Standard System Components

Standard System ComponentsStandard Zodiak system components include a Main panel, Menu panel with touch screen display, and Video Processor frame (Figure 1).

Figure 1. System Components

Control SurfaceThe modular design of Zodiak control panels provides flexibility for mounting component panels in various environments, and allows the addition of specialized accessory control panels. A group of panels avail-able to a single operator is called a Control Surface. A Control Surface con-sists of at least two components, a Main panel and a Menu panel.

Main PanelThe Main panel provides the operator with real time control of the system. Panel ventilation is accomplished by two fans located on the back of the power supplies which draw air into the panel, around the buttons, and expel it out the back. Blocking the front slots of the panel in a flush mount installation does not constrict ventilation.

Menu PanelThe Menu panel provides access to additional system configurations and controls that generally do not require adjustment during live production. Additional Menu panels may be added as options.

Note Only one Menu panel can be programmed to respond to button presses (DPOPs) from the Main panel.

Installation

Removable Media DrivesFour removable media drives are standard components of a Zodiak system:

• A CD-ROM in the Menu panel (see Figure 8),

• An external 250 MB Zip drive connected through and powered by the USB port on the Menu panel (see Figure 9), and

• Two standard 1.4 MB 3.5 in. floppy disk drives, one in the Main Panel tub (see Figure 2) and one in the Video Processor frame (see Figure 18).

Note The floppy disk drives are used exclusively for emergency boot procedures.

Installation

Main PanelMain panel installation requires careful attention to the console support structure and the console cutout dimensions necessary to accommodate the mounting flanges located on the front and sides of the tub (Figure 2).

Figure 2. Floppy Drive and Mounting Flanges

CAUTION The Main panel weighs approximately 36 kg (79 lb). Prior to installation, ensure that your console is structurally capable of supporting the Main panel.

The Main panel was designed to be flush mounted in a console, but it may also be surface mounted. Figure 3 provides installation details for both flush mount and surface mount installations. Figure 4 through Figure 6 provide panel dimensions and connector layout.

Installation

Ports located on the rear of the Menu panel (Figure 9) provide connections to the Zodiak Main Panel, Video Processor frame, an external Zip drive, and other devices.

Figure 9. Menu Panel Connections

CAUTION All Menu panel mounting holes are tapped 10-32. Do not penetrate the case more than 0.24 in. / 6.10 mm.

Available Mounting BracketsThree different mounting brackets are available for mounting the Menu panel:

• Adaptable Mounting Bracket (standard),

• Adjustable Console Bracket, or

• Flush Mount Kit.

When considering mounting options, remember that the optimum viewing angle is 90 degrees in both the horizontal and vertical planes. The adapt-able mounting bracket allows the Menu panel to be tilted on a horizontal axis for optimum viewing. Clamping pivot screws secure the bracket angle.

The adjustable console bracket has a friction-lock mechanism to allow the user to tilt the Menu panel to the desired horizontal position.

CAUTION When using either console mounting bracket, be sure to open the Main panel lid and check for sufficient clearance between the Menu panel and the Main panel components. Without sufficient clearance, the lever arm or joystick could damage the Touch Screen when the Main panel is opened.

Adaptable Mounting BracketAn adaptable mounting bracket ships with every panel. This mounting bracket allows mounting the Menu panel from above, from either side, or from the back of the Main panel (Figure 9 on page 12).

The recommended locations are to the left (Figure 10), right or behind the Main panel. These locations provide for the most comfortable reach to the Touch Screen, soft knobs, and CD-ROM, and also clears the area for better viewing of monitors beyond the Main panel.

Flush Mount Kit OptionThe Flush Mount kit option allows the Menu panel to be installed in a stan-dard 19 in. (483 mm) rack occupying 7 rack units (Figure 13). Alternatively, the Menu panel can be set into a console cutout (Figure 15 on page 17).

Access to the CD-ROM drive on the right side of the Menu panel is blocked with this mounting option, so an external CD-ROM drive with an adapter and USB cable is provided. The external CD-ROM drive connects to one of the two USB ports on the Menu panel and receives its power through this cable.

The Menu panel normally receives its DC power from the Main panel via a 10 ft (3 m) power cable. If a longer distance between the Main panel and Menu panel is required, the Menu panel can be powered by a separate power supply option.

Clearance for the exhaust fan on the right side of the panel and the inter-connect cables to the external CD-ROM drive, Main panel and Video Pro-cessor frame on the bottom of the panel must also be taken into consideration when mounting the panel in this manner.

Video Processor Power SupplyThe Zodiak Video Processor frame houses up to three slide-in modules rated at 400 watts each. (See Figure 18 on page 19).

Two hot-swappable power supply modules (primary and redundant) are standard with the 2.5-M/E system, and three power supply modules are standard with the 3-M/E system.

The power supplies load share such that a supply can fail and the Video Processor frame will continue to operate.

It is recommended that each module’s AC input be connected to a separate AC supply circuit. Any module(s) for which a separate supply circuit is not available can be connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Zodiak Video Timing and Delay

Zodiak Video Timing and DelayThe total delay of a video input to the switcher output can vary according to the relationship of the input to the switcher reference. The switcher will automatically autotime inputs by a specified amount (± B µs). Inputs must be within this timing range to be properly timed at the output. A timing diagram for illustrating the input autotiming window and various switcher delay values is provided in Figure 37.

Figure 37. Switcher Timing Diagram

Note For both 525 and 625 switcher operation, the approximate maximum switcher delay is one line of video.

• For inputs entering the switcher in zero time with the reference, the total delay through the switcher is expressed as the Nominal Switcher Delay (A µs).

• Inputs that reach the switcher at the latest point in the autotiming window (+ B µs) will have a total delay that equals the length of switcher processing. This value is expressed as the Minimum Switcher Delay (C µs).

• Inputs that reach the switcher at the earliest point in the autotiming window will have a total delay equal to the Nominal Switcher Delay (A µs) plus the autotiming value (– B µs). This value is expressed by the Maximum Switcher Delay value (D µs).

Delay values for a Zodiak system are given in Table 6.

Zodiak System Control CablingA simple Zodiak system consisting of a Main panel, Menu panel, and Video Processor frame uses point-to-point connections and does not require an external Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) (see Figure 39).

The Zodiak system uses Ethernet, serial, parallel, and USB connections. Tally and GPI control are available (see Figure 38).

Refer to Table 7 for a list of supplied cables.

Cable Polarity and Cross Over ButtonsThe point-to-point connections between the Main and Menu panel(s) and the Video Processor frame require that the Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) pairs in the Ethernet cables be swapped. This is normally achieved with a special peer-to-peer (crossover) LAN cable or an Uplink port on the switch or hub. In Zodiak systems, Cross Over buttons are provided on both the Menu panel and Main panel to allow swapping cable polarity thus elimi-nating the need for crossover cables. The LAN cables supplied with the Zodiak system are 100 ft (30 m) straight-through cables. The LAN Link LEDs at each LAN cable connector will illuminate after power up to indi-cate the connection is correct. If no communication can be established (either LAN Link LED is off), polarity can be reversed by pressing the Cross Over button on the Main and Menu panels.

LAN RequirementsA simple Zodiak system uses point-to-point connections and does not require connection to an external Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) or the use of an Ethernet switch (Figure 39).

Figure 39. Example Topography Not Requiring an Ethernet Switch

When components in addition to the Main panel, Menu panel, and Video Processor frame are connected, or when external network access to the Still Store file system is desired, connection to an external LAN and an appro-priately sized Ethernet switch will be required (see Figure 40 on page 35).

CAUTION An Ethernet switch is required for the main Zodiak interconnect to additional components instead of a hub. A hub should be used to exceed maximum cable runs.

Refer to Table 8 for Ethernet specifications.

Note All Ethernet components must be supplied by the customer.

Ethernet Switches and HubsZodiak optional components rely primarily on Ethernet switches for LAN interconnects (see Figure 40). 32-Crosspoint Remote Aux panels may be connected directly to the Zodiak switch, or through an Ethernet hub. A hub is required only if there is a need to exceed 328 ft (100 m) between a panel and Video Processor frame. If a hub is used, connect the hub to the switch via the Uplink port, or through a peer-to-peer crossover cable. Reserve a port on Zodiak’s Ethernet switch if you will be utilizing a hub or switch.

Note The number and type of components in your Zodiak system determines the size of the switch (number of ports) required. Refer to the following examples of system topography and the accompanying worksheet to determine the number of ports required for your system.
