Chapter 2 Setting Up the Aurora Edit Workstation
Site Requirements
This section details site requirements for your Aurora Edit system.
Power Requirements
It is highly recommended that you use a surge protector and an uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) with your system. There must be a 20 A, 110 to 120 V alternating
current, 60 Hz or 10 A, 220 to 224 V alternating current, 50 Hz circuit breaker and an
isolated ground.
Storage upgrades may require additional electrical service. Consider the equipment
nameplate ratings and consult your Thomson Grass Valley representative.
The Aurora Edit system is designed to work with a single-phase (three-wire) power
cord with a grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electric shock, always
plug the cord into a powered off grounded power outlet.
For best performance, keep all system power connections on the same power feed
distribution panel. Do not connect any other equipment to the same outlet that is
powering the Aurora Edit equipment.
This table lists the power requirements for the system components.
Synchronization Requirements
You must have a stable video reference source to synchronize the system if you are
playing directly to air. The system needs no reference if the output is not required to
be genlocked.
