System Installation
INSTALLING THE LABVAULT-HD
Perform the following installation steps:
1. The LABvault-HD may be left as a standalone, tabletop unit or mounted into a rack as follows:
a. Insert the LABvault-HD into the rack, aligning the holes of the unit’s mounting bracket with those of the rack.
b. Secure the LABvault-HD to the rack with user-supplied rack screws.
2. Connect the included power cable to the LABvault-HD’s power cord connector and then plug the other end into an
AC power source.
3. Using a straight-through RJ-45 Ethernet cable, connect the LABvault-HD Ethernet port to a hub or switch on
your TCP/IP network. To check your network connection, look at the Ethernet LEDs above the Ethernet port and
compare to the the table on the bottom corresponding to your LABvault-HD’s back panel.
4. Connect your video signal wiring to the LABvault-HD as follows:
a. Video Source: this is the video resource or signal the LABvault-HD will record. Connect your video source
wiring to the LABvault-HD’s BNC video input.
b. Video Preview: preview your recorded video before it is transferred from the LABvault-HD by connecting a
monitor to the LABvault-HD’s BNC video output.
5. Your LABvault-HD audio connections are determined by the type of audio signals you wish to record and play out,
as described below:
• Embedded Digital Audio: part of your digital video signal, no additional audio connections are needed to play or
record this type of audio signal.
• Non-Embedded Audio Signals: the LABvault-HD supports two-channel analog and AES balanced digital audio
signals. The LABvault-HD server comes equipped with two audio terminal blocks for recording and playing your
non-embedded audio signals.
To play/record any of the LABvault-HD’s supported, non-embedded audio signals, connect your audio signal wiring
according to the following steps:
NOTE:
The LABvault requires the following network
ports:
•
23 Telnet
• 21 FTP Control Connection
• 20 FTP Data (if using third party FTP client in
passive mode)
• 80 for the LABvault-HD Web interface
• 2000 UDP for ePRO-BUS Control
