Before getting started

Media Platform using factory default settings. After installing the PVS2000 using this
installation guide, you can refer to the Profile XP System Guide to customize system

About channels and factory default configuration
Profile applications use channels to control disk recording and playback. A channel
defines a grouping of Profile XP video, audio, and timecode resources and is
identified by a unique name. Profile XP software supports three channel types:
Recorder channel, Player channel, or Player/Recorder channel. For more information
on channel types and creating or modifying channels, refer the Profile XP System
Guide.
Your PVS2000 is shipped with default Recorder and Player channels. These default
channels are named Vtr1, Vtr2, Vtr3 and so on. The following table describes the
video and audio connections you’ll make for the two channel types. On the pages that
follow, you’ll find specifics about the type and number of default channels in your
system, and their video and audio I/O connections.
Rack-mounting the PVS2000 Series Chassis
This procedure assumes you have already rack-mounted the PVS2000, PFC500,
PFR500, PFR600, or PFR700 Fibre Channel RAID Chassis, I/O Panel, and audio
interface option as required. For rack-mounting information, see Appendix C, “Rack
Mounting Information and Rear Panel Drawings” in the Profile XP System Guide.
