may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

this equipment. Shielded cables must be used with this equipment to maintain compliance with FCC regulations.
WARRANTY STATEMENT
BUF Technology warrants that the equipment it manufactures is free from defects in materials and workmanship.
Equipment that has been operated within its ratings and has not been subjected to mechanical or other abuse or
modification and has failed because of such defects, will, at the option of BUF Technology, be repaired or replaced
if it is returned, freight pre-paid, to BUF Technology within two years from the date of shipment. Equipment that
fails under conditions other than described herein will be repaired at the price of parts and labor in effect at the time
of repair.
The disk drive used in the Sport-HD Replay System is not warranted by BUF Technology. Please refer to the
respective disk drive manufacturer for warranty information. When Sport-HD is disconnected from its power
supply, power should not be reapplied for at least five (5) seconds. Failure to follow this procedure results in “short
cycling” of the power and could cause permanent damage to the disk drive. Also, the disk cartridge should never
be removed from or installed into Sport-HD while power is connected.
This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, any implied warranty
of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. BUF Technology is not liable for any consequential damages.
OVERVIEW
The Sport-HD Replay System is a multi channel replay system consisting of a Sport-EX control panel with TBar
and one to six separate RM-HD Replay Recorder hard disk replay recorders. Separate single channel HD video
servers are used, so record and playback operations are separate and cannot occur simultaneously (recording
must stop when in playback mode). One HDSDI input and output are provided per channel which carry eight
channels of embedded digital audio in addition to the video signal. Two channels of analog audio are provided
which replace the first two embedded channels if used. Power supply to each RM-HD Replay Recorder is 12VDC
at 3A maximum. Power to the Sport-EX controller is provided by the first RM-HD in the system.
All recording and playback operations are controlled by the operator via the SPORT-EX control panel. Channels
can be selected together, independently, and/or in any combination. Memory for up to 1000 cue points allows
instant cueing of any or all channels to the same point in time. Cue points are referenced by the clip from which
they are made, and by timecode within each clip that may begin at zeros or the time of day when recorded. Clips
are named as they are recorded using the next available cue point number. When a new cue point is manually
marked, it automatically remembers the clip that was playing or recording, which is recalled each time the cue point
is used. Clip names are handled transparently to the operator, however a cue point that denotes a recorded clip is
indicated by a period (.) after its number, and can be deleted, but not changed. Ten playlists of up to 100 cue
points can be programmed and played with seamless cut edits. Cue points or entire playlists can be looped
indefinitely.
