VTR Interface
Introduction
The Kalypso system can be interfaced to control VTRs, using the Encore
control system.
Encore VTR Interface Components
The VTR interface components consist of:
• Serial Control Engine hardware running the Acorn OS, and capable of
controlling up to six VTRs,
• VSVC application software (provided on two specially formatted
floppy disks, used for installation on the Serial Control Engine),
• a Sharer/System Manager application, responsible for overseeing the
entire Encore network and to configure users and their access to the
network (provided on the Kalypso Software CD),
• a Port Mapper application (Base Install), used to manage system net-
working ports (provided on the Kalypso Software CD), and,
• an Encore OUI (Operator User Interface) application, (provided on the
Kalypso Software CD).
A Sharer and System Manager must be installed somewhere in your
facility to use Kalypso system machine control. However, only one
instance should be running on the network.
Required Materials
You will need the following additional materials and signals to install the
VTR interface:
• Black Burst with house VITC
• Category 5 Ethernet cable
• RS-422 Serial cable (9-pin for ports 1-4)
