The purpose of this manual is to provide all the technical information required to design a suitable installation for the ViVid system and to fit and connect the units. It is assumed that the installer is familiar with video and audio post production including analogue and digital video...
YSTEM VERVIEW The ViVid system is made up of one main rack mountable unit. The system is normally connected to a video monitor and a source device, such as a video tape recorder. The ViVid can be remote controlled from other devices such as the Fairlight MFX range of digital audio workstations via the Sony RS422 protocol.
Installation Manual, in the event of a packing omission. At this stage do not power up the system, nor remove electronic modules from the system, as damage may occur if not handled correctly. 1.5 E QUIPMENT UPPLIED EQUIPMENT SUPPLIED QUANTITY CHECK LIST ViVid IEC Mains Cable ViVid Installation Manual ViVid User Manual BNC 75 Ohm Terminator...
Do not fit the ViVid into a closed environment except where ducted air is forced through the rack. Do not run the ViVid whilst it is on the ground as it will accumulate dust, which may eventually cause a failure.
ViVid Front Panel If the ViVid is to be installed into a rack, the four feet on the underside of the system need to be removed using a philips screwdriver. Next remove the front dress panel, to allow access to the rack mount holders on the ViVid.
2.3 V ANEL ONNECTIONS The ViVid rear Panel is split into four distinct sections; Video I/O , Audio I/O , Timecode I/O and Communications I/O. The Video I/O Panel contains connections for 1 Composite Analogue Video Input and Output, 1 Y/C Input and Output and 1 Video Reference In and Loop Through.
2.4 C ABLING Once the mechanical installation of the ViVid is complete, a number of cables must be connected. Some of these connect various components together and may have been supplied with the system, others provide connection to the rest of the environment.
Connect a cable from the Video Out or Y/C Out Connector to an external picture monitor. To lock the ViVid to an external video reference, connect the source to the REF IN Port. To allow an external timecode to be used with the ViVid, connect a time code source to the LTC In Port.
XTERNAL EVICES The ViVid has been designed to accept one 5.5” drive bay internally which can hold a Kingston Technology DE-100 SW drive enclosure. The system typically comes configured with one system disk which contains the Operating System and ViVid software. This allows for one media drive to be fitted internally in the system.
3.2 S WITCHING ON THE Press the Power switch located on the front of the ViVid. The unit will show the SCSI ID flashing while the disk drive spins up. Drive activity is denoted by the flashing green dot in the drive indicator.
LEANING XTERIOR You should clean the ViVid unit often enough to prevent dust or dirt from accumulating. Dirt acts as a thermal insulating blanket that prevents effective heat dissipation and may provide high-resistance electrical leakage paths between conductors or components in a humid environment.
