Connect rack mount brackets

All Pro Recorders include rack mount brackets. Before you connect the Pro Recorder hardware, you should connect the brackets and put the Recorder into a rack. The brackets connect to the sides of the Recorder and are placed towards either the front or the back of the system.

To connect the rack mount brackets:

1.  Remove the screws from the side on the system where the bracket will be attached.

2.  Line the bracket up with the holes and connect it to the system using the included flat-head screws.

3.  Repeat steps 1-2 on the other side of the system.

 A rail mount kit is available as a separate add-on. Contact your Sonic Foundry sales representative for more details.

 

Theft protection

To prevent theft, all Recorders are equipped with a slot that is compatible with Kensington® security slots. A cable harness locks the Pro Recorder to a table or to a rack.  Sonic Foundry does not provide the Kensington lock or cable.

Connect Recorder

Before you can record presentations on the Recorder, you must connect the audio, video, and slide sources.  You can also connect equipment to the output ports to monitor your outputs. You will connect peripheral devices to your Recorder to connect to the network and power source, secure the Recorder, and optionally add a keyboard and mouse.

Connect audio, video, and slide sources

Connect audio, video, and image (slide) sources to the appropriate ports on your Recorder.

 

Input ports

Instructions

I-1. Line in [Microphone] Port (Unbalanced stereo line-level input)

Connect the RCA audio adapter (RCA to 3.5mm) to the port. Then connect the audio source, directly or through AV equipment, to the RCA audio adapter. 

I-2. HDMI/DVI/RGB/YPbPr Port

Connect a video or slide source to the appropriate adapter (if needed) and then to this port.

You can connect video sources directly or through AV equipment.

•      DVI-I source: Connect the source using a DVI cable.

•      VGA (analog) source: Connect the slide source using a RGB (VGA) to DVI-I adapter and DVI cable.

•      HDMI source: Connect the slide source using an HDMI to DVI-I adapter and DVI cable.

•      Component source: Connect the slide source using an YPbPr (Component) to DVI-I adapter and DVI cable.

  If you are using embedded HDMI audio with the HD video source, no additional audio source is required.

1-3. S-Video/Composite Port

Connect the SD (S-Video or Composite) video source, directly or through AV equipment, to this port. When you are using Composite, you must connect the Composite to S-Video adapter first.

I-4. HD-SDI Input Port

Connect an HD-SDI or 3G-SDI video source, directly or through AV equipment to the HD-SDI Input Port using an SDI cable rated for HD use.

  If you are using embedded SDI audio with the SDI/HD-SDI/3G-SDI video source, no additional audio source is required.

I-5. HDMI Port

Connect the video source, directly or through AV equipment to the HDMI Port using an HDMI cable.

  If you are using embedded HDMI audio with the HD video source, no additional audio source is required.
