Table 2-1: Serial Control Pin Definitions - RS-232 DCE Configuration On the 8010-SIE this port can also be configured in an RS-422 controller port and used to sense status information from the video recorder supplying video to the 8010-SIE (when the 8010-SIE is in VTR SID mode).
Table 2-2: Serial Control Pin Definitions - RS-422 Controller Configuration On the 8010-SIE-GPSII this port is configured at the factory for connection to the GPS antenna. If you need to upload firmware to the 8010-SIE-GPSII you will have to reconfigure the port to its RS-232 configuration as described in section 5.2.2.
2.2. MOUNTING The 8010-SIE Digital Source ID Encoder is equipped with rack mounting angles and fits into a standard 19 inch by 1 3/4 inch (483 mm x 45 mm) rack space. The mounting angles may be removed if rack mounting is not desired.
2.3.2.1. Selecting the Correct Mains Voltage Power requirements are 115 or 230 volts AC at 50 or 60 Hz. The 8010-SIE-GPS II and later versions of the 8010-SIE have a universal power supply that automatically senses the input voltage. Power should be applied by connecting a 3-wire grounding type power supply cord to the power entry module on the rear panel.
CONNECTING THE DIGITAL VIDEO 2.4.1. Video Input The 8010-SIE requires that a digital video source be connected to the SDI IN video input. The 8010- SIE may be configured to accept either 525 or 625 line digital video in the component (4:2:2) format.
CONNECTING TO A VTR RS-422 PORT (MODEL 8010-SIE ONLY) When the 8010-SIE is in the VTR mode, the serial remote control port is used to eavesdrop on the RS- 422 serial control between a VTR and its controller. The serial port is used to obtain timecode and status information from the VTR.
Profile recorder. (See chapter 4 for a complete description of the serial port operation). In order to properly address each of the 8010-SIE units connected in the daisy chain, the Profile sends out an ‘address’ before each command. The LVS ADDRESS menu item on the Engineering menu of the 8010-SIE must be set to match the address that the Profile is using for a specific output.
