IntroductionThe P5000 and P4000 belong to the Polistream product range and are robust 1U rack mounting, highperformance processing platforms specifically designed for use within a Polistream subtitling system.

The P5000 is typically used as the Polistream subtitling system central server, running the ConfigurationManager software. The P5000 has front panel mounted removable media drives (CDROM and 3.5infloppy), and an ISDN adaptor for dial-up remote diagnosis, configuration and monitoring.

The P4000 is typically used as a processing platform within a Polistream subtitling system running thePolistream Program Manager and various Polistream Configurable Software modules.

The P4000 may have additional (PCI card based) hardware options fitted to support various interfacingrequirements, these are:

VITC / LTC time code input card DVITC (SDI) time code input card Serial port expansion card (two additional com ports) GPIO (general purpose input / output) card

In addition, the P4000 has a rear panel mounted connector for an optional external floppy drive (for configuration purposes).

Both processing platforms are based on proven and standard PC architecture and operating systems. Thisensures the highest performance is achieved with the greatest degree of flexibility in configuration and use.

The P5000 and P4000 processing platforms are connected to the Polistream system using a standard10/100baseT Ethernet network. It is recommended that Ethernet switches (not simple Ethernet hubs) areused where required.

There are no user configurable switches, links or front panel controls (with the exception of a soft power push-button switch), and all P5000 and P4000 configuration and operation is done (either locally or remotely) via Ethernet from controlling client applications.

The front panels of the P5000 and P4000 are fitted with unit status LED indicators, and Ethernet portstatus LED indicators are fitted to the rear panel RJ45 connector.

This manual covers the installation requirements of both the P5000 and P4000 processing platforms, as well as providing information on unit and system configuration and connection.

OperationOnce a P5000 or P4000 processing platform has been correctly installed with respect to the contents of this installation manual, the operation of the unit is controlled entirely by the various Polistreamapplications.

Installation

Siting requirements

Physical

Mounting: Standard 480mm (19in) rack bay. The processing platform is secured by four fixing screws through the front panel. It is recommended that the rear of the unit issupported to prevent damage to the front panel fixing lugs.

Vertical Space: 44mm 1U. No ventilation space is required above or below.

Rear space: The overall depth of the unit is 425mm. Adequate space should be allowed behindthe unit for connections to be made without imposing strain on the cables or connectors.

Air Flow: Forced air ventilation across the unit from right to left (viewed from front of unit).The ventilation slots on either side and the rear of the chassis, must not beobstructed in any way.

Electrical

The processing platform is fitted with an IEC mains connector.

Please note: There is no mains power switch fitted to the processing platform with the exception of the front panel mounted soft power push-button switch.

The internal power supply is an auto ranging unit, which can accept AC mains input voltages between 100and 240V (50/60Hz), with no user configuration or adjustment required. The power consumption is 84W(typically).

Warning: Do not remove the top cover while the unit is connected to the mains supply. There is arisk of lethal electric shock from internal components.

Environmental

There are no special environmental requirements, but the normal precautions regarding the operation of electrical equipment should be observed. In particular, ensure that the ambient operating temperature ismaintained within the limits of 0C to 30C at a relative humidity not exceeding 90% non-condensing.

Unit configuration All processing platform configuration is done (locally or remotely) via Ethernet (or ISDN ) using variousPolistream applications. There are no user configurable internal switches or links fitted.

TroubleshootingThe processing platforms are extremely reliable and stable, and will rarely need attention during their normal service life. However, in the event of an operational problem, it is advisable to check all associated

equipment and cabling. It is also worth restarting the unit by closing all open applications and cycling thepower to the platform using the soft power push-button switch.

The following guide may help identify possible causes to operational problems. However, if thesemeasures fail to locate the problem please contact your local dealer or Screen Subtitling Systems supportteam.

Observed problem Possible remedial action

Power On LED not lit. Check local power supply voltage and IEC connector at

the rear of the processing platform chassis.

HDD activity LED not lighting. HDD activity should occur during unit start up, cycle

power and observe LED for activity.

Network activity LED not lighting.

Check green Link LED to ensure unit is connected to theEthernet network correctly.

Check network connections to and from the Ethernetswitch.
