Before You Begin
NOTE: Profile System Software version 3.2 or higher must be installed before
you install any DVCPRO boards. For more information, see “Upgrading
Profile System Software” on page 12.
This installation manual explains how to install the DVCPRO boards in the
PDR 200 Video File Server. Included are procedures for installing the DVCPRO
boards in both a DVCPRO-ready (Option DV) PDR200 and a
non-DVCPRO-ready PDR 200.
There are two DVCPRO upgrade kits for the PDR200 as shown in Table 1.
The PDFDV04 upgrade kit includes one DVCPRO CODEC board which features
four DVCPRO 25 codecs. Each codec can be used for DVCPRO 25 record and
playback. Each pair of DVCPRO 25 codecs can be used as a single DVCPRO 50
codec for DVCPRO 50 record and playback.
The PDFDV02 upgrade kit includes one DVCPRO CODEC board which features
two DVCPRO 25 Codecs. Each codec can be used for DVCPRO 25 record and
playback. The pair of DVCPRO 25 codecs can be used as a single DVCPRO 50
codec for DVCPRO 50 record and playback.
To install an additional two-codec DVCPRO CODEC board in a PDR 400, you
can use the instructions for installing boards in a DVCPRO-ready system . The
PDFDV02 two-codec board must be installed in slot J12.
NOTE: Grass Valley Group supports a total of six DVCPRO 25 codecs in the
Profile system. Grass Valley Group does not support the DVCPRO Boards in
systems with MPEG boards installed.
