Chapter 1 Introduction

General

The HDR 203HD is a ruggedized version of the model SR-W5U W-VHS tape recorder from JVC Professional Products. The HDR 203HD works in conjunction with the Videolink HD, a bi-directional RGB to HDTV scan converter.

The ruggedized model offers the following features and upgrades:

•All metal chassis

•BNC locking connectors on all inputs and outputs

•RS-232 port

•Shock mounting

•220 volt AC option

•Internal stiffening

•Rackmounts

For a complete understanding of this recording system, this manual should be consid- ered in conjunction with the User Manual for the Videolink HD.

Shock Mounts

Two types of shock mounting are offered:

•for shipboard and airborne applications

•for land-based applications

The difference between these two shock mounting options is that for land-based applica- tions they are stiffer. There is no visual difference between the two.

Rack Mounts

The standard rackmount components supplied with the HDR 203HD includes slides suit- able for a 20" deep rack. The front screw holes of the slide and front panel of the HDR 203HD are designed to work with a compound style mount. That is, a rack equipped with double vertical mount bars, providing two sets of front screw holes.

Extenders and mounting adapters can be ordered to custom fit the rackmount to a partic- ular rack size and style.
