System Overview
Boards in PCI Slots
The following sections explain the functions of each peripheral board
located in an internal PCI slot.
Meridien III-U Digital Media Board Set
The Meridien III-U digital media board set is a PCI board and a
Meridien II-U daughter board that provides a PCI interface for direct
memory access (DMA) on the system, Ultimatte
®
keying, Pan and
Scan resizer, deep defocus, RT Multicam, compression and
decompression functions, color correction circuitry, and the use of 24p
controlled by the dongle. The board set also interfaces the 3D DVE
effects board, and acts as an interface to the Meridien I/O box.
Flex Circuit
The new flexible (flex) circuit connects the Meridien III-U digital
media board set to the 3D DVE effects board as an over-the-top
connection. The flex circuit is not needed when you upgrade an
existing Meridien II system to a Meridien III-U system in the IBM 6889
system (you can use the hard, over-the-top connector as you did with
the Meridien II system).
Meridien III Digital Media Board Set
The Meridien III digital media board set is a PCI board and a
Meridien III daughter board that provides a PCI interface for direct
memory access (DMA) on the system, compression and
decompression functions, color correction circuitry, and the use of 24p
controlled by the dongle. The board set also interfaces the 3D DVE
effects board, and acts as an interface to the Meridien I/O box.
Depending upon the system you order, the daughter board can also
provide deep defocus and RT Multicam functions.
