Quick Start Guide
Rev. 9 7/7/18
Thank you for choosing our ChyTV HD graphics system. This Quick Start
Guide is a supplement to the ChyTV User Guide, which can be found in the
USB thumb drive Manuals folder. While most of the information in the current
ChyTV User Guide is applicable to the ChyTV Plus, HD 100, HD 150, HD 250,
HD BB, HD multi-SDI, HD Alert, and other ChyTV products, this Quick Start
includes brief descriptions of HD BB specific information not included in the
current User Guide. Note that the HD BB system is available in either a PC
tower or a 3 RU redundant power supply rack-mount chassis.
