2.7  Installing Crystal Vision modules 

The Indigo 4 frames each have 24 slots for Crystal Vision video, audio or optical cards. 
Signal connections are made through rear modules.  

The inside of the frame can be accessed to change the modules by pulling forward the two 
black handles, one on each side of the front panel.  

 

The Indigo 4 Crystal Vision frame with front control panel open 

 

 

Warning: 

Although the frame can be operated with the front panel open, the frame may not meet 
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements in this condition.
