Overview
The Video Processor consists of a base chassis, dual AC inputs and up to four option cards. The base chassis is a 1 ‘RU’ 19” rack
mount chassis that provides the control interfaces, and two pairs of dual redundant Ethernet ports for data input and output.
The option cards provide the video, audio and data processing functionality and can be ‘Hot Swapped’, i.e. inserted or removed
whilst the chassis is powered.
Why Have Two Mains Connectors
Many broadcasting sites have two power supply chains, either from the master switchboard or, for major sites, from different points
on the supply grid. As the most common cause of system failure is loss of power, feeding the chassis from the separate chains
ensures reliability of supply and, therefore, continuity of service.
