Analog Composite I/O Installation
Introduction
Use these instructions to install the Analog Composite I/O (Input/Output) board
into a Profile PDR100 Video Disk Recorder or PDR200 Video File Server. The
Analog Composite I/O board accepts two composite analog video inputs, and
provides two composite analog video outputs. The board is also equipped with an
S-Video connector, which allows video input to the Profile system directly from a
source such as a video cassette recorder. The board provides time base correction
for any one input.
The instructions include procedures for opening the Profile chassis, removing
existing boards, if necessary, to make room for the new board, installing the new
board, closing the Profile chassis, and verifying that the board is correctly
installed. There is also a board location guide that you can use to select a slot in the
Profile chassis in which to install the board and audio clock cabling information.
You can install the board with the Profile chassis fully extended on the rack slides
if the equipment rack is adequately mounted to prevent tipping, and if there is
sufficient slack in the cables connected to the rear panel to allow the chassis to fully
extend on the slides.
If it is necessary for you to remove the Profile chassis from the equipment rack to
perform this installation, refer to the Installation Manual for instructions.
WARNING: Unless the equipment rack is adequately anchored, the rack
could tip when the chassis is extended on the rack slides. To avoid possible
injury, make sure the rack is firmly anchored before extending the chassis on
the rack slides.
