2Introduction
System Before we begin, here is an overview of the D/ESAM 8000 system. The
D/ESAM 8000 consists of three units: the CPU controller, the Vadis audio
chassis and the mixer control panel.

System Interconnection
Basic Connections The following is a list of connections you must make to the D/ESAM 8000
system before booting up. Some of these connections are given greater
detail following this checklist.
Basic Connections Checklist:
oConnect power to all 3 components in the system: control panel,
Vadis audio frame and controller chassis.
oConnect the control panel to the left Ethernet port on the back of the
CPU controller chassis using the longer standard Category 5, RJ45
Ethernet cable provided.
NOTE: If you are connecting the control panel to an Ethernet hub, use
the crossover Ethernet cable and coupler provided.
oConnect the Vadis audio frame to the right Ethernet port on the back
of the CPU controller chassis using the shorter standard Ethernet cable
provided.
oConnect your audio sources to the proper audio inputs on the Vadis
audio frame.
These inputs will vary depending on your system configuration. For
specific input connections information refer to the section covering
audio inputs later in this manual.
oConnect your audio outputs to the proper audio outputs on the Vadis
audio frame.
These outputs will vary depending on your system configuration. For
specific output connections information refer to the section covering
audio outputs later in this manual.
oConnect a mouse, keyboard and VGA-compatible monitor to the CPU
controller chassis.
NOTE: These are not included with the D/ESAM 8000 system.
oConnect the edit controller to the 9-pin female D-connector on the rear
of the CPU controller chassis.
oConnect video reference to the jack labeled WCLK1 located on the left
side of the back of the Vadis chassis.
oUsing the BNC to DB9 cable provided, connect one end to the male 9-
pin D-connector on the rear of the CPU chassis and the other end to

the jack labeled WCLK2 located on the left side of the back of the
Vadis chassis.
Ethernet Connections
There are 2 Ethernet connections in the D/ESAM 8000 system: one for the
Vadis audio frame and one for the control panel.
The Vadis Ethernet connection is made using the shorter, Cat-5 standard
Ethernet cable provided. If the link light next to the Ethernet connector on the
Vadis frame continues to flash (indicating no connection) then the crossover
switch on the Vadis frame may be set incorrectly. Try the other position.
The control panel can be connected in two different ways: direct or via an
Ethernet hub. The following is a diagram of the direct Ethernet connection:

System Interconnection 7
The D/ESAM 8000 control panel and CPU chassis can also be connected to an
Ethernet network using an Ethernet hub. The following is a diagram of a
connection to an Ethernet hub:

8System Interconnection
Sync/Reference Connection
In order to properly connect video reference to the Vadis audio frame, please
follow the steps below.
1. Connect the video reference input to the jack labeled WCLK1 on the back
of the Vadis chassis.
2. Using the special cable provided, connect the video reference output to
the jack labeled WCLK2 on the back of the Vadis chassis.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the 9-pin D-connector on the back
of the CPU controller chassis.
RS-422 Editor Remote Connection
The drawing below illustrates where to connect an edit system to the D/ESAM
8000.

Audio Inputs
The D/ESAM 8000 configuration varies depending on your requirements. This
section will outline the basic connections of the audio input cards offered by
Graham-Patten Systems for the D/ESAM 8000.
The following is a list of the audio input cards offered and notes about them.
Format # of Inputs Notes (see below)
SDI 8 1
AES 16 2,3
Analog 8
Notes:
1. Jumper on card to allow 4 inputs / connector or all 8 on top connector.
This can also be changed in the desam.cfg file on the CPU controller
chassis. Instructions can be found in the file.
2. Jumper on card to allow 75 or 100 ohm input.
3. The AES input card accepts 8 stereo pairs for a total of 16 discrete
channels.
SDI Input
NOTE: The DEMUX mode of the SDI input card can also be changed in the
desam.cfg file on the CPU controller chassis. Instructions can be found
in the file.

The following is a list of the audio output cards offered and notes about them.
Format # of Outputs Notes (see below)
AES 16 1,2
Analog 8 3
Notes:
1. Jumper on card to allow 75 or 100 ohm output.
2. The AES output card allows 8 stereo pairs for a total of 16 discrete
channels. Program output on the top connector and monitor output on the
bottom connector. However, this can be changed in the desam.cfg file.
Instructions can be found in the file.
3. The analog card on the left handles the program output. The analog card
on the right is the monitor output of the mixer. However, this can be
changed in the desam.cfg file so that the left card is configured as meter
outputs. Instructions can be found in the file.
