Grass Valley DVCPRO Board Upgrade - Manual (Page 13)

Installation Summary
DVCPRO Upgrade Installation 13
Master and Slave EDR Memory Requirements
The DVCPRO upgrade requires 64-megabytes of memory on both the Master and
the Slave Enhanced Disk Recorder (EDR) Boards. If you ordered your PDR200
recently, the Master and Slave EDR boards already have 64 megabytes of
memory. If you have an earlier model (serial number B029999 or below), you
must install additional memory if you have not done so already. To see the amount
of memory you have on the Master and Slave EDR boards, check in the Profile
Log for messages regarding memory size. To view the Profile Log, double click
the Profile Log shortcut on the Windows NT 4.0 desktop. If your Profile system
has been running for a long time, the text regarding memory size may have
scrolled out of the Profile Log. In this case, you can reboot the Profile system and
check the Profile Log again.
If your system does not have the required memory, you will need two service
kits— one kit for the Master and one for the Slave—each with two 32-megabyte
SIMMs.
If you normally operate with a large video file system (greater than 2500 clips as
might be the case in commercial cache applications) Grass Valley Group
recommends that you have 32 megabytes of local memory installed for the i960
real-time system (RTS) processor on the Master EDR board to enhance system
performance. If you ordered your PDR200 recently, you already have
32 megabytes of i960 local memory installed. If you have an earlier model (serial
number B039999 or below), you should install additional memory if you have not
done so already. Check the Profile Log for messages regarding RTS memory size.
If your system does not have 32-megabytes of real time system (RTS) processor
memory, you will need one kit for this upgrade, containing one 32-megabyte
SIMM, replacing the existing 16-megabyte SIMM.
NOTE: You should have obtained service kits for these memory upgrades at
the same time you received the DVCPRO upgrade kit. If you need to install
these memory upgrades, do so before installing the DVCPRO boards. Refer
to the procedures in the memory kits for specific instructions. If for some
reason you have not obtained the kits, contact your Grass Valley Group
representative.
