Branding Engine Hard Drive(s) Installation
Branding Engine storage is provided by one or more hard disk drives. As
illustrated in
Figure 21 , up to four 2.5 inch (6.35 cm) drives can be mounted
on each Maestro channel processor board.
Figure 21. Branding Engine Disk Drives Installed
There are two separate PCI busses, each of which can support one (1) or
two (2) hard disk drives. The first PCI bus supports storage and playback
of still images, audio and CG text. The second PCI bus supports storage for
animation sequences and motion video.
Version 1.6 of Maestro supports Branding Engine stills and audio files only;
therefore, only the first PCI bus is utilized. When installing disk drives for
the basic Branding Engine, the first drive must be installed in the lower left
position labelled “Drive: ata0.” If a second drive is installed to support the
basic Branding Engine, it should be installed in the upper left position
labelled ‘Drive: ata1.”
Figure 22 shows the hardware used in mounting the Branding Engine disk
drive in the drive cage.
Note If the hard disk drive was received from Grass Valley, the drive sled will
already be mounted on the drive. In this case, proceed directly to
