What to Read First
The order in which you should read the chapters of this manual depends on how
you want to set up your Profile system.
• Before using your Profile unit, you must first configure your video and audio
boards. Refer to Chapter 2, “Using the Profile Configuration Manager.”
• If you are upgrading a PDR100 to version 2.5 of Profile system software
from version 1.4.XX or earlier, you must install enhanced disk recorder
(EDR) boards and you must rebuild your file system. To install the EDR
boards, you must install a field kit that is sold separately. To rebuild your file
system, refer to Chapter 5, “Using the Profile Disk Utility.” Your file system
may consist of internal disks, a disk expansion unit, or a RAID unit.
• Once you have configured your video and audio boards, and, if necessary
rebuilt your file system, you are ready to capture and replay video and audio
clips. Refer to Chapter 4, “Using VdrPanel.”
• To configure your Fibre Channel board, see Chapter 7, “Fibre Channel
Video Networking.”
• To read Profile logs, access your Profile system from a remote PC, or attach
a PRC100 Profile Control Panel, refer to Chapter 6, “Using Profile Utilities.”
• To learn how to manage media on disk or over Fibre Channel on a Profile
network, see Chapter 3, “Using Media Manager.”
• If want to use optional software applications, see Chapter 8, “Using the Tool
Box Editor,” Chapter 9, “Using the List Manager,” or Chapter 11, “Using
TimeDelay.” To allocate resources for Tool Box Editor, List Manager, and
TimeDelay, see Chapter 10, “Using the Resource Manager.”
