Overview Overview The Avid Adrenaline is designed to capture and output analog media and digital media (DV 25) using digital decks, cameras, and digital audiotapes. The Avid Adrenaline is powered by an autosensing power supply connected by a standard power cord to a wall plug or power strip. The Avid Adrenaline accepts video and audio in different formats and resolutions, and changes these formats and resolutions to Avid-specific data for transfer to the Avid editing system over a 1394 (FireWire®) cable. The data transfer uses an Avid-specific protocol that describes the format and resolution of the data being input. You then edit the data on the Avid editing system and return it to the Avid Adrenaline to be changed back to the proper format and resolution as needed for video and audio output. The Avid Adrenaline consists of: • The Avid Adrenaline enclosure, backplane, power supply, and power cord • A standard-definition (SD) video I/O board • A high-definition (HD) video I/O board, called the Avid DNxcel™ • A four-channel audio I/O board A Professional/Consumer In audio cable is provided with the Avid Adrenaline that allows you to input four channels of analog audio. The cable has a DB25 connector at one end that plugs into the Avid Adrenaline and eight separate connectors at the other end that allow you to input either four channels of professional analog audio (using XLR connectors) or four channels of consumer analog audio (using RCA® connectors). Also included in the kit is a 6-pin to 6-pin 1394 cable that connects the Avid Adrenaline to the host system platform. The Avid Adrenaline is shipped with a Using the Avid Adrenaline CD-ROM that includes this online document. 5 Using the Avid Adrenaline Avid Adrenaline Front and Rear Panel The Avid Adrenaline is turned on from the front panel and most cables are connected at the rear of the enclosure.

Do not use ¼ mono cables in this connector, as your output levels might be too high. a. At this time, the SDTI outputs function as SDI outputs. Synchronizing Audio and Video Equipment 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 the Avid Adrenaline. n The digital signal from a 1394 device has its own sync signal, to which the Avid Adrenaline synchronizes. n When doing a digital cut, you need to select the type of sync you are using in the Video Output tool. The following list summarizes how sync works: • HD Tri-Level Sync — Tri-level sync signals are generated from the incoming tri-level house sync. If there is no sync connected, an internal sync is used. Tri-level sync works similar to an analog sync, but the tri-level sync signal consists of a three-level sync pulse: zero volts (0V) blank, a –0.3 V pulse, and a +0.3 V pulse. 13 Using the Avid Adrenaline n Do not connect a tri-level sync to the Ref connector on the SD Video I/O board or connect the reference sync to the tri-level sync connector on the Avid DNxcel board. The proper sync signal must be connected to the correct connector for the sync to work. • n Video Reference IN (REF) — Sync signals are generated from the incoming black burst generator (BBGen) or from a house sync. If there is no sync connected to REF, an internal sync is used. By default, the sync signal is generated from incoming video whenever you capture analog video. Depending on the configuration of the audio and video equipment attached to the Avid Adrenaline, you might need to use a BBGen or house sync; for example, when you perform an Insert Edit. • Incoming video signal — When you capture video, a sync signal is generated by the Avid Adrenaline from the incoming video: component, composite, SDI, S-Video, or DV. When you capture analog video and audio, the Avid Adrenaline generates a sync signal from the incoming video, but it does not sync your video to your audio. You must sync these externally to the Avid Adrenaline. c 14 • Word Clock Out signal — The Word Clock Out signal is primarily used to sync an audio device with the Avid Adrenaline’s internal sync. When the Avid Adrenaline generates a sync signal from a video input, an audio device can use the Word Clock Out to sync to the Avid Adrenaline. • Incoming analog audio — When you capture audio only, the Avid Adrenaline does not sync to the incoming audio. An external sync should be used in this case. When you capture audio using the AES/EBU inputs on the Avid Adrenaline, always use AES/EBU channels 1 and 2 first. The AES/EBU 1/2 connector syncs to the incoming digital signal. If you connect to the AES/EBU 3/4 connector only, the internal sync on the Avid Adrenaline does not sync with the incoming digital audio signal and the audio data will be corrupted. Use the AES/EBU 3/4 connector only if you need 4 channels of AES/EBU audio. Power-On Self-Tests Power-On Self-Tests The Avid Adrenaline runs power-on self-tests (POSTs) to determine if the box and the boards within the box are operating properly each time you turn it on. If a failure occurs during the POST, specific Avid Adrenaline status LEDs on the front panel (see the following figure) light to help you determine which board within the Avid Adrenaline is not functioning properly. Avid Adrenaline Status LEDs Status LEDs used for POST Power button HD SD DV NTSC PAL REF Pull Down LTC 44.1 48 96 1 2 3 4 5 6 IN HD SD DV NTSC PAL 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 OUT REF The following table shows the failure codes presented on the LEDs that define passing and failing during POST, and which specific board has failed. n If no LEDs are lit 10 seconds after you turn on the Avid Adrenaline, the Avid Adrenaline has not yet reached the capability of running diagnostics and should be considered nonfunctional. When a failure occurs in the POST, both the high-definition (HD) and standard-definition (SD) LEDs are lit and the DV and NTSC LEDs define the failing board. The PAL and REF LEDs might be on or off. For more information on the LEDs, see “Front Panel” on page 6. POST Failure Codes HD SD DV NTSC PAL REF Failed Board On On On On – – Audio On On On Off – – Avid DNxcel On On Off – – – SD Video 15 Using the Avid Adrenaline 1394 Requirements The rear of the Avid Adrenaline has two 1394 connectors. The 6-pin connector is used to connect the Avid Adrenaline to the system. The 4-pin connector is used for connecting cameras, decks or other video devices for input or output. For connector locations see, “SD Video I/O Board Connectors” on page 11. n n Macintosh systems more commonly use the term FireWire, where Windows systems use the IEEE term of 1394. The multiple FireWire connectors on Macintosh systems are on the same bus. You must install a separate 1394 board in Macintosh and Windows systems if you want to attach 1394 drives. Cable The IEEE 1394 cabling standard requires that IEEE 1394 (FireWire) devices be within 14.76 ft (4.5 m) of the next bus connector. When connecting a FireWire device (drive, camera, or deck), 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 connection and the Avid Adrenaline or the Avid Mojo™. If the Avid editing system does not sense a direct connection to the Avid Adrenaline or the Avid Mojo, the Avid product enters a nonoperating mode. Devices 1394 (FireWire) decks and cameras that are connected to the Avid Adrenaline must be turned on after the Avid Adrenaline. Avid recommends you turn on your Avid editing system and start the Avid editing application as follows: To turn on an Avid editing system with a FireWire device: 1. Turn on the system. 2. Turn on the Avid Adrenaline. 3. Turn on the 1394 (FireWire) device. 16 Connecting Peripheral Equipment n Although some devices appear to be turned off, they can still send data over the 1394 bus. Many support a standby mode. To ensure the device is off, disconnect the power cord. 4. Start the Avid editing application. n To capture, play, or perform a digital cut with DV 50 or DVCPRO HD media, you need to capture using a separate 1394 (FireWire) port. For more information, see “Capturing DV 50 and DVCPRO HD Media Directly from a DV Device” in the Help. Connecting Peripheral Equipment There are several possible cabling configurations depending on your camera, video deck, and client monitor. The audio and video output signals are available to each output connector at the same time. Industry-standard video and audio cables are not included with the Avid Adrenaline. The following sections describe several possible connections: • Connecting a Video Deck — Component Signal • Connecting a Video Deck — Composite Signal • Connecting a Video Deck — Serial Digital Signal • Connecting S-Video or DV Signals • Connecting Audio Signals • Connecting a Client Monitor Connecting a Video Deck — Component Signal A component video deck connection requires the following: • Two component video cables with three BNC connectors at both ends • A video deck with component inputs and outputs To connect a deck using component signals: 1.

See the documentation provided with your deck. Storage You have several storage options, including SCSI, Fibre Channel, 1394, and Ethernet. To use all the resolutions available in your Avid editing application, you might need to configure and stripe your drives. Storage options are explained in the following sections. SCSI Support Avid has qualified the two SCSI channels on the rear of the xw8000 system (see “HP xw8000 System Slot Configuration and Connections” on page 29). The channels connect to a dual U320 chip on the system board. You can use the two SCSI connectors at the rear of the system and a Fibre Channel board in the xw8000 system at the same time. Avid supports the ATTO SCSI UL3D/160 LVD board in the G4 system and the G5 system. Additional boards might be supported at a later date. You can use a SCSI board and a Fibre Channel board at the same time in the G4 system or the G5 system. Documentation for connecting storage devices is included with the devices on a CD-ROM if they are purchased from Avid. Striping information can be found on the Avid Knowledge Base. n Contact your Avid Sales and Product information line at 800-949-2843 for the latest storage product information. 41 Using the Avid Adrenaline Fibre Channel Support Avid provides support for local storage or Avid Unity MediaNetwork using the following Fibre Channel boards in the xw8000 system, G4 system, and G5 system: • ATTO 2-Gb optical Fibre Channel (Model 3300, single channel) • ATTO 2-Gb copper Fibre Channel (Model 3305, single channel) 1394 Support When you are using an Avid Adrenaline and you want to use 1394 (FireWire) drives, you need a second 1394 OHCI board on a different bus segment in your Avid editing system. See your computer manufacturer’s documentation to identify a PCI bus slot that is on a different bus segment than the 1394 port used for the Avid Adrenaline. n If you use a 1394 board in slots 3, 4, or 5 (PCI-X slots) in the xw8000 it must be a “universal” PCI card and not a +5V-only board. To determine the supported 1394 boards, go to www.Avid.com. Click your product line (for example, Broadcast or Video Editing) and then click your Avid application. n At this time, Avid has not qualified a FireWire 800 (or 1394b) drive to be used with Avid Adrenaline systems. For the latest qualified storage products, contact your local Avid Reseller or call the Avid Sales and Product information line at 800-949-2843 for the latest information about available drives. Ethernet Support At this time only the Alacritech® 1-Gb board is supported. For supported devices and configurations, go to www.Avid.com. Click your product line (for example, Broadcast or Video Editing) and then click your Avid application. n 42 You cannot use the built-in 1394 connection and the built-in 1-Gb Ethernet for a Avid LANshare EX connection in the xw8000 system at the same time. Storage Formatting and Striping MediaDrives (Windows) To use all the resolutions available in your Avid editing application, you might need to stripe your MediaDrives. Disk drives must be configured as Dynamic if you are striping drives. To configure and stripe a drive: 1. Start your system, and log in to an account with administrative privileges. 2. Right-click the My Computer icon, and select Manage. The Computer Management window opens. 3. Click the Disk Management folder. n For more information on the Computer Management window, click the Help icon in the toolbar of the Computer Management window. 4. Make a drive Dynamic by right-clicking the disk ID section of the disk in the Computer Management window and selecting Upgrade to Dynamic disk, or Create Dynamic disk, depending upon the status of your disk. When you select a disk in the Computer Management window, the white section of the disk changes to stripes, showing that the section has been selected. 5. Repeat step 4 for each drive you want to stripe. 6. Right-click one of the Dynamic drives and select Action > Create Volume. 7. Follow the instructions in the Create Volume Wizard to finish striping the drives using NTFS format. Formatting and Striping MediaDrives (Macintosh) To use all the resolutions available in your Avid editing system, use the ATTO ExpressStripe software to stripe drives on the Mac OS® X operating system. The ExpressStripe software is installed in the following location: /Applications/ExpressStripe The instructions for using the software are in a PDF file, Expressstripe.pdf, that is installed along with the ExpressStripe application. n You must be logged in as an Administrator to stripe drives. 43 Using the Avid Adrenaline c Do not use the Apple Disk Utility application (in Applications/Utilities) to stripe drives. If you use the Disk Utility application, you will not be able to view the drives on the Mac OS 9 system. Additionally, Avid’s drive filtering feature will not function properly, resulting in poor performance. There are certain considerations when using striped drives on different Macintosh operating systems and when moving striped drives. Using Striped Drives on Mac OS X and Mac OS 9.x Systems The Avid editing software automatically recognizes drives that were striped on Mac OS 9.x. You should be able to use these drives to edit and play video. However, if you move a drive that was striped on a Mac OS X system back to Mac OS 9.x, you cannot play video from the drives on Mac OS 9.x. If necessary, you can set up your Mac OS 9.x system so that it recognizes the drives. You can then copy media files from the drive to your Mac OS 9.x drives. To set up a Mac OS 9.x system to recognize drives that were striped on a Mac OS X system: 1. Navigate to the following folder: Applications/Avid Goodies/OS 9/System Folder/Extensions 2. Copy the file ~~ExpressStripe_OS9_Enablr to the Extensions folder on your Mac OS 9 system. 3. Restart the Mac OS 9 system. The system is now able to recognize the striped drives. You can use the drives to copy media onto your Mac OS 9 drives. c 44 Do not run a Mac OS 9 Avid editing application on the same system as a Mac OS X Avid editing system. There might be conflicts between the system files used by the two applications. Storage Moving Striped Drives to Another System (Macintosh Only) In order to move striped drives to another system, you need to be able to identify the drives that make up a particular striped set. This was easy on Mac OS 9 because the system allowed you to use the SCSI ID order when striping drives. On Mac OS X, the system does not use the SCSI ID but instead uses its internal diskn name (where n is the drive number) when creating the striped sets. You can use Avid Storage Manager or ExpressStripe to identify a striped set on Mac OS X. To use Avid Storage Manager to identify a striped set: 1. Start the Avid Storage Manager application and select View > Volumes. 2. Select the striped volume you wish to move and click Identify. The system blinks the lights on the front of the drives that make up the volume. To use ExpressStripe to identify a striped set: 1. Start the ExpressStripe application. 2. In the opening dialog boxes, select Utilities and then select Benchmark. 3. Select the striped volume you want to move and click Start. The system runs the benchmark test on the volume and shows activity on the front of the drives that make up the volume. 45 Using the Avid Adrenaline Specifications The following sections provide specifications for the Avid Adrenaline. Dimensions and Weight The following table shows the dimensions and weight for the Avid Adrenaline enclosure. Dimensions and Weight Dimension Avid Adrenaline Width 17.5 in (445 mm) Height 5.25 in (132 mm) Depth 16.8 in (422 mm) Weight 29.0 lb (13.2 kg) Environmental Specifications The following table shows the environmental specifications for the Avid Adrenaline enclosure. In general, you should prepare a site that is clean and dust free. In addition: 46 • Select a location free from significant temperature or humidity changes. A location with approximately 40 percent humidity can prevent problems stemming from electrostatic discharge. • Select a location where there is adequate space in front of and behind the system components. You must be able to connect cables and service the parts of your system; they also need adequate airflow for cooling. Specifications Environmental Specifications Environment Specification Operating temperature 50°F to 95°F (10°C to 35°C) Operating humidity 5% to 95% noncondensing Storage temperature –40°F to 117°F (–40°C to 47°C) Storage humidity 5% to 95% noncondensing Electrical Specifications The following table shows electrical specifications for the Avid Adrenaline enclosure. Select your site with these electrical requirements in mind: • Make sure there are adequate power outlets for the Avid Adrenaline. This prevents the need for extension cords. • Make sure your site is away from major electrical equipment such as motors, air conditioners, or elevators. • Make sure the location is not subject to static electrical buildup. • Plug only the Avid Adrenaline and other system equipment into the power strip. Do not plug in coffee makers, radios, lights, or other non-Avid devices. Avid recommends the use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) appropriately sized for your system configuration. The UPS provides system protection against sudden power surges or losses that could cause you to lose your work.
