CHAPTER 1: DEVICE OVERVIEW DEVICE OVERVIEW Device Overview The VersAtive Pro, DigiVu II and DigiStream 1RU series, referred to as Devices in this manual, are built in identical chassis ® ® but with different input and processing capabilities. Each model, while very similar in layout, may be identifi ed by its unique from panel labelling.
Each of the Devices are factory confi gured with identical eth0 Management Port IP addresses. It is important to understand that the standard ATX Networks default IP address of 192.168.0.23 for management is assigned to all products. Before connecting each management port to the management switch, the IP addresses must be re-confi gured.
CHAPTER 1: DEVICE OVERVIEW 1 .4 System Power Supplies 1 .4 .1 Standard AC Power Supply Each Device chassis includes a high reliability, high-efficiency power supply, Figure 1-5, rated at 1620 Watts, and optionally, one similar redundant backup power supply. In the unlikely event your power supply fails, replacement is simple and can be accomplished without tools.
CHAPTER 1: DEVICE OVERVIEW 1 .5 Support for IPMI The Intelligent Platform Management Interface is an standards based interface used by some system administrators to remotely manage server hardware in an out of band fashion, that is irrespective of the installed operating system or BIOS of the sever.
CHAPTER 2: CAPTURE CARDS CAPTURE CARDS Capture Cards Capture Cards are used to ingest analog video/audio and SDI inputs to the Devices. They may be provided with some encoder models as factory ordered or added in the fi eld. The input connections are not silk screened as to their function and not all connections are used, so this guide will show which ports to use.
CHAPTER 3: REAR PANELS REAR PANELS Rear Panels Devices are named by their processing power, Small, Medium and Grande. All Devices are built in two models of chassis which differ only very slightly by their rear panel layout. The two main rear panel confi gurations are illustrated below. 3 .1 Chapter Contents •...
CHAPTER 3: REAR PANELS 3 .4 Grande Chassis Rear Panel Devices with 6 channel capacity and all VersAtive Pro models are built with the Grande mainboard with the rear panel confi guration shown in Figure 3-2. (VersAtive Pro all have redundant power supplies. Single supply is shown here) Safety Ground IPMI USB 1- 4...
If you suspect that there is a problem with the equipment that may preclude safe operation, do not install or operate it. Contact ATX Networks immediately for instructions. NOTE: This equipment is intended for installation in a RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATION only.
CHAPTER 4: INSTALLATION circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present. • This product may be connected to an IT power system. In all cases, make sure that the unit is also reliably connected to Earth (ground).
CHAPTER 4: INSTALLATION 4 .6 Install the Chassis in a Rack This section provides information on installing the Device chassis in a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions or adapt these instructions to suit the rack unit you are using.

CHAPTER 4: INSTALLATION 4 .6 .2 Install Inner Rail Extensions The chassis includes a set of inner rails which are in two sections: inner rails and inner rail extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack. Attach the inner rail extension to help support the rear of the chassis within the rack.

CHAPTER 4: INSTALLATION 4 .6 .3 Install the Outer Rails in the Rack Attach the longer section of the outer rail to the outside of the shorter section of the outer rail, Figure 4-3. You must align the pins with the slides. Both ends of the outer rail must face the same direction in order to be secured to the rack.

CHAPTER 4: INSTALLATION 4 .6 .4 Mount the Chassis Confi rm that the inner rails and rail extensions have been installed on the chassis. Confi rm that the outer rails and extensions are installed on the rack. Line up the chassis rails with the front of the outer rack rails, then slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting).
CHAPTER 4: INSTALLATION 4 .7 Equipment Safety Grounding Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips). The following guidelines are provided to clarify the requirements for the installation to meet UL, CUL and CB standards.
CHAPTER 4: INSTALLATION 4 .8 Power Supplies Power supplies for AC and DC operation are available as options and each may be ordered in a redundant supply version. The following points must be taken into account when installing the Device and connecting power. 4 .8 .1 AC Power Supplies Both the standard single power supply and the optional redundant AC power supplies are auto-sensing switching type power supply systems which may be operated on input voltages from 115 VAC to 230 VAC.
Page 27
If it is necessary to operate the product on 230 VAC, the installer must obtain IEC cords with a NEMA 6-15 grounded plug for use in North America. This may be obtained at time of order from ATX Networks or locally. If shipped outside of North America, the encoder will be supplied with an IEC cord set appropriate for the locale to which it is shipped.
CHAPTER 4: INSTALLATION 4 .9 Ethernet Cabling 4 .9 .1 Management Port (eth0) The rear panel Management Interface port allows connection to a notebook or desktop PC for managing and configuring the system. The port may be connected to directly, or in the case of a headend with many devices to manage, may be connected to a management network (recommended) or the distribution switch containing the video stream content.
STARTUP Startup Each of the Device chassis are factory confi gured identically with the standard ATX Networks default IP address of 192.168.0.23 assigned to port eth0 (Management Port). Before connecting each Device to the management switch, the IP addresses must be re-confi gured for your network.
