32 APOLLO
Digital Broadcast Production Console
Processing Core
4 x BNC connectors provide sync inputs,
allowing for redundancy and a range of
formats. Two inputs are for SD / HD video
sync signals, one for AES DARS and one
for TTL wordclock.
The upper section of the core also
contains LED indication to show the
status of the fans fitted within. Failures
are also reported by the console's System
Status system.
Installing/removingcards
To remove a module from the core, take
hold of both top and bottom card handles,
press both of the red latches and open the
card handles outwards to lever the module
away from the backplane connectors.
The module can then be slid out of the
core. Avoid touching any exposed parts
of the circuit board unless observing ESD
precautions.
To install a module, line up the card edges
with the card guides in the rack slot and
gently slide it in. Ensure the handles are
in the open position and push the card
