9 SYSTEM INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS 1. Due to USB 2.0 bus length limitations the GDC56 should utilize a USB cable run of no longer than 14 feet. 2. The GDC56 should be mounted in a temperature controlled, pressurized environment. 10 OPERATION 10.1 Block Diagram Ω Ω Ω FIGURE 1. Block Diagram 10.2 Troubleshooting The GDC56 captures a video input and digitizes it into a USB data stream that can be utilized by software on a computer for displaying and/or storing the video image. The GDC56 consists of a power supply, a video to USB converter, and a video buffer/splitter. If the video computer system recognizes the GDC56, but does not display any video, then the problem will likely be with the video source, or the 28Vdc power to the GDC56. Page 10 of 19
If the video computer system does not recognize the GDC56, then the problem is most likely due to a USB failure (either a software conflict or a problem with the USB wiring between the GDC56 and the video computer). 11 REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT 11.1 GDC56 Removal 1. Power down the video computer for the GDC56 system and open the circuit breaker to the GDC56. 2. Remove the D-Subminiature connectors by sliding latch to unlock and pulling connectors free. 3. Remove four (4) #8 screws in mounting holes. 11.2 GDC56 Replacement 1. Open the circuit breaker powering the GDC56 system. 2. Install four (4) #8 screws in mounting holes. 3. Replace the D-Subminiature connectors by mating, then sliding latch to lock. 4. Close the circuit breaker. 5. Perform operational test of the GDC56 per the computer operation guidelines (see Appendix A for an example check out procedure). Page 11 of 19

17 APPENDIX A. SOFTWARE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 17.1 Software Installation The GDC56 requires unique software to be installed on the video computer. This software allows the computer to access the GDC56 via a USB port, and allows the video captured by the GDC56 to be displayed on the computer screen and/or stored to the video computer storage media. The computer system must meet the following minimum requirements: A PC with USB 2.0 compatible port PIII- 1.1GHz or above 128MB of RAM (256MB preferred) Windows XP/2000 for USB2.0 DirectX 9.0c or later Windows XP Service Pack 1 (Service Pack 2 Preferred) or Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 DAC software P/N 1090-5100-0010 contains the software files required for installation. If necessary, copy all of the software files included in 1090-5100-0010 to an appropriate media component (i.e., a USB memory stick) and install the media in the target PC. If the installer screen does not automatically appear within 10 seconds, open the installed media component on the PC and execute the autorun.exe file to start the installer, then follow the on-screen instructions. Once complete, remove the media component and re-start the video computer. 17.2 GDC56 Checkout With the GDC56 installed and connected to the video computer, apply power to the video computer (be sure that there is a video source active into the GDC56) and wait for the boot processes to complete. Next, go to the video computer start menu, then locate and execute the Videology software. If the desired video appears, then the software and hardware are functioning properly. Page 19 of 19
