An internal Pentium system processor board, which operates on an EISA bus
structure, controls the PDR200. The Pentium processor uses the Windows NT
operating system. The system processor has its own dedicated hard disk, which stores
the Windows NT operating system and the required PDR200 operating and
applications software. In addition, a floppy-disk drive, or an optional parallel port
CD-ROM, provides for installation or repair of software.
User Interface consists of a keyboard and mouse, and an RS-422 interface. Two
additional RS-232 interfaces, which are full communications ports, are supplied for
service and diagnostic purposes. A VGA monitor output, to drive a SVGA monitor,
provides a Graphic User Interface (GUI).
Media I/O circuitry converts video signals for recording to CCIR-601-2 parallel 8-bit
digital format before the video is routed to media disks for storage. The parallel
format video is routed through a 32 by 32, 8-bit video routing switch.
