MPEG Board Upgrade Installation

Using Configuration Manager to Verify Boards

You can use the Configuration Manager to verify the presence of MPEG encoder
and decoder boards. Look at the bottom of the Configuration Manager window to
ensure that the abbreviation MPEG appears in the slots where they were installed
(J8 and J12). Both encoder and decoder boards appear at the bottom of the
window. See Figure 11 for an example.

Also, you should be able to see the decoder MPEG host boards listed in the
configuration tree. Encoder boards do not appear in the configuration tree since
there is no need to configure them with software.

If you have MPEG decoder boards installed in your Profile, you need to obtain a
timing signal from a video I/O board to synchronize your output. See the
instructions on setting MPEG input timing in the chapter on Configuration
Manager in the Profile Family User Manual.

To check for recognition of added MPEG boards in a PDR 200:

1. From the Windows NT 4.0 desktop, open the Configuration Manager

window by choosing

Start | Programs | PDR Applications | Configuration

Manager

.

2. Check the configuration tree and the bottom of the window for the presence

of MPEG boards.

3. Choose

File | Exit

.
