Grass Valley Aurora Edit LD v.6.0a Installation - Manual (Page 29)

Synchronization Requirements
Aurora Edit Installation and Configuration Guide 29
Synchronization Requirements
You must have a stable video reference source to synchronize the system if you
are playing directly to air. The system needs no reference if the output is not
required to be genlocked.
Environmental Requirements
This table lists the specifications for a standard broadcast environment.
Networking Requirements
Your system is designed to work over industry-standard local area networks
(LANs) and wide area networks (WANs) using standard TCP/IP networking
protocols. Install all possible network cabling before the equipment arrives and
make note of the network IP addresses that reside within the network.
Fibre Channel
The Aurora Edit system transfers files to the playback server through a Fibre
Channel switch connection. Typically, fibre-optic cable is run along or inside
facilities ductwork using 62.5-micron termination connectors, SC type for the
Emulex Fibre Channel card and LC type for the Q-Logic Fibre Channel card.
Contact Thomson Grass Valley for sources for custom or off-the-shelf length
cables.
Ethernet Switch
The Ethernet switch routes data between all Aurora Edit systems, the playout
server, and newsroom systems. A 100-BaseT Ethernet switch is required to
connect network devices within Aurora Edit production workgroups. A Gigabit
Ethernet switch is available and used for the Network Attached Storage
product. Status LEDs on the hub show network activity.
