MPEG Board Upgrade Installation
2 MPEG Board Upgrade Installation
Depending on the field kits you have ordered and how you plan to configure your
system, you most probably will be adding other boards, such as serial digital I/O
boards or an Audio Signal Processing Board (ASPB). For example, if you install
two decoder boards, you will need four serial digital I/O boards to output eight
video channels. In such a case, it is also likely that you will install an additional
ASPB for a total of 32 channels of embedded audio. There is no reason not to
install all the field kits while the Profile chassis is open.
When this manual refers to slot numbers, such as J8 and J12, refer to the label on
the back of the Profile unit to find where the physical slots are (see to Figure 10
on page 29).
System Software Requirements
The Profile system software installed in the Profile system must be version 2.4 or
higher to support MPEG boards. This software should have been ordered and
received along with this MPEG field kit. To check the software version installed
in your Profile system, open the VrdPanel application and choose
Help | About
VdrPanel . The software version is listed in the displayed window. If you do not
have version 2.4 or higher software, contact your Grass Valley Group
representative.
NOTE: After you install 2.4 or higher software, you must update the firmware
of some Profile circuit boards with an in-system programming (ISP)
procedure described in the appropriate software release notes and in the
Profile utilities chapter of the Profile Family User Manual.
