This section provides information about inspecting, installing, and configuring the VTM-2000. Inspecting the Shipment Before installing the VTM-2000, inspect the box and the contents. Report any damage to the shipper and telephone the Harris Corporation Customer Service Department for service and support (see Section 1, “Service Support”).
Hardware knut 10-32 Attach the rack extension brackets to the back of the rack. Once the extension brackets are in place, guides on the VTM-2000 unit enable it to slide in and out of rack extension brackets for easy access and removal.
15-pin, high-density, female, D-sub connector for LTC, and GPI input.* *See Appendix B, “Pinouts,” for the connections. Ethernet Setup 1. Prior to the VTM-2000 Network configuration, obtain Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) addresses from the System Administrator or from the Internet Service Provider (ISP). These addresses are: −...
2. Identify a host PC to configure and test the VTM-2000. 3a. For a dedicated PC connection, connect the host PC with a network card to the “VFLASH” connector on the back panel of the VTM-2000, using a CAT5 crossover cable (not included). See Figure 2-3.
Installation Figure 2-4. VTM-2000 Network PC Connection 4. Ethernet Configuration a) Press the SETUP/ENTER button on the VTM front panel. b) Press the UP or DOWN button to highlight the COMMUNICATIONS menu, and then press the SETUP/ENTER button to enter the submenu.
VTM-2000 units must have unique unit IDs. The unit ID is the identification number of the VTM-2000 units, and can be set to any number within a range of 1 to 99 in the COMMUNICATIONS menu. The unit IDs should be different than the identification numbers of other units in the same system configuration.
Full: Full-screen display of the selected pane (non quad). Introduction to Operating the VTM-2000 The VTM-2000, shown in Figure 3-1 and described in Table 3-1, can display four panes on the screen, in standard quad mode each of which provides a fixed display of waveform (lower-right), vector (lower-left), audio and alarm status (upper-left), and picture (upper-right).
Latest alarm displayed (yellow indicates the current alarm, blue indicates the alarm was resolved) Types of Controls The VTM-2000 is controlled in three ways: Display Modifiers: controls on the front panel that adjust the parameters that are frequently used. Pane Menu Settings: Pop-up menus within a pane that are used to control the parameters for the individual pane.
Press and hold the EXIT and SETUP/ENTER buttons simultaneously until the four Preset LEDs are illuminated. The power is removed from the system except for the front panel. Push any button to repower the VTM-2000. Navigating the Pane Setup Menu NOTE: A function button can be pressed to exit from the pane menu.
EXTERNAL Pane Overview There are two screens for the VTM-2000: full-screen display or Quad (4 display panes). Even if the screen is full screen or quad, the pane contains the Main Title Bar, the display, and the status bar. A diagram of the quad display is shown in Figure 3-4.
ZOOM is pressed. Figure 3-7 to Figure 3-9 illustrates some waveform graticules with the critical amplitude limits for the video formats that can be displayed by the VTM-2000. The critical amplitude limits are indicated on the screen by dashed lines.
General Operation Gain Button The standard gain in the vector is x1.0. The VTM-2000 can be used to set the gain amplification in the video signal using the Gain button. The gain setting appears in the upper-left portion of the vector pane, as shown in Figure 3-22.
PRESS SETUP/ENTER Audio Display Press the AUD/ALARM button to display the audio display. The VTM-2000 accepts up to 4 AES/EBU, 4 mono analog or 2 stereo analog pair, and four groups of embedded inputs, and displays up to 4 analog channels.
Presets are used to store menu configurations and display settings. A total of three presets can be stored in the VTM-2000. Press the PRESET button to select user- configurable presets 1 through 3. If a preset does not exist, the Preset is skipped. Preset 4 is locked with the factory default values. Preset 4 cannot be changed.
Up to sixteen channels can be multiplexed on a single stream of 601 video, minimizing cabling and routing requirement. Audio Display The VTM-2000 instrument is capable of displaying analog or digital audio. To take advantage of this flexibility, use the AUDIO SETUP menu to select specifications unique to the studio environment.
The display colors are used to select the colors for the background, signals, and graticules of the VTM-2000. The colors are listed in Table 4-10 on page 4-46. The Display Color Selection Screen, shown in Figure 4-1, is used to set the colors. Any color selection that is not available is blocked out and not selectable.
REMOTE ports on the back of the VTMs and to the TO MAIN UNIT connector on the back of the RCU. All VTMs must have unique unit IDs, as described in Unit ID on page 4-55. The REMOTE port must be terminated on the last VTM-2000 using this menu.
2000 automatically configure an IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway every time the unit is powered on. The IP Address is dynamic and could change each time the VTM-2000 is powered on. DHCP Enable is set to OFF by default. GPI Output Function The GPI Output Function submenu is used to enable the GPI OUTPUT and determine the GPI OUTPUT POLARITY.
When the contact closure opens, the GPI is activated. Unit ID The unit ID is the identification number of the VTM-2000. It can be set to any number within a range of 1 to 99 and should be different than the identification numbers of other units in the same system configuration.
1. Connect the ATS1 to adapter box with banana plugs, and then plug the 37-pin D-sub to the VTM-2000. 2. Set the ATS1 output to +4dBu, and then turn the output on. Set the VTM-2000 input C for analog audio.
Loss of Sound Digital 1. Connect the “Test Signal” of the VSG to input A of the VTM-2000. 2. Set the VSG output level to –10 dB. Set the VTM-2000 input A for Embedded audio. 3. On the VTM-2000 press the SETUP button and select AUDIO ALARMS\LOSS OF SOUND\DIGITAL and enable all four channels.
Alarm Descriptions Digital Gamut – RGB Gamut Upper 1. Connect the “Test signal” of the VSG to input A of the VTM-2000. 2. Set the VSG to 525 75% color bars. 3. On the VTM-2000, press the SETUP button and select VIDEO ALARMS DIGITAL\DIGITAL GAMUT\RGB GAMUT UPPER and enable the alarm.
1. Loop the bars output of the VSG-210 through a X6 and to input A of the VTM- 720. 2. Loop input A of the TVM-720 to input C of the VTM-2000. 3. Select SC/H Phase (CH A) on the TVM-720.
Analog Gamut – Peak Lower 1. Connect the NTSC analog color bars to input C of the VTM-2000. 2. On the VTM-2000, press the SETUP button and select VIDEO ALARMS ANALOG\ANALOG GAMUT\PEAK LOWER and enable the alarm.
NOTE: When power is applied to the unit, the display shows the startup screen for about 25 seconds. If the VTM-2000 is not functioning properly, first verify that: The VTM-2000 is connected to a power source (90–264 VAC, 50/60 Hz nominal). All cables are correctly connected (see Section 2, “Installation”).
3. Once the quad display appears, the cold start is complete. Updating with Vflash The VTM-2000 is updated using the Vflash program. Obtain the latest .flu file from the Harris Premier website and follow the instructions in the Vflash User Guide located on the Vflash CD to update the device.
