Site Requirements
This section details site requirements for your Aurora Edit system.
Power Requirements
It is highly recommended that you use a surge protector and an uninterruptible
power supply (UPS) with your system. There must be a 20 A, 110 to 120 V
alternating current, 60 Hz or 10 A, 220 to 224 V alternating current, 50 Hz
circuit breaker and an isolated ground.
Storage upgrades may require additional electrical service. Consider the
equipment nameplate ratings and consult your Thomson Grass Valley
representative.
The Aurora Edit system is designed to work with a single-phase (three-wire)
power cord with a grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, always plug the cord into a powered off grounded power outlet.
For best performance, keep all system power connections on the same power
feed distribution panel. Do not connect any other equipment to the same outlet
that is powering the Aurora Edit equipment.
This table lists the power requirements for the system components.
