The PDR100 Mother board with its connectors for the circuit boards allows the PDR100 to be configured in a number of ways. Any configuration of the PDR100 consists of circuit boards that are required in all configurations and circuit boards specific to a particular configuration.
This information can be useful when adding a new circuit board to the PDR100 and you need to move boards around to make room. Some of the circuit boards must be installed in specific locations, others are installed in locations that are dictated by the configuration.
PDR100’s RS-232 Serial port, the system hard disk drive, and the floppy disk drive. There is also a parallel port, the IDE interface for the system hard disk, and the floppy disk driver.
J14 through J17 are also dedicated slots, used for the Disk Recorders, Reference Genlock, and RS422A Interface circuit boards. Slave Disk Recorder When the PDR100 is configured for four channel operation, a Slave Disk Recorder circuit board is required. This circuit board is always located in slot J15. Analog Composite Input The Analog Composite Video Input is a two circuit board set requiring two EISA/ Video Router slots (between J5 and J13.) One slot is occupied by the Decoder circuit...
Each Audio Input/Output circuit board provides four-channel analog audio input and output. Up to four Audio circuit boards can be installed in a single PDR100. Audio circuit boards do not require connection to the Video Router, which also allows them to be used in slots J3 and J4 (EISA only.) However, they do need to be adjacent to a...
Chapter 2 Configuration Typical Configurations The majority of the PDR100’s will use one of the following typical configurations. Processor and Disk Recorder circuit boards remain constant throughout the configurations. Serial Four-Channel In and Four-Channel Out This is Option 40 in the standard factory configurations. The Serial I/O circuit boards have two-channel input and output each;...

Panel, and the XLR100 Audio Bypass Unit. This equipment is designed to be rack mounted. The PDR100 and the PDX103 are mounted to the rack with rack slides and face forward in the rack. The RS 422 Control Panel and the XLR100 mount at the rear of the rack using front panel attaching screws.
Chapter 3 Mechanical Installation Rack Dimensions The PDR100 Disk Recorder, PDX103 Disk Expansion Unit, XLR100, and the RS-422 Connector Panel are all shipped with hardware for rack mounting. The major dimensions for all four units are shown in Figures 3-2, 3-3, 3-4, and 3-5. All four units fit in a standard 19-inch (48.3 centimeter) rack.

28 inches (39.4 and 71.1 cm). Six inches (15.25 cm) of clearance between the PDR100 rear panel and any rear cabinet panel is required for connectors and cable bends. In addition, adequate air flow must be assured around the cabinet to provide sufficient cooling.

Mounting the PDR and PDX Units Installing the PDR100 or PDX103in the Rack Slides 1. Pull the slide-out track section to the fully extended position. See Figure 3-10. 2. Insert the ends of the cabinet chassis sections into the slide-out sections.
CAUTION: Be sure all cables are disconnected from the PDR100 or PDX103 prior to attempting to remove the unit. WARNING: Both the PDR100 and the PDX103 are considered to be too heavy for one person to remove. PDR100 exceeds 70 pounds when equipped with eight hard disks.
Electrical Installation Power Source The PDR100, PDX103, and XLR100 are designed to operate from a single-phase power source having one of its current-carrying conductors at or near earth ground (the neutral conductor). Only the line conductor is fused for over-current protection.
Chapter 3 Mechanical Installation Cabling for All Applications In order to install the PDR100, it is necessary to connect a number of cables. Most of the cabling is straightforward; however, there are some subtleties that need to be considered. To ensure compliance with EMI certification requirements, the mesh washers supplied must be used when connecting BNC connectors to the rear panel.
PDR100 Rear Panel Connections PDR100 Rear Panel Connections There are a number of rear-panel connections that must be made to use the PDR100. Each connector on the rear panel will be discussed with any required terminations. Figure 3-12 shows the connections required from the four circuit boards mounted in slots 14 through 17.
In addition to the audio bypass unit, an eight-connector breakout cable can be used to bring the audio signals into the PDR100 audio interface. Figure 3-13 shows one of two optional cables. The XLR connectors are labeled to correspond with the Input and Output Channels shown in Table 3-2.

Processor card. If both sets of connectors are present, it is recommended that the set on the PDR100 rear panel be used, they have additional EMI suppression built in. Connectors for the mouse and keyboard are identical 6-pin types. Be sure that they are plugged into the correct connectors.
One connector for each channel serves as the input while the other is then terminated with the passive termination. See Figure 3-19. The termination is the same one shipped with the PDR100, which must now be on the PDX103 end of the SCSI bus. 9500-2 Figure 3-19.

The software scans the bus from right to left as viewed from the back of the PDR100, and assigns the board numbers in that order. The video connectors are labeled as the software would initially configure them.
The Audio circuit boards accept DB-25 connector-equipped cables. In order to interface with standard XLR connectors, either a “breakout box,” such as the Tektronix XLR100 Audio Bypass Unit, or a special cable that provides eight XLR connectors from a single DB-25 connector will be required. The adaptor cable can also be ordered from Tektronix.

Chapter 3 Mechanical Installation Internal Jumpers, Switches, and Audio Cables The PDR100 is designed to provide as much flexibility as possible. To accomplish this, plug jumpers and DIP (dual in-line package) switches have been designed in to allow for a number of operating conditions. The factory settings are optimum for most applications.

The impedance is determined by whether there are jumpers installed on the four sets of pins (one for each channel) on the top of circuit board. When the pins are shorted together by jumpers, the lines are terminated in 600Ω. The PDR100 is normally shipped with jumpers installed for 600Ω termination.
Timing the PDR100 to the System Timing the PDR100 to the System In a number of applications it will be necessary to time the PDR100 to the system. The internal reference for the PDR100 is the Reference Genlock. The PDR100 is shipped with 0 delay in the reference and the output timed to the reference.
Chapter 3 Mechanical Installation Reference—Timing a PDR100 The PDR100 has a few special considerations that should be taken into account when determining how to time your system. • The PDR 100 is designed so that a prerecorded output is perfectly timed to the Genlock Input, when no delay is set on the Video Output.
Notice that the Reference House Black is the Genlock signal for both the PDR100 and the SPG 422 (a sync pulse generator). Also notice that the Reference House Black signal is not be used directly as the genlock signal for PDR100 input sources.
Updating the Software Use the disks that came with your PDR100 or with your Field Upgrade kit. If you have more than one set of disks, use the one with the higher version number. Follow the procedures in the Release Notes that accompany the diskettes.
>>> WARNING. The Emergency Repair Disk is PDR100 specific. (The disk shipped with the PDR100 is the ONLY one that will work with that PDR100.) Keep track of this disk. >>> WARNING. Repairing the Window NT operating system requires a copy of Windows NT 3.51.
