MAJOR OPERATING CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTION
JOG BOARD
1. ISA connector
This connector is used to connect the personal comput-
er.
2. Interrupt number (IRQ) setting jumper (Pg)
Set the interrupt number (IRQ) where the jumper pin is
inserted.
3. I/O port setting jumper (P12)
Set the I/O address where the jumper pin is inserted.
4. RS422 control connector 1 (RS422-1)
This connector is used to connect a device that can be
controlled through a RS422 interface via the special
cable (accessory). This connection can be used to con-
trol recording and playback on a VTR.
5.RS422 control connector 2 (RS422-2)
This connector is used to connect a device that can be
controlled through a RS422 interface via the special
cable (accessory). This connection ca be used to con-
trol recording and playback on a VTR.
6. JOGPAD connector (JOGPAD)
This connection is used to connect a JOGPAD via the
special cable (accessory).
7. Time code, reference input/output connector
(LTC/REF)
This connector is used to connect, via the special time
code and reference I/O cable (accessory), with the time
code input and output on a VTR, etc., and with equip-
ment that inputs an external signal for synched compos-
ites (horizontal sync only).
• Time code input and output
This connector is used to connect with the time code
input and output on a VTR, etc. Make this connection
only if the VTR has a time code signal (LTC) output.
The time code output is not a loop-through of the signal
that was input on the time code input.
Ver. 1.0 software does not support time code input and
output.
• Reference input and output
This connector is used to connect with equipment that
inputs an external sync signal. Be sure to input the ref-
erence signal so as to maintain the frame precision. If a
reference signal is not input, video, audio, ant time code
synchronization, and time code I/O operation, cannot be
guaranteed. The reference code output is a loop-
through of the signal that was input on the reference
input.
8.Reference I/O 75-ohm terminator switch
No function.
When not using the REF OUT signal, turn off the switch
and connect the termination (accessory) to the REF
OUT cable.

BOARD SETUP
Install the boards in the computer.
There are three boards to be installed.
1. Video compression board (TARGA200DV board)
2. SCSI board
3. JOG board [AY-RP500 board (JOG board)]
Preparation
1.Turn off the computer.
2.Open the case of the computer. For details on how to do so, refer to the instruction manual that was provided with the computer.
3.Confirm which PCI slot (the white connector on the motherboard) the video card is installed in. If the video card is already in the
PCI slot that is the farthest from the CPU, you do not need to move the video card.
4.In all other cases, move the video card according to the procedure described in steps 5 through 8 below.
5.Remove the screws that secure the cover for the PCI slot that is farthest from the PCI, and then remove that cover.
6.Remove the screws that secure the cover for the video card, and then remove the video card.
7.Plug the video card into the PCI slot that is farthest from the PCI, and secure the cover in place with the screws.
8.Store the screws and cover that were removed in a safe place.

BIOS setup
1.This procedure sets up the motherboard BIOS.
2.Open the BIOS setup screen. (The method of calling up
the BIOS setting screen varies depending on the
computer. Refer to the user's manual of the computer.)
3.Set "Plug & Play OS" to "OFF". (The setting on your
computer system may be "Disable" or "No".)
4.Set Power Management to "OFF". (This may be "Disable"
or "No".)
5.Save the settings, and quit the BIOS setup screen. The
computer starts up automatically.
6.Once the computer has started up, confirm that it is
operating normally; then quit WindowsNT and turn off the
computer.
Insert the main board into
the grooves in the rail
guides on the board spacer.

on the board spacer.
Installing the Vide Compression board
(TARGA2000DV board)
Note that due to structural differences, the installation
location may differ depending on the model of computer
used.
1.Remove the cover for the PCI slot (the white connector on
the motherboard) that is closest to the CPU.
Note: The construction of some computers does not
physically allow the TARGA2000DV board to be
plugged into the PCI slot that is closest to the CPU. If
this is the case with your computer, remove the cover
for the adjacent PCI slot.
2.Carefully remove the TARGA200DV board from its anti-
static protective pack. If you need to set the board down,
place it on top of this pack.
3.Attach the board spacer to the main board (the longest
board) among the TARGA2000DV boards. (Refer to the
diagram below.)

4.Plug the TARGA2000DV board into the PCI slot that is
closest to the CPU (or the next closest slot, if the board
will not physically fit into the closest slot). Here, firmly
mount the board spacer between the guide rails on the
personal computer. The assembly diagram shown below
is intended as an example. The actual connection
locations may differ depending on the model of computer
used.
5.Connect the CA206 cable that was provided with the
TARGA2000DV board. Plug the connector labelled
"TARGA2000DV" into the connector on the
TARGA2000DV board, plug the connector labelled "VGA"
into the connector on the video card, and connect the
connector labelled "MONITOR" to the monitor cable.

Connect the ground wire of the video compression board (board
spacer) to the chassis (metal portion) of the system unit. (Unscrew
the screw and then use it to secure the wire in place.)
6.Store the screws and cover that were removed in a safe
place.
7.Turn the power on and start up WindowsNT.
