7 1 Site Planning You need to carefully plan for space, environmental, and power requirements for your Avid hardware so the installation proceeds smoothly. During your planning you need to consider: Which Avid components are standard and which are optional. This can affect your installation date if you need to obtain some optional components from sources other than Avid. The environment into which you are installing the Avid shared storage and workgroup hardware. You might need to make adjustments to keep the components within their normal operating limits. The electrical capacity of the area where you are installing the Avid shared storage and workgroup environment. You might need to upgrade the power and electrical outlets due to the power requirements of Avid shared storage and workgroup hardware. You should refer to this guide anytime you plan to move the hardware, or when you install additional components to expand the capacity of your Avid workgroup. Choosing the System Location The Avid hardware is modular and consists of: One or more Avid storage enclosures Shared storage servers: Avid ISIS System Director, Avid Unity Media Engine Interplay servers AirSpeed Multi Stream, AirSpeed, and DNxchange capture and playout servers Ethernet and Fibre Channel switches Avid editing systems as workgroup clients Avid recommends that you mount all the components in a rack and provide proper computer-room space for the hardware.

8 Customer Responsibility You need to be aware of the following requirements whether you are providing computer-room space or other properly prepared space for your hardware: Locate the hardware away from high-traffic areas and potential impacts. High-traffic areas include patch panels, experimental equipment, or equipment that needs frequent physical reconfiguration. Choose a location where the hardware will be free from significant temperature or humidity changes, or possible damage from moisture. Locate the hardware in a clean environment, free from smoke and dust. Do not place any hardware over or near ventilation holes in a raised-floor computer room. Do not place any hardware under ceiling or wall ventilation ducts or cold air returns. Dust from the ventilation can cause problems with the hardware. Verify that the location you select has a sturdy, level floor, and is not subject to vibration. The rack holding the hardware must be stable during normal operation and service. Make sure the hardware has adequate space in front of and behind the rack for times when service or reconfiguration is necessary. If the rack has a door, it must be able to open completely to allow access to the front panels of the hardware. Make sure there is adequate power and the correct receptacle type for each hardware component, the rack power strips, and the optional UPSs. Do not use extension cords to plug in any of the hardware components. If you are using a Failover System Director you should connect it to a different circuit than the First System Director. Make sure you have Ethernet connections near the Avid hardware. This allows for connections to the network for configuration and troubleshooting, when necessary. Make sure you have a telephone line near your Avid workgroup to allow you to talk with Avid Customer Support, if necessary. Customer Responsibility Before installing your Avid workgroup hardware, you are responsible for: Developing a floor plan for your hardware configuration. This includes the Avid workgroup and attached clients. Preparing your site to meet all the proper power, environmental, and space requirements for the Avid shared storage hardware and any attached clients. To obtain site requirements for your Avid shared storage clients, see the Knowledge Base on the Avid Web site ( Obtaining a rack for mounting Avid shared storage and Interplay products. For rack recommends, see Rackmounting Requirements on page 36. 8

9 Customer Responsibility n c Choose a rack that has receptacles and plugs appropriate for the power requirements of the hardware you are purchasing. Obtaining a display for accessing the System Director through the network. Obtaining and running all cables between the Avid shared storage hardware and any attached clients throughout your facility. Running all cables related to your LAN, and providing the proper network setup and connections. Installing and configuring any Ethernet routers or bridges, not supplied with the Avid workgroup, before the Avid representative begins your system installation. Installing appropriate Ethernet connections within the areas where Avid shared storage, servers, and clients are being installed. Avid is not responsible for installing or troubleshooting cables that you do not purchase from Avid. Avid also does not provide network services for your in-house network and strongly suggests you use a local service provider to install and set up network connections. Avid does supply networking services for any Ethernet connections between the Avid workgroup, its clients, and its servers. Customer-Supplied Components You need to supply the following components in Avid shared storage environments and workgroups: Avid qualified or approved Gig-E Ethernet switch with 10-Gb ports Industry 19-inch standard rack Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) provided by customer A keyboard, video, and mouse switch (KVM) Security Considerations Security for the Avid hardware should be addressed during site planning. Planning and implementing security for the hardware before installation would prevent you from disrupting or moving the hardware and users at a later time. If you have a secured network area for the Avid hardware, you might need to arrange security clearance for the Avid administrators who access the hardware. 9

10 Customer Responsibility Synchronizing Equipment n n Avid editing systems require synchronization when capturing audio and video. Digital audio signals (AES/EBU, S/PDIF, and optical) contain their own synchronization (sync) signal. A sync signal for analog audio and analog video can also be generated from the connected REF signal, from incoming video, or internally by some Avid I/O boxes. The digital signal from a 1394 device has its own sync signal, to which the Avid I/O box synchronizes. When doing a digital cut, you need to select the type of sync you are using in the Video Output tool. Tri-level Sync n You must use a tri-level sync to synchronize your VTR and Avid components for all the HD formats. Tri-level sync could be considered functionally the same as black-burst video since it is the reference-synchronizing information from the facility s master generator. The tri-level sync signal must be connected to the on SYNC or reference (REF) input of the Avid components. To make sure the configuration you are using is properly synced, read the documentation that ships with your all your video devices. Black-Burst Sync Word Clock Video reference (REF) sync signals are supplied from a black burst generator (BBGen) or from a house sync. When using SD video, a black-burst or house sync signal must be connected to the on SYNC or REF input of the Avid components. The Word Clock Out signal is primarily used to sync an audio device with the Avid I/O box s internal sync. When the Avid I/O box generates a sync signal from a video input, an audio device can use the Word Clock Out to sync to the Avid I/O box. Supported Cabling n When planning your cable routes, make sure your cables cannot be damaged by traffic or moving objects. Avid supports the following cable types and lengths when connecting Avid components and workgroups. If you need run your cables greater distances, call Avid Customer Support for supported cable and accessory information. For cable connections, see the Avid Setup Guide for your product. 10

11 Customer Responsibility Network Connections The cables described in the following table pertain to Avid Engines, servers, and switches used in the Avid workgroup environments. Also use these cable guidelines when connecting your clients and workstations to the workgroup.

The maximum length of the external Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) cable must not exceed 16 ft (5 meters). If connecting two SCSI storage enclosures (one enclosure on each SCSI channel) you can use a 16-foot (5 meter) SCSI cable on each SCSI channel. The maximum length of the external Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) cable must not exceed 16 ft (5 meters). If connecting two SAS storage enclosures (one enclosure on each SAS channel) you can use a 16-foot (5 meter) cable on each channel. 14

15 Customer Responsibility Local Storage and 1394 Cables (Continued) Cable Type Function Maximum Cable Length 1394 (FireWire ) cables. n Macintosh systems more commonly use the term FireWire, where Windows systems use the IEEE term of Connects Avid I/O boxes, decks, and cameras. The Avid Adrenaline has two 1394 connectors. The 6-pin connector is used to connect the Avid Adrenaline to the workstation. The 4-pin connector is used for connecting cameras, decks or other video devices for input or output. The rear of the Avid Mojo has a 4-pin DV connector used for connecting cameras, decks, or other video devices, the connector does not support 1394 (FireWire) drives. The IEEE 1394 cabling standard requires that IEEE 1394 (FireWire) devices be within ft (4.5 m) of the next bus connector. Your FireWire cable must not exceed this length. Avid products do not support the use of IEEE 1394 (FireWire) repeaters to boost or extend the signal to the device. In addition, Avid does not support any type of cable extender or FireWire hub between the Avid editing system connections. RS-422 Serial Control Mechanism Connections Avid uses the industry standard guidelines for the RS-422 connection between capture and playout servers and the control mechanism. The maximum cable length is 1200 m (4000 ft) based on Baud Rate and a other variables (for example the cable type and electrical noise in the environment).

16 Network Considerations Network Considerations This section contains topics related to setting up your an Avid network environment. Computer Names A hostname must comply with RFC 952 standards. For example, you cannot use an underscore in a hostname. For more information, see Naming Conventions in Active Directory for Computers, Domains, Sites, and OUs on the Microsoft Support Knowledge Base. Verify Entries on the DNS Server Make sure that you correct any errors in DNS entries for name to IP resolution. The Avid network can become sluggish and unstable if there are incorrect entries in the DNS server for any of the computers in the Interplay environment. Symptoms include excessive CPU usage by the Interplay Framework Lookup service and Interplay Diagnostics. The tree view in the Interplay Service Configuration or Health Monitor may also fail to populate if there are incorrect DNS entries. Configure the DNS Server to Support Reverse Lookup Ensure that the DNS server is configured to support Reverse Lookups. If DNS is not configured for Reverse Lookup, Interplay Framework cannot resolve IP addresses to host names. Symptoms include; tree views fail to populate in the Interplay Service Configuration, Interplay Diagnostics, and Health Monitor. Non-DNS Environments In a non-dns environment you must configure a host file on all systems, including Avid Low Res Encode systems. This is necessary so that the Interplay Framework can list the systems in its client applications such as the Interplay Service Configuration or Health Monitor. Computers with Multiple Network Interfaces Computers that have multiple network interfaces in use must be entered in DNS so that all IP addresses have the exact same hostname. If you have multiple network interfaces on a computer and one is not used, use the Device Manager to disable the interface. If not, the computer may have problems communicating with the Interplay Framework Multicast Repeater. Configuring an Avid Shared Storage System On an Avid ISIS media network, if your network extends outside of ISIS Zone 1 and Zone 2, you must configure a Layer 3 switch/router to communicate between the two subnetworks. 16

17 Network Considerations Know Where Your Subnets Are on the Network Create a system diagram that identifies the subnets on your Avid Interplay environment. You must install and configure the Multicast Repeater software on each subnet as part of the Avid Interplay Framework installation. Avid recommends you use Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) IP ranges of contiguous addresses instead of non-contiguous ranges V10, V20, V30. Avid Unity MediaNetwork Port Blocking Some users need to block ports on the Avid Unity Media Engine to protect their systems.

25 Network Considerations Time Synchronization If you already have a system in place to maintain Time Sync on your network, you can continue to use that system. Avid Interplay provides the Interplay Framework Time Synchronization service to perform the same task. The Avid Time Synchronization Service enables time synchronization between different machines in a workgroup. The Time Synchronization Service can operate in either Master mode or Slave mode. In Master mode, the service retrieves a reference time from a configured time source and redistributes it to the Slave services within the workgroup. The time source can be the local PC clock, an NTP server, or an Adrienne Timecode card installed in a server, such as the CaptureManager server. In Slave mode, the Time Synchronization Service listens for time notifications from the workgroup and (optionally) sets the local PC clock to match. It is important to use only one time synchronism mechanism to set the local PC clocks in the Interplay environment. If a Time Synchronization Slave service is configured to set the local PC clock and it detects that some other mechanism (such as Windows 32 Time Services) changes the local clock, then the Time Sync Slave service will disable itself to avoid the local clock from jumping back and forth. The Time Sync slave will also post a Warning in the Health Monitor. 25

36 3 Rackmounting Requirements This chapter provides information on type of rack needed when mounting Avid equipment. Avid equipment is designed for 19-inch (483-mm) rack enclosures and should be a minimum of 24-inches (610-mm) deep.the height is measured in rack units, one Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) rack unit is 1 ¾ inches (44.5 mm) of rack space. All Avid rack-mount components are supplied with either mounting rails or brackets. Follow the manufacturer s installation instructions supplied with each component to correctly attach the rails or brackets to the rack rails. If the rack-mount rails and brackets are designed by Avid, instructions are included in the Avid setup guide for your product. Rackmounting the Equipment Rackmounting equipment provides easier access to the cables, connectors, and drives. The following list provides a recommendations you should take into account prior to rack mounting Avid equipment: Elevated Operating Ambient If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer. Reduced Air Flow Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. The airflow in many of the components is from the front of the chassis enclosure to the rear. Make allowances for cooling air to be available to the front panel surface and without anything restricting the airflow in the rear. Mechanical Loading Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading. If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting the equipment in the rack. Make sure your rack enclosure is stable enough to prevent a tip-over hazard when one or more rack-mounted components are extended on the sliding rails.

37 Rackmounting the Equipment w To ensure the stability of the rack enclosure, start from the bottom when you install the rack components in the rack enclosure. - Heaviest equipment should go at the bottom of the rack For example, the storage enclosures. - Lighter equipment goes towards the middle and top of the rack For example a Keyboard, monitor, and mouse assembly (KVM) or Ethernet switches at the top of the rack. Circuit Overloading Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern. If you have a redundant configuration you might place equipment in different racks for example, place the System Director and Failover System Director in different racks, separate the storage elements between racks, place redundant Ethernet switches in different racks, and have the power from each rack connected to different circuits. Reliable Earthing Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips). Clearance and Access The following recommendations allow you to better service your equipment: Avid recommends that you leave a 1U or 0.5U space between each piece of equipment mounted in the racks This allows for better airflow, cable access, and helps to reduce vibration in any equipment being transferred to equipment above and below. For normal operation and service, you ll need approximately 3 feet (1 meter) of open space in front and behind the rack. This allows for the removal of any component that needs to be replaced. 37

38 Rackmounting the Equipment Airflow Make sure you do not obstruct the airflow around the rack with large containers, boxes, desks, chairs, or other objects. This can cause the Avid hardware in the rack to run at an elevated temperature and possibly shorten individual component life. Leave an 8- to 12-inch space at the bottom of the rack for better airflow. This also lowers the possibility of dust or dirt being picked up by the devices. Avid has not qualified racks with front and/or rear doors for use with Avid hardware and therefore cannot recommend this configuration. Avid hardware relies on unencumbered front to rear air flow which can be compromised by obstructions including doors. Some optional racks are available with a fan located in the top of the rack. If you select one of these racks, make sure the fan does not become obstructed by dirt, dust, or paper so it can provide proper cooling for the components in the rack. Fans located in a rack do not preclude the distance needed for open area in front and back of the rack to allow proper airflow to the Engine. 38

39 4 Electrical Requirements You should consider installing a separately derived power system for your Avid shared storage hardware. This ensures that you can control the hardware grounding, with all grounds brought to a single point, and that uncontrolled equipment, such as coffee makers or floor polishers, cannot be plugged into the same power source as the Avid shared storage hardware. If you do not create a separately derived power system, you need to make sure the power outlets you use are from the same distribution panel. This helps prevent the occurrence of ground loops that can be caused by plugging equipment into power sources with different ground potentials. w n If you run more than one power line because you have more than one UPS, you must make sure the power lines come from the same distribution panel. You should have all the electrical work at your site done by a licensed electrician. All the electrical changes must meet country, state, and local electrical codes. As you choose the location for your Avid shared storage hardware, keep these electrical requirements in mind: Make sure there is adequate, dedicated power for the UPSs that are part of your Avid shared storage workgroup. Avid recommends the use of UPSs, appropriately sized for your Avid shared storage workgroup, or conditioned power in your computer room environment. This provides protection against sudden power surges or losses that could cause you to lose files or experience data corruption. Make sure your location is away from major electrical equipment such as motors, air conditioners, or elevators. Make sure the location is not subject to electrostatic buildup. Plug only your Avid hardware into the power strips. Do not plug in coffee makers, radios, lights, or other non-avid devices. n The following table shows the electrical specifications for all the Avid hardware. Make sure your site meets these specifications. There are three load balancing power supplies in the Engine. When powered up, they share the load between all three supplies for a total of 1200W.

42 Recommended Avid ISIS Power Connections Recommended Avid ISIS Power Connections The Avid ISIS hardware includes three power supplies using an N+1 configuration for redundancy. The three power supplies load share to allow the balanced distribution of V ac power into each Avid ISIS Engine. Usually, a minimum of two of the three power supplies must be operational at one time for the Engine to function properly. If a power supply fails, leave it in place until you have a replacement. The required airflow for the Engine is disrupted if a power supply is missing. Avid recommends that each power supply be provisioned with at least 5 amps of current capacity per power cord (120 V ac). This allows the system to continue running if one of the three power supplies fails, with the two remaining load-sharing power supplies drawing slightly less than 10 amps. When possible, use one 20-amp circuit for each System Director. c n Each System Director has up to two power supplies rated at 5.8 amps each. Each System Director includes two power supply. Use one 20-amp circuit for each System Director. Power supplies should only be installed in the Engines after the Engines have been rack mounted as described in the Avid ISIS Setup Guide. Engines are powered on when the power cords are inserted. Do not connect the power cords to the Engines until instructed to do so in the documented procedures. Engines are turned on one at a time by plugging at least two power cords into two power supplies at the same time. Plug the third power cord into the third power supply soon after the first two power supplies have been given V ac power. The Engine is ready when all lights on the front panel turn Green. Three 20-Amp AC Circuits for Three ISIS 7000 Engines When you are using three 20-amp circuits for three Engines, they are configured as follows. Avid recommends that you have one power supply from each Engine connected to each 20-amp circuit. An Engine can operate on two power supplies for a period of time to allow you to protect data. The following illustration shows an example of how the power should be connected to protect data. 42

ISIS 2000 Power Connections The Avid ISIS 2000 System Director and Engine include each two power supplies for redundancy. At least one of the power supplies must be operational for the either the System Director or Engine to function. If a power supply fails, leave it in place until you have a replacement. The System Director and Engine can each operate on one power supply, but you are running in an unprotected mode. The power cable that comes with the ISIS 2000 Engine is a C19 to C20 power cable. The C19 end is a female connector which plugs into the power supply on the Engine. The C20 end is a male connector, used to plug into a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) with C19 style connectors. 44

45 Recommended Avid ISIS Power Connections n An example of a PDU is the APC Basic Rack PDU with C V outputs and a twist lock NEMA LP6-30 input: Avid is not recommending any specific vendor or model of PDU. A PDU is a rackmount ready, high current power strip that can offer a variety of plug types. Purchase a model that suits the needs of the equipment in your rack. Each ISIS 2000 Engine power supply draws a maximum of 13 amps of current using 220 V ac. Each power supply in the Engine should be connected to a different 30-amp circuit. This allows the system to continue running if one of the two circuits fail. Each System Director has two power supplies rated at 5.8 amps each. Avid recommends each power supplies be on a separated 20-amp circuit. When using two circuits for the System Director and Engine they should be configured as follows: Power Connections 120 Volts 20 Amps System Director 120 Volts 20 Amps Engine 220 Volts 30 Amps 220 Volts 30 Amps 45

47 5 Environmental Requirements The Avid hardware is designed to operate in a standard open office or computer-room environment. When you select a location, you should: Make sure the location has a sturdy, level floor, and is not subject to vibration. Make sure the location is away from high-traffic areas. Make sure the location is clean and free from dust, smoke, or other airborne contaminants. Make sure the location does not have significant temperature changes. Choose a location where the temperature does not vary more than 18 F (7.78 C) per hour. Make sure the location does not have significant humidity changes. A location with approximately 40 percent humidity can prevent problems stemming from electrostatic discharge. Make sure the location has adequate space in front of and behind the rack. You must be able to connect cables and service parts of your hardware. It also needs adequate airflow for cooling. The following table provides information on operating and storage temperature, and humidity specifications for the Avid hardware components. Make sure your environment meets the narrowest range of specifications in the table. For example, the System Director can operate in an environment of 32 F to 122 F (0 C to 50 C), but the ISIS Engine should only operate in an environment of 40 F to 95 F (5 C to 35 C). Therefore, the temperature at your site should not drop below 40 F (0 C) or rise above 95 F (35 C) while the Engine is running.
