Back Panel Overview Rear SCSI Connectors SCSI channels at the rear of the system, A and B, replace the Adaptec™ 39160 SCSI board used in previous Avid DS systems. These channels allow you to use the HD version of Avid DS Nitris with Avid MediaDock LVD Avid MediaDock Ultra series, or other Avid DS supported SCSI storage devices. n As drive size and drive speed improve, some Fibre Channel devices and LVD shuttles will be available for use, while some might be discontinued.
Chapter 2 Avid DS Hardware Overview Disk Subsystem In a standard configuration, one Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) disk drive is installed in the base unit, and eight SCSI disk drives are installed in the Avid MediaDock LVD or 12 SCSI disk drives in a MediaDock Ultra320. The system disk drive is formatted with two partitions for storing operating system files, project files, and audio files. The Avid MediaDock LVD drives are formatted as a striped volume for video file storage.
System Inputs and Outputs System Inputs and Outputs The following table describes the system inputs and outputs. For instructions on connecting peripherals and various video equipment to your workstation, see Chapter 3.
Chapter 2 Avid DS Hardware Overview Audio Peripherals The Avid DS Nitris workstation supports up to eight input and output channels of audio data. Most VTRs and audio for various video devices use balanced analog or other non-digital audio formats. For these formats, you must purchase an external A/D - D/A converter or a digital format converter. These converters have a wide range of performance characteristics, and vary by the type of formats supported and the number of I/O channels.
House Sync Playback Mode Playback mode lets you use Avid DS Nitris to record video on the VTR. • The video stored on the video storage array goes through the Nitris Codec board, the Nitris Base board, the Avid Nitris DNA, and then goes to the VTR and video monitor. • The video output of the Avid Nitris Base board goes to the graphics board and then to the workstation monitors, where it displays as video-ina-window. It is also sent back to the Avid Nitris DNA for a Client monitor.
Chapter 2 Avid DS Hardware Overview Tri-level Sync In the case of HD video devices, you need a tri-level sync. Tri-level sync could be considered synonymous to black-burst video in that it is simply the reference synchronizing information from the facility’s master generator. Each HD format needs a specific tri-level sync. You must use the proper trilevel sync to synchronize your VTR and the Nitris DNA video subsystem for all the HD formats supported by Avid DS.
House Sync 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. A typical star pattern sync topology Master house sync generator NTSC/PAL black-burst generator Tri-level sync generator Video Distr. Amp To analog Reference In To SD Sync SD VTR Video Distr.
