System Components
Video Processor Power Supply
The Zodiak Video Processor frame houses up to three slide-in modules
rated at 400 watts each.
(
). Two hot-swappable power
supply modules (primary and redundant) are standard with the 2.5-M/E
system, and three power supply modules are standard with the 3-M/E
system.
The power supplies load share such that a supply can fail and the Video
Processor frame will continue to operate on the other supply/supplies.
It is recommended that each module’s AC input be connected to a separate
AC supply circuit. Any module(s) for which a separate supply circuit is not
available can be connected to an uninterrupted power supply (UPS).
