not operate correctly, try another S/VGA board. Call EPIX for a list of suggested S/VGA boards.
9.3. If All Else Fails
If none of the above suggestions have solved the problem, call your distributor (if you purchased the board thru a distributor), or
FAX or e-mail EPIX for technical support. In the FAX or e-mail, include error messages that were displayed, describe symptoms
observed, and steps taken to attempt to solve the problem. It is helpful to call from a phone near the computer with the PIXCI®
SV4 imaging board installed.
The PIXCI® SV4 imaging board can be damaged during shipment. If damage is visible, check the shipping container for damage,
and notify the freight carrier.
If the board must be returned for test or repair, call EPIX for a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number. Be prepared to
describe the problem that has been encountered and what steps have been taken to attempt to correct it. Please include a written
description of symptoms, error messages, and steps taken to attempt to solve the problem with the packing list for the material
returned.
10. Hardware Revision Description
10.1. PIXCI® SV4
Changes from PIXCI SV3:
Added input/output buffer to prevent latchup of Bt848 when external equipment is powered up prior to Bt848.
1.
Changed to surface mount voltage regulator and crystal oscillators.
2.
Changes from PIXCI SV2:
Added second BNC connector. Video encoder now handles 3 video inputs.
1.
Added video input low pass filters for each of the BNC inputs. These filters are identical to the filter on the S-Video input.
2.
Added 1K ohm pullup resistors for the 8 trigger input, strobe outputs. These signals are open collector with high impedance
pullup resistors.
3.
Changes from PIXCI SV:
Added artwork to incorporate engineering changes that were added as wires or etch cuts.
1.
11. Certification and Warranty
11.1. Certification and Testing
The PIXCI SV4 imaging board has been tested per EMC directive 89/336/EEC and has met the following test requirements:
EN 50081-1/01.92,
EN 55022/08.94 class B
EN 61000-4-2/03.95
ENV 50204/03.95
These test are more commonly known as the ''CE'' test. The testing was performed to class B which has a more restrictive
emission limit than the FCC class B limit.
If you find that the computer system in which the PIXCI SV4 is installed is causing interference with other devices, try increasing
the distance between the devices, reorienting (turning) the devices, or using additional shielding on the computer system (such as
placing covers on the computer and installing metal shields in unused slots or over unused drive slots).
