Product Description
The PDX208 expands the capacity of a Profile to store program material. It adds
72GB media storage to your Profile. The amount of disk expansion for program
material storage depends on how your PRX208 is connected to your Profile, and how
it is configured through the Disk Utility on the Profile.
Each PDX208 contains eight 9GB hard disk drives. This provides two banks of four
drives (36GB each) to support a Profile with two Enhanced Disk Recorder boards
(Master and Slave). The PDX208 may be configured to provide one bank of eight
drives (72GB) to support a Profile with only the Master Enhanced Disk Recorder
board. Application software in the Profile provides control of the PDX208 usage.
