Additional Peripheral Boards
In addition to the video boards, a system must include
¥ The Pro Tools board (also referred to as the sound accelerator or
SA4 board) for processing audio.
¥ The SiliconExpress board, which assists with media storage and
retrieval.
- Version IV (single-ended SCSI) is for connecting fewer drives
closer to the Avid Media Processor.
- Version 4D (differential SCSI) is for connecting more drives
farther from the Avid Media Processor.
The Hurdler 4-port serial I/O expansion board might be included for
additional serial ports for AirPlay MP. Use the boardÕs four serial ports
to connect the Avid Media Processor to additional serial devices (for
example, a modem or serial printer).
NuBus Slot Configurations
The Avid Media Processor has six expansion slots designed to accept
NuBus peripheral boards. Avid preconÞgures the Avid Media
Processor with the appropriate peripheral boards to support the
application.
The Avid Media Processor has six available NuBus slots:
¥ Four addressable superslots
¥ Two regular slots
Although the Avid Media Processor comes preconÞgured from Avid,
there are certain slot requirements you need to follow when installing
additional peripheral boards.
