2Introduction
2.1 Scope
This document covers the specifications, including interface control, usage
and maintenance of the following component:
SD208107A SCOTTY ProMin HD (AC) and variants
SD208194A SCOTTY ProMin HD DC and variants
The SCOTTY ProMin HD

2.2 System Overview
The SCOTTY ProMin HD delivers superior full high definition video and audio,
even over satellite or other challenging networks with bandwidth constraints
and high latency.
The system supports both common videoconference standards and SCOTTY
proprietary, highly optimized communication protocols. By providing bi-
directional low latency real time communication, unidirectional live video
streaming and video recording for store-and-forward applications, many
different application requirements can be fulfilled. Parallel data channels
enable bidirectional communication of supplementary data and also remote
control of cameras and other equipment.
The platform supports a wide range of video interfaces like Composite, HD-
SDI, HDMI, DVI, and VGA with resolutions of up to 1080p60. Highly adaptable
audio interfaces support a wide range of signal requirements. Flexible data
interfaces support various data sources and sinks to be integrated in the
communication system.
The platform also provides standard PC interfaces like DVI/HDMI, LAN and
USB. An internal solid state disk is used for the operating software and is
available for storage of user data. The SCOTTY ProMin HD is based on a PC
platform running Microsoft Windows. The proven SCOTTY Teleporter provides
a flexible, highly configurable user interface.
Excellent EMC characteristics allow employment in setups required to fulfill
Zone 1 –NATO SDIP 27 Class B (AMSG 788).
SCOTTY sees this platform as a building block for highly adapted, optimized
systems; selecting the required hardware and software modules will result in
optimized, small, light and low-power solutions.

3Operation
3.1 Status LEDs
Three LED’s on the front of the unit provide information on the system status.
SCOTTY ProMin HD front view
Pwr Power LED: indicates the power on state of the system.
Disk Disk LED: irregular flashing indicates internal solid state disk activity.
Net Network LED: indicates LAN activity.
Disk and LAN LED, two short flashes repeated once a second: the system
temperature violates the operational limits.
3.2 Starting the SCOTTY Communication Platform
If “Auto Start”is configured, the system starts automatically when power is
applied.
If “Manual Start” is configured, the unit starts when the front button is
pressed. Alternatively an external bower button may be used (see chapter
Other Inputs/Outputs).
The standard configuration is “Manual Start” for AC systems and “Auto Start” for DC
systems. Different configurations are available as order specified options.

3.3 Turning Off the System
The preferred way to power down the system is to close the software and to
shut down Windows; see the Software Manual for details.
The unit can also be turned off with the power button on the front of the unit
or an external power button (see previous chapter). Pushing the button will
gracefully shutdown Windows.
Holding the power button for more than four seconds will result in an
immediate power off without shutting down Windows first.
If the system is not shut down in the correct fashion, data-loss can occur.

4Installation
4.1 Mounting Instructions
The SCOTTY ProMin HD is a 19” Rack Unit with the height of 1RU.
Adhesive Bumpers are included with the SCOTTY ProMin HD and may be used
if the unit is placed e.g. on a desktop.
Please note that mounting screws or nuts are not part of the SCOTTY ProMin
HD unit.
The unit should be installed in a location compatible to its environmental
specifications; see the corresponding chapter.
An M4 grounding thread is available for additional grounding of the unit.
For mechanical details, see chapter Physical Specifications.

SCOTTY ProMin HD Equipment Manual

4.2 Cooling and Ventilation
The SCOTTY ProMin HD employs temperature controlled internal fans for air
circulation. Temperature monitoring turns off the unit if the system
temperature violates the operation limits.
The air inlet dust filter can be changed without tools during operation.
4.3 Electrical Installation
The SCOTTY ProMin HD gets connected with several interface connectors on
the rear side. An additional USB 3.0 connector is available on the front. For
details, see chapter Connectors and Pin-Outs.
The use of shielded cables is highly recommended. Use shielded twisted-pair
wiring for all balanced connections, and coax cables with the appropriate
impedance.
Before connecting the unit, make sure the power supply matches power
requirements (see chapter Power Requirements).
4.4 Software Configuration
To allow optimal operation, the software settings of the SCOTTY ProMin HD
need to match the electrical installation and the external equipment.
Therefore, especially the codec audio and video settings in the Config Utility
and in the Teleport application should be configured as required.
Please refer to the chapter Connectors and Pin-Outs for the signal labels
cross-referenced by software and hardware.
For configuration details, please refer to the Software Manual.

5Maintenance
5.1 Internal Battery Replacement
The system uses a standard lithium battery for the real time clock. In the
event of loss of battery power, the unit will remain functional with the
exception of the real time clock. This will result in the wrong date and time
stamp on each file created or modified.
Battery replacement is recommended after five years.
No tools are required to change the battery. The battery is accessible by
removing the hard disk cover plate.
Battery type: Renata CR2477N
Replace only with a battery of this type and from this manufacturer.

5.2 Fan Dust Filter Replacement
The system employs internal fans for air circulation. By removing the fan
cover the air inlet dust filter can be changed even during operation. No tools
are required.
Life cycle time of the filter pad may vary depending on the operating
environment. A replacement of the fan filter pad not later than 24 month is
recommended.
A proper filter pad can be ordered at SCOTTY:
Filter pad: P200 10mm, 36x130mm, part number: SD208306A1
5.3 Storage Disk Replacement
A solid state disk is used for the operating system, the applications and user
data. No maintenance is required, but if necessary the disk can be removed by
pulling out the disk holder. Only use SCOTTY approved disks as replacement.
