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 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.
