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.
