Avid System Cabling Guidelines
Please note the following guidelines when setting up the system.
¥ The conÞguration of the Avid Media Processor and the disks must
be maintained according to the standards described in this guide.
Rearranging disks without following the standards described in
this guide for SCSI cabling, IDs, and termination can cause the
system to malfunction.
¥ Do not use SCSI cables other than those supplied by Avid.
Avid SCSI cables provide proper impedance matching and deliver
the best performance for tested and qualiÞed Avid broadcast
system conÞgurations.
¥ The monitors should be within 25 feet (7.6 meters) of the Avid
Media Processor.
Greater distances degrade the images displayed on the monitors.
¥ The keyboard and mouse should be within 12 feet (3.6 meters) of
the Avid Media Processor.
The maximum distance is greater when the remote control and
GPI connectors on the broadcast panel are not used.
¥ The Pro Tools unit (audio interface and Video Slave Driver) must
be within 12 feet (3.6 meters) of the Avid Media Processor.
The Pro Tools unit provides the system audio interface to the
external user components. If the unit is located more than 12 feet
(3.6 meters) away from the Avid Media Processor, the
synchronization signal is delayed and will not operated properly.
¥ The V-LAN VLXi must be within 100 feet (30 meters) of the Avid
Media Processor and the decks. Avid supplies a 6 foot (1.83 meter)
cable.
This limit is imposed by RS-422 cable connections requirements.
¥ The AirPlay MP remote control must be within 10 feet (3 meters)
of the Avid Media Processor.
