About channels and factory default configuration
Profile applications use channels to control disk recording and playback. A channel
defines a grouping of Profile XP video, audio, and timecode resources and is
identified by a unique name. Profile XP software supports three channel types:
Recorder channel, Player channel, or Player/Recorder channel. For more information
on channel types and creating or modifying channels, refer the Profile XP System
Guide.
Your Profile XP Media Platform is shipped with default Recorder and Player
channels. These default channels are named Vtr1, Vtr2, Vtr3 and so on. The following
table describes the video and audio connections you’ll make for the two channel
types. On the pages that follow, you’ll find specifics about the type and number of
default channels in your system, and their video and audio I/O connections.

This procedure assumes you have already rack-mounted the PVS3000 or PVS3500,
