CONNECTION TO SERIAL AND ESBUS VTRS
VTRs are connected to the LAN through a VM/SI 3000 system controller board. The protocol for these ports must be set in
pairs. (The protocol is set at the file server, as described later in this manual.) In the example shown in Figure 2−106, ports
1 through 4 are configured for Sony serial machines, ports 7 and 8 for Ampex serial VTRs, and 9 and 10 for ESbus devices
(such as Philips DCR Series VTRs). Notice that because the port protocol is set in pairs port 4 must be reserved for use with
a Sony serial VTR.
