Quick Start Guide
Rev. 8 12/7/17
Thank you for choosing our ChyTV HD multi-SDI 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 multi-SDI specific information not
included in the current User Guide. Note that the HD multi-SDI system is
available in either a PC tower or a 3 RU redundant power supply rack-mount
chassis.
