of an Avid® DS system. You can use your system to create broadcast-quality output incorporating every possible production element from full-speed, high-resolution footage, multimedia artwork and animation, to computer-generated effects and titling. This guide is intended for system administrators who are involved in setting up the hardware required for the successful operation of the Avid DS system. The material in this document applies to the Windows® operating system. n The documentation describes the features and hardware of all models. Therefore, your system might not contain certain features and hardware that are covered in the documentation.

For example, File > Import means to open the File menu and then select the Import command. This symbol indicates a single-step procedure. Multiple arrows in a list indicate that you perform one of the actions listed. Bold font Bold font is primarily used in task instructions to identify user interface items and keyboard sequences. Italic font Italic font is used to emphasize certain words and to indicate variables. If You Need Help If you are having trouble using Avid DS: 1. Retry the action, carefully following the instructions given for that task in this guide. It is especially important to check each step of your workflow. 2. Check the latest information that might have become available after the documentation was published: - If release notes are available, they ship with the application. - If ReadMe files are available, they are supplied on your Avid DS Software and Drivers DVD, the Avid DS application folder, or online.

Avid DS accepts video and audio in different formats and resolutions, and changes these formats and resolutions to Avid-specific data for transfer to the Avid editing system over a Digital Interlink cable. The data transfer uses an Avid-specific protocol that describes the format and resolution of the media being captured. You can then edit the media on the Avid editing system and send it back to Avid DS. You can change the format and resolution as needed for video and audio output. The Avid DS system consists of: • HP xw8600 (dual-link HD SDI card pre-installed) • The I/O breakout box • 2 cables (Xena 2K D Connector and multi-BNC) 13 4 Avid DS System Setup Site Planning When preparing your site, you must consider the environmental, electrical, and space requirements for your Avid DS system, as well as any additional equipment. Before setting up your system, see the ReadMe provided to make sure that there are no changes to the information in this document. The required expansion boards are installed and configured for the Avid DS system. Do not remove or modify these boards. For instructions on setting up the computer hardware, see the setup documentation provided with the HP xw8600. For a rackmount workstation, you must install the computer into a standard rack before connecting the hardware.

Avid recommends that you mount the I/O breakout box in a rack before you connect any cables. n If you need to rack mount the HP workstation, a rack-mount kit is available from HP together with the installation instructions. The HP workstation requires 5 rack units. Equipment Environmental and Safety Guidelines When you install the I/O breakout box on a rack, take the following precautions: 16 • Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: When it is installed in a closed or multiunit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than the room ambient temperature. Therefore, consider installing the equipment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum ambient temperature of 104•F (40•C). • Reduced Airflow: Do not compromise the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment. • Mechanical Loading: Avoid a hazardous condition due to an uneven mechanical loading. • Circuit Overloading: Consider connecting the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Use appropriate equipment nameplate ratings. • Reliable Earthing: Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mount equipment. Give particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit, such as the use of power strips). Rack Mounting the I/O Breakout Box Securing the I/O Breakout Box in a Rack The I/O breakout box is secured in the front mounting rails of the rack with four rackmount screws. If your rack has threaded holes, use the proper rack screws for your rack. If your rack does not have threaded holes, attach the rack-nut clips included with the I/O breakout box as previously described. To secure the I/O breakout box into the rack. 1. From the front of the rack, position the I/O breakout box so that it is flush against the front mounting rails. Front mounting rail Screws 2. Align the holes in the I/O breakout box with the holes in the front mounting rail. From the front of the rack enclosure, insert the screws through the I/O breakout box and front mounting rail, and tighten. 17 4 Avid DS System Setup I/O Breakout Box Overview The I/O breakout box provides a simplified method for connection with only two cables. It includes BNC connectors: AES/EBU Audio In Channels 1 through 8 AES/EBU Audio Out Channels 1 through 8 AES/EBU Audio In Channels 1 through 8 AES/EBU Audio Out Channels 1 through 8 Serial Digital In Serial External Digital Reference Out (loop) R5422 Machine Control Component Composite Video Output Analog Audio Output All AES/EBU audio connectors have two channels per connector Connecting the I/O Breakout Box to the Dual-Link HD SDI Card Standard with every Avid DS is the new dual-link HD SDI card, which provides the necessary dual-link HD SDI input and output channels for HD-RGB sources like HDCAM SR delivering a complete solution for capture, conform, finishing and mastering for HD-RGB workflows. n Existing customers may purchase the dual-link HD-SDI card. You will need the mini-BNC cable that connects the HP xw8600 workstation to the rear of the I/O breakout box. You will also need a 25-pin interconnect cable as shown in the diagram. 18 I/O Breakout Box Overview Dual-link HD SDI card (Slot 4 on the HP-xw8600) Mini-BNC cable HD interconnect cable I/O breakout box (rear view) CONNECT TO HOST SDI In 1/A In 2/B Out 1/A Out 2/B Connect the mini-BNC cable to the corresponding in and out on the I/O breakout box and the HD SDI dual-link card. For example, use the mini-BNC cable to connect to the SDI In 1/A on the I/O breakout box to In 1/A on the dual-link card (rear of the HP xw8600). Note that 1/A connectors carry the HD SDI signal, while 2/B connectors carry the SD SDI. When working with RGB 4:4:4 sequences, both connectors carry the HD-SDI signal, hence the label dual-link. The following is a description of what each connector is used for: • SDI In 1/A and SDI In 2/B are used for capture. • SDI Out In 1/A and SDI Out 2/B are used for either monitoring or output to tape. 19 4 Avid DS System Setup HP xw8600 Workstation Overview The HP xw8600 workstation is the platform currently shipping with the Avid DS system.

Connecting the Keyboard, Mouse, and Graphics Tablet The keyboard and mouse come with attached cables for connecting them to the back panel of your workstation. The Wacom graphic tablet comes with a USB cable. The following diagram shows the keyboard and mouse. Avid does not recommend using extension cables more than 6-feet (1.83-meters) for your keyboard and mouse. Keyboard Mouse 21 4 Avid DS System Setup To connect the keyboard and mouse: 1. In the base unit, connect the keyboard to the top-left or bottom mini-DIN port. 2. Connect the mouse to the top-right or top mini-DIN port in the base unit. n On a rackmount workstation, the keyboard port is on the bottom when viewing the back of the workstation base unit and the mouse is to the top. To connect the Wacom tablet: t Connect the USB cable from the Wacom tablet to one of the USB ports on the back panel of the base unit (the tablet receives power through the USB port). If needed, the Wacom tablet can also plug into one of the front USB ports on the workstation. Connecting the Monitors Your workstation comes with one 30-inch monitor, which connects to the NVIDIA graphics card. The NVIDIA graphics card is located in the PCI Express slot 2 as shown here. Connector for monitor n On a rackmount workstation, the graphic cards are to the left when viewing the back of the workstation base unit. Each monitor comes with a video cable and a power cord. Depending upon the monitor, you might receive a VGA-to-DVI adapter. Avid recommends that you use the DVI connectors on the monitor if available. For more information regarding the graphic cards and monitors, see the documentation provided by the manufacturer. 22 Connecting the SCSI Local Storage Systems The driver for the graphic card should be installed on your system, but it is also located on the Avid DS Software and Drivers DVD. Unique video property settings and system BIOS are used. For more information consult, your Avid representative. To connect the monitors: 1. Verify that the power is turned off on the monitor and the base unit, and then connect these devices to a power source. 2. Attach one end of the cable to the monitor. 3. Attach the other end of the cable to the appropriate DVI connector. Use an adapter if needed. Connecting the SCSI Local Storage Systems Avid DS editing systems support the Avid MediaDock Ultra320 and Avid VideoRAID as a local SCSI storage system. Local storage connects to the two SCSI channels at the rear of the workstation and must be striped to provide the needed throughput. n Avid typically supports newer drives as they become available. For the latest list of supported drives, see your Avid sales representative. The connections at the rear of the workstation are HD 68-pin connectors. If you are going to use SCSI devices for standalone storage, you must order the cables separately. Also note that the xw8600 does not have onboard SCSI controllers. Instead, it uses an Atto UL4D or UL5D SCSI card with dual-SCSI connectors. The maximum length of the external SCSI cables must not exceed 16-feet (5 meters). If connecting two MediaDock Ultra320 enclosures (one enclosure on each SCSI channel) you can use a 16-foot (5 meter) SCSI cable on each SCSI channel. Avid MediaDock Ultra320 For installation procedures and instructions on switching between single-bus and dual-bus modes, see the documentation that ships with the Avid MediaDock Ultra320. Formatting and Striping Media Drives The procedures for formatting and striping media drives depend on the type of storage you are using. To format and stripe media drives, see your respective storage guide. 23 4 Avid DS System Setup Connecting to Avid Unity Shared Storage Avid Unity media networks are shared storage and networking solutions for sharing media between multiple workstations. Depending on which Avid Unity environment you have, a specific media network board is installed in PCI slot 5 or 7 of your Avid DS HP xw8600 workstation. Avid Unity MediaNetwork supports two card options. The PCI Express option in slot 6 uses the ATTO Celerity FC-41ES card. The PCI-X option in slot 7 uses the ATTO Celerity FC-41XS card. The Avid Unity MediaNetwork also supports the optional ATTO 3300 Fibre Channel board. This is only supported for 32-bit applications, therefore it cannot be used for the Avid DS 64-bit version. Avid Unity Media Network Board Slot Location 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Ethernet connection for Avid Unity ISIS Fibre channel connection for Avid Unity MediaNetwork Setup and installation instructions for the Avid Unity components ship with the Avid Unity hardware. For information on installing the Avid Unity network board driver, see the Avid Unity documentation. For Information on installing and configuring the Avid SAS Storage, also known as the Avid VideoRAID SR, see The Avid VideoRAID documentation. 24 Connecting the Video Deck Connecting the Video Deck There are several possible cabling configurations depending on your camera, video deck, and client monitor. The audio and video output signals are available to each output connector at the same time. Industry-standard video cables are not included with the Avid DS. The following sections describe several possible connections: You can control this equipment remotely with the serial connection on the workstation, see “Connecting the Video Deck” on page 25. Connecting Video You can connect HD VTRs and video monitors to your workstation using the Serial Digital (SD) In and Serial Digital Out connectors as shown here. Serial Digital In Serial Digital Out • SDI In 1/A and SDI In 2/B are used for capture. • SDI Out In 1/A and SDI Out 2/B are used for either monitoring or output to tape. 25 4 Avid DS System Setup Connecting Audio There are 8 XLR connectors, used to carry the audio signal, in AES3 (AES/EBU) format, in and out of Avid DS. Alternatively, you can use the BNC connectors as shown here. The selection you make depends on the type of deck you are using. AES/EBU Audio In Channels 1 through 8 AES/EBU Audio Out Channels 1 through 8 AES/EBU Audio In Channels 1 through 8 AES/EBU Audio Out Channels 1 through 8 Connecting to the External Monitor You can connect to an external monitor or hardware that outputs the video to a projector. Component Composite Video Output These are the three connectors: • Pr\R\C Out • Y\G\CBVS Out • Pb\B\Y Out Avid DS currently supports 2 component signal formats for monitoring: YPbPr and RGB. A composite monitoring is also available from the BNC labeled CBVS. 26 Connecting the Video Deck Reference Signal Whenever you use more than one video or audio device in your video editing environment, you must have a separate synchronization signal connected to each device. A sync generator or reference signal provides a composite signal that locks all the devices (video and audio) to the main video signal. If the devices are not in sync for example, a monitor might show rolling, tearing, or incorrect colors in the picture whenever you send video between devices. n c To make sure the configuration you are using is properly synced, read the documentation that ships with each of your video devices. Avid applications require that the VTR and the Avid DS hardware be genlocked to the same timing source when capturing or outputting a digital cut. Sync Topology When you sync analog and digital video/audio devices, it is always preferable to feed every component with a separate black-burst or tri-level sync signal in a star pattern. Avoid looping the reference signal by terminating any unused loop out with a 75 ohm terminator. The following illustrates a typical sync topology: Master reference signal NTSC/PAL black-burst generator Tri-level sync generator Video Distr. Amp Video Distr. Amp To analog Reference In To SD Sync To HD Tri-level Sync To HD Reference In HD VTR SD VTR Avid DS 27 4 Avid DS System Setup You also need to verify the following to make sure your topology is correct: • Distance between distribution Amplifier (DA): If your DA feeds multiple devices that are far apart, the stability and strength of the signal it sends is crucial. • Quality of the devices: A good DA in a star pattern topology is necessary to ensure that every device is properly referenced. A tri-level sync signal could be distributed by an analog video distribution amplifier. • Analog video routing switchers: The Avid DS has separate inputs for the SD and HD sync. Consider using an analog routing switcher to select between the various tri-level sync signals. Tri-level Sync and Black Burst Sync Tri-level sync is typically used to synchronize your HD video devices. Tri-level sync could be considered functionally the same as black-burst video in that it is simply the reference synchronizing information from the facility’s master generator. You must use a synchronization signal to synchronize your VTR and the DS video subsystem for all the HD formats supported by Avid DS. When using SD video, a black burst or reference signal must be connected. Using the Reference Signal The last BNC connector on the I/O breakout box is used to provide reference signal to the video card. External Reference (loop) It can be fed either by the black burst signal or tri-level synchronization signal. Note that if the card does not receive a valid reference signal, for example, a 50Hz black burst when working in a 1080i 50 sequence, it will set itself in free-run mode. This mode is also known as internal synchronization. A valid external synchronization signal must be provided for any accurate output to tape and playback operation. Audio drift or the loss of audio/video synchronization, may be experience if the synchronization signal is not valid. During capture, the hardware will synchronize itself to the incoming video signal. 28 Connecting the Video Deck Like most video equipment, the I/O breakout box can synchronize properly with a black burst signal when working in the following sequence formats: • 1080i 50 and 59.94 field per second in either color space • 1080p 25 and 29.97 frames per second in either color space. Other HD formats require a tri-level synchronization signal. Connecting to the Deck Control Avid DS does not use the RS-422 Machine Control connector on the I/O breakout box. You can control a single deck by using an RS-232 to RS-422 serial adapter. The adapter converts an RS-232 signal to an RS-422 signal to control a VTR from the Avid DS HP xw8600 workstation. An optional RS-232 to RS-422 serial adapter kit is available through Avid. The adapters include two diagnostic LEDs (power and data). The power LED glows steadily when the adapter is receiving adequate power through the serial port. The data LED flashes whenever data is being transmitted or received. This helps you confirm that the serial port is active. The optional serial adapter kit that contains the following: • An RS-232 to RS-422 serial adapter • Two serial cables with 9-pin male connectors at both ends To connect a single deck to your system: 1. Locate the serial adapter kit. 2. Attach one end of a 9-pin cable to the end of the serial adapter labeled RS-232. 3. Attach the other end of the 9-pin cable to the serial port on the HP xw8600 or to the serial connector of the USB-to-serial adapter. RS-422 connection To video deck Serial Adapter RS-232 connection To Avid DS HP-xw8600 system 4. Attach one end of another 9-pin cable to the end of the serial adapter labeled RS-422. 5. Attach the other end of the 9-pin cable to the remote serial port of the video deck. n Place the deck in Remote mode before attempting to control the deck using the software. See the documentation provided with your deck. 29 4 Avid DS System Setup Connecting Serial and MIDI Port Devices Avid systems support the connection of two different MIDI fader controllers and a JL Cooper Media Control Station3 (MCS3) jog/shuttle wheel. The fader controllers and the mixer connect to the MIDISPORT™ 2x2 USB-to-MIDI converter attached to the USB ports. The two fader controllers are the JL Cooper FaderMaster Pro™ and the JL Cooper MCS-3800X. Avid supports recording automation gain using the MIDI features of the mixer. USB and Serial Connections Windows systems typically have 2 or more USB connections and one serial connection. If you need more than one serial connection, Avid recommends using a USB-to-serial adapter. See the documentation that comes with the device. Connecting the USB-to-MIDI Converter When using a JL Cooper controller, you must install a USB-to-MIDI converter; use the EDIROL UM-1.
