus decoder board. In board-only and Model HD/1 versions, the jumper is normally open. In the case of HD/2 models (with two boards), one and only one of the two boards should have this jumper enabled. See Figure 1-2 for primary VMB jumper placement.
Connector Locations and Pinouts
Refer to Figure 1-22 to locate and identify the various connectors, switches and jumpers that populate the CineCast HD decoder board. Two BNC connectors are provided for digital video output and genlock input. Connector P1 is a Molex brand “Microcross” (P&D) multi-functional connector through which the decoded signals are output.
CineCast HD Multi-Output Cable Assembly
Figure 1-24 is a representation of an accessory multi-output cable that can be purchased from Vela to facilitate easy connection of the CineCast HD decoder. Depending on the cable purchased, signals appearing on the cable can include YUV, RGB and composite video, LTC time code, AES audio, analog audio, GPI in and out, and VGA monitor signals.
The input end of the cable assembly terminates in a connector that mates with the Microcross P&D connector located on the CineCast HD decoder board.
Table 1-4 and Table 1-5 contain pinout information for the available pre-fabri­cated cable assemblies. Vela part numbers are 6000-0165 (YUV and balanced audio) and 6000-0166 (RGB and balanced audio). Contact your Vela sales rep­resentative to order the cable assemblies.

Software Installation
The following sections pertain to the installation of Vela Release 2.6 system soft­ware for the CineCast HD decoder. Determine the operating system you are using (Windows 2000 or Windows NT) and follow the corresponding instructions.
Be sure to review the “readme” files on the system software CD-ROM for the very latest information on installation and performance issues.
Installing Under Windows NT
All of the software that you need to install the CineCast HD decoder on Windows NT 4.0 is located on the single CD-ROM you received with the decoder. Just follow these steps, whether you are upgrading to version 2.6 or installing it for the first time. Remember that a number of system restarts (reboots) may be required during the installation process. Do not remove the CD-ROM disc from the
drive until you've completed the last step of the installation process.
NOTE: Hardware drivers for Windows NT are automatically installed with the application.
1. Uninstall any CineCast software currently on the system. Use the Windows Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs application. For compete details on uninstalling current and previous versions of software, see “Uninstalling Cine­Cast Software” on page 36.
2. Install Windows NT Service Pack 6a or later, if it’s not already installed on your system. You can download this service pack from the Internet, or you can install it from the CineCast System Software CD-ROM, as follows:
• Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM Drive. The Autorun install setup screen will appear (Figure 1-3).
• From the Autorun screen, select the “Explore This CD” option. A screen similar to that in Figure 1-4 will appear.
• Double-click on the System folder, then double-click on the “NT Service Pack” folder.
• Double-click on the sp6i386.exe file.
• The application will extract files, then ask you to read a license agreement. After reading the agreement, check the “Accept License Agreement” checkbox as well as the “Backup Files Required to Uninstall” checkbox.
• Click Install.
• Click Next, OK, or Finished to all of the screens that follow.

• If you are asked to reboot, allow the system to restart before continuing.
3. The Autorun setup screen (Figure 1-3) should appear after the reboot. If it does not, use Windows Explorer to select and run setup.exe from the CD-ROM.
4. Install Internet Explorer version 5, Service Pack 4 or later, if it's not already installed on your system. Again, you can download this from the Internet, or you can install it from the Vela system software installation CD-ROM. To use the CD-ROM, follow these steps:
• Insert the CD-ROM disc into the CD-ROM drive.
• When the setup screen appears, select the “Explore This CD” option.
• Double-click on the “System” folder.
• Double-click on the “MSIE5 NT” folder.
• Double-click on the setup.exe icon. When a window pops up to select “Typical” or “Minimal” Installation, select “Minimal.”
• On the next screen, deselect (remove the checks from) the “Windows Media Player” and “Outlook Express” selections.
• The version of Windows Media Player included with Internet Explorer 5.0 is outdated. A more recent version is included on this CD, though the installa­tion of Windows Media Player and Outlook Express are not a requirement for the CineCast HD decoder.
• Click Next, OK, or Finished to all of the screens that follow.
• If you are asked to reboot, allow the system to restart before continuing.
5. The setup screen should appear after the reboot. If it does not, use Windows Explorer to select and run setup.exe from the CD-ROM or click Start > Run.
6. Install MDAC 2.6, if it is not already installed on your system. Again, you can download this from the Internet, or you can install it from the installation CD-ROM. To use the CD-ROM, follow these steps:
• Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
• When the setup screen appears, select the “Explore This CD” option.
• Double-click on the “System” folder.
• Double-click on the “MDAC 2.6" folder.
• Double-click on the mdac_typ.exe.
• The application will extract files, then ask you to read a license agreement.
