Preface
About this Manual
The Profile PRO® Series User Manual supports Profile PRO system software
1.1 for the Profile PRO Series video disk recorders as well as other Profile
models. As a result, some of the features and functions described in this manual
are not applicable to the Profile PRO Series.
Profile PRO video disk recorders use digital technology to store and produce
broadcast-quality JPEG and MPEG video and CD-quality audio. This manual
documents the standard and optional software applications that run on the
Profile platform:
• The Profile Configuration Manager configures your hardware for input and
output of video and audio, genlock, and system timing.
• The Media Manager manages clips and masters on disk and in a cartridge
library system.
• The Transcode Utility converts media between different video compression
formats, such as from JPEG to MPEG.
• VdrPanel lets you capture and use JPEG and MPEG video and audio clips.
• The Profile Disk Utility lets you manage the Profile systems media disk
drives.
• The optional Tool Box Editor records media and performs simple, cuts-only
edits. It also allows you to create a sequence of clips called a master.
• The optional List Manager allows you to set up simple station automation.
• The Resource Manager allocates video, audio, and timecode resources for the
Tool Box Editor, the List Manager, and Time Delay.
• TimeDelay, also optional, allows you to delay a video feed by a specific
amount of time.
• Other Profile utilities include Profile Log (via WinTail), ProLink, and
PortServer, among others.
NOTE: This manual assumes that you are familiar with basic
Microsoft
Windows
operation.
