INSTALLATION
Rear Module BNC Configuration
There are three configurable rear BNC connectors that can be set using onboard switches
on the rear of the 8500 circuit board for the choices outlined below. AES outputs will
depend on the type of submodule installed. Refer to the illustration on the next page.
•
Cpst/SDI Out BNC Configuration – The BNC labeled CPST/SDI can be set
with Switch S1 on the rear of the 8500 circuit board for either CPST (up) for a
composite output or to SDI (down) for an SDI output.The default setting for this
switch is CPST when shipped from the factory.
•
AES 1/2 Out /SDI Out BNC (8410 and 8510 submodule) or AES 5/6/SDI (8415
submodule) Configuration – Switch S4 on the rear of the 8500 circuit board
allows the BNC labeled AES 1/2 Out/SDI or AES 5/6/SDI BNC to output either
AES audio or the processed SDI signal of the module (identical to the other SDI
outputs). Set the toggle switch to AES to configure the BNC for AES out or set to
SDI for the SDI output. The default setting for this switch is AES.
•
AES 3/4 Out /SDI Out BNC (8410 and 8510 submodule) or AES 7/8/SDI (8415
submodule) Configuration – Switch S5 on the rear of the 8500 circuit board
allows the BNC labeled AES 3/4 Out/SDI or AES 7/8/SDI BNC to output either
AES audio or the processed SDI signal of the module (identical to the other SDI
outputs). Set the toggle switch to AES to configure the BNC for AES out or set to
SDI for the SDI output. The default setting for this switch is AES.
8410, 8415, or 8510 Audio and 8520 DNR Submodule Installation
The optional 8500 Series submodules install on the component side of the 8500 Video
Processing module circuit board. If the options are ordered with the 8500 module, they
will come already installed.
To install the 8410, 8415, or 8510 audio submodule, locate the three connectors on the left
side of the circuit board as shown on the next page and line the connectors up, checking
the alignment. Press carefully into place to seat the submodule.
To install the 8520 DNR submodule, locate the UP arrows on the circuit board and the
submodule. Line up the submodule with the two connectors, matching the UP arrows and
press carefully to seat the submodule.
8500 Video Processing Module
Plug the 8500 module into any one of the slots in the 1 RU or 3 RU frame and install the
plastic overlay provided onto the corresponding group of rear BNC connectors associated
with the module location.There are two different plastic overlays provided with this
module. If you are using the 8415 submodule, use the plastic overlay labeled
8500VAP + 8415 8-Channel.
Note that the plastic overlay has an optional adhesive backing for securing it to the
frame. Use of the adhesive backing is only necessary if you would like the location to be
permanent and is not recommended if you need to change module locations. This module
may be hot-swapped (inserted or removed) without powering down or disturbing perfor-
mance of the other modules in the system.
