Installing the Avid Board Set
Installing the Genie Effects Board
The Genie effects board is available equipment on Avid Composer
products systems and specific versions of Avid Xpress systems.
Interconnection between the Genie effects board and the Meridien III
digital media daughter board is accomplished with a newly designed
flexible over-the-top connector.
To install the Genie effects board:
1. Ensure that the Meridien III digital media board set has been
assembled and installed in the system in the same way as the
Meridien III-U digital media board set (see Figure 4-4).
2. Install and secure the Genie effects board into the PCI slot
recommended in the product board configuration tables.
3. Orient the flexible over-the-top connector in the same way as was
done for the Mercedes effects board (see Figure 4-7), and then
carefully seat the flexible over-the-top connector into the daughter
board and Genie connectors. The device driver is installed when
the Avid editing product is installed.
