System Interconnection<br />
ESbus Cables<br />
The ESbus cables are terminated with a 15 pin plug and socket. The ES/2 modules have two ES<br />
buses, marked A and B on the rear panel.<br />
Interconnect each bus in a chain, i.e. bus output on one module connects to bus input on the next<br />
and so on. A controller would normally be connected at one end of the chain as the ESbus signals<br />
travel to the controller down its control cable, where they are usually terminated.<br />
ESbus Termination<br />
There may be various situations involving long bus cable runs where termination of the bus will be<br />
required, typically with large installations. If you seem to be having Communication problems, try<br />
terminating the bus on the ES/2 furthest from the controller, using an ESbus terminator. Two types<br />
are available, passive (AMD070) and active (AMD071). If in doubt, please contact your distributor<br />
or <strong>AMS</strong> <strong>Neve</strong> Customer Support Department.<br />
Machine Cables<br />
Connect each tape machine to the associated ES/2 module using the appropriate machine cable.<br />
Ensure that the power to the machine and the ES/2 are both off before connecting machine cables.<br />
Serially controlled machines do not require a timecode lead.<br />
AC Power<br />
The ES/2 has a universal input power supply.<br />
External Reference Input<br />
For any installation, you should ideally connect a video or frame reference signal to the Video<br />
Reference input of one ES/2. If Video Machines are to be used as slaves in the system this is<br />
essential, and the same Sync Reference must be connected to the External SYNC Input on each<br />
Video Machine.<br />
<br />
It is not essential to connect an external reference to every ES/2 module in the system. It<br />
should be connected to any ES/2 which is to be used as a “Timeline Master”.<br />
Installation Requirements<br />
The following installation requirements must be considered before connecting the ES/2 modules:<br />
The ambient temperature for the ES/2 must not exceed 35°C.<br />
Air flow to each module must not be restricted it is recommended that a 1U gap is left<br />
between each group of 3 ES/2 modules.<br />
If an air flow gap is left between every module, the cooling fan may be safely disconnected.<br />
For advice on fan disconnection please contact your distributor or <strong>AMS</strong> <strong>Neve</strong> Customer<br />
Support Department.<br />
