3.5 MTPC BOARD
3.5.1 INTRODUCTION
The function of the PC board is mainly the control of the Video hardware and to
interface the peripheral equipment (i.e. remote controller) with the Video
hardware.
One type of MTPC board can be used:
• Revision A2/A4 with COMMEL HS870 motherboard.
In standard configuration the PC hardware is composed by:
• One mounting PC board, with serial ports, LTC reader and generator, is
controlled by the motherboard.
• IDE System Hard disk: the IDE disk drive is used for storing the EVS software
and the DOS operating system. Neither audio nor video data is saved on this
disk. The capacity of this drive may vary depending on market availability, but
the system partition is always set to 1GB. The remaining capacity of this drive
is not used.
• 64/128MB SDRAM modified. The SDRAM used has been modified to suit the
system requirements. Please contact EVS support for RAMs upgrade. Do not
use standard PC RAM modules.
