LABvault-SD
About This Manual
Page 1 2018-06-08
Thank you for purchasing a LABvault-SD digital video player/recorder. With the LABvault-SD, anyone
can easily create and display industry standard MPEG-2 les with very little training. The LABvault-
SD includes a Web interface that can be used to operate the LABvault-SD’s record, playback, and
transfer features from any location while also providing administrative options for setting up le
transfer destinations, changing recording quality presets, managing les on the LABvault’s internal
hard drive, and accessing the system’s log les.
One of the most powerful features of the LABvault-SD is its ability to be controlled by a wide variety
of external sources. The most popular control interfaces include Crestron®and AMX®touch screen
technology, giving users an intuitive and simple way to record a video source, display the resulting
digital le on a connected television monitor, and then transfer the le to one or more destinations.
The LABvault-SD accommodates a variety of playback and storage destinations. For instance, users
may send les to an archive server and then later download the les to view on a PC, burn to a DVD,
or drag into an editing system timeline. Further options include sending each digital le from the
LABvault-SD to a LEIGHTRONIX NEXUS series server/controller (UltraNEXUS-SDI, UltraNEXUS, or
NEXUS) for scheduled or immediate broadcasting. The LABvault-SD can also be integrated with a
LEIGHTRONIX streaming video-on-demand application like the PEG Central Web service, with the
option to host les on the PEG Central web servers or in-house on an LGX-SVOD server.

KEYPAD
The four LABvault-SD arrow keys are used to display status information as well as for the entry of TCP/IP network
addresses. If you hold down an arrow key for more than one second, it begins to scroll through all of the available
options. Release the key when the desired option is displayed.
The front panel keypad also turns the LABvault-SD on/off. Note that the LABvault-SD automatically turns on when the
unit is plugged in. When held for four seconds, the red “X” button turns off
the LABvault-SD. If the LABvault-SD has been turned off, press the green
check push button for two seconds to turn the unit back on.
LEDS
The LABvault-SD front panel has two status, light-emitting diodes (LEDs)
for at-a-glance feedback. The red “Record” LED lights up when the LABvault-SD is encoding. The blue “Play” LED
lights up when playback on the LABvault is activated.
DISPLAY
The LABvault-SD display shows status and password-protected TCP/IP address entry screens. Once the LABvault-
SD has been booted up, press the up or down arrows on the keypad to display the following status screens:

There are two versions of the LABvault-SD, which have different back panels, supported network connectivity speeds,
and internal hard drive sizes. The original LABvault-SD, no longer available, has a back panel matching the rst of the
pictures shown below, supports 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet, and has a 120 GB internal hard drive. The current LABvault-SD
model, version 2, has a back panel matching the second picture below, supports 10/100/1000 or gigabit BASE-T Ethernet,
and has a 250 GB internal hard drive.

SYSTEM INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE LABVAULT-SD
While installing the LABvault-SD, refer to the labeled back panel on page page 4 that matches your LABvault-
SD’s back panel. Perform the following installation steps:
1. The LABvault-SD may be left as a standalone, tabletop unit or mounted into a rack as follows:
a. Insert the LABvault-SD into the rack, aligning the holes of the unit’s mounting bracket with those of the rack.
b. Secure the LABvault-SD to the rack with user-supplied rack screws.
2. Connect the included power cable to the LABvault-SD’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-SD Ethernet port to a hub or switch on your
TCP/IP network. The original LABvault-SD supports 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet, while version 2 of the LABvault-SD
supports 10/100/1000 (gigabit Ethernet). To check your network connection, look at the Ethernet LEDs above the
Ethernet port and compare to the table below that corresponds to your LABvault-SD’s back panel.
4. Connect your video/audio signal wiring to the LABvault-SD as follows:
a. Video/Audio Source: this is the resource or signal the LABvault-SD will record. Connect your video source
wiring to the LABvault-SD’s BNC video input and stereo RCA audio inputs.
b. Video/Audio Destination: connect a television monitor to the LABvault-SD’s BNC video output and stereo RCA
audio outputs to review your recorded digital les. The LABvault-SD supports simultaneous playback and
recording, allowing you to watch other les during recording.
5. If your external control system has not been congured for network connectivity and supports RS-232
communication, connect the control system (such as AMX or Crestron touch screen) directly to the LABvault’s RS-
232 control port. For LABvault control protocol details, refer to the “CONTROL COMMANDS” on page 26.

spaces). If you use the same lename for more than one recording session, the record date and start time will be

seconds).

• “Automatic Delete”: if you want your recorded les deleted from the LABvault’s internal hard drive after each
transfer, select the “Enable” “Automatic Delete” option. The “Disable” option will cause your recorded les to stay
on the hard drive until you manually delete them from the “File Management” screen (click the “Files” button).
NOTES: • If no destinations are enabled, the LABvault-SD will record and store your les on its
internal hard drive. Refer to “Managing Files” on page 20 for instructions on transferring
