The Orad HDVG is designed and built to meet the specific needs
of the broadcast industry. The HDVG is a High Definition
(HD)/Standard Definition (SD) system, supporting all existing
HD formats. The HDVG can be configured as a HD system or as
a SD system. Additionally, the HDVG can initially be configured
in a SD configuration, and when upgrading to HD is considered,
the configuration changeover is smooth and easy.
The HDVG can be used in a cluster solution for scalable

performance of single or multiple displays.
The HDVG serves as the hardware backbone for the Orad range
of products. The HDVG relies on high-end Nvidia graphics
cards, which ensures that the HDVG is future-proof and
upgradeable.
The HDVG board is at the heart of the HDVG platform. It is a

highly programmable video board with a unique architecture
that provides the HDVG with much faster rendering capabilities
and processes than any other rendering platform available on
the market today.
When configured, the HDVG provides up to eight full resolution

video insertions, in HD or SD. The HDVG provides two digital
output channels. Additionally, an HDMI output is embedded
into the HDVG.
The HDVG is a compact, 3U platform that operates with a Linux

operating system and includes a dual power supply, which
enhances its reliability. The HDVG features a built-in broadcast-
quality chroma and linear key, which eliminates the need for an
external and expensive chroma key device. The HDVG can
provide a video delay function as well (optional).

System
Installation
This chapter provides a detailed step-by-step process for

installing the HDVG.
Installation
Step 1: Mounting the HDVG on a rack
The HDVG workstation can be mounted on a rack, using four
rack screws. It is important to make sure the screws are secure
to ensure that the workstation does not move once mounted.
Ventilation of the workstation is handled through the sides of

the unit, with incoming air from the sides and cooling fans
(blowing out) on the back. (See Figure 2-4)
20
If HDVG workstation is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack

assembly, the operations ambient temperature of the rack may
be greater than room ambient. User must make sure that the
temperature in the rack always stays within the range specified
in the environment specifications.
Caution
To prevent overheating, be sure the sides of
the HDVG workstation are uncovered and
enough room for ventilation is left.
Step 2: Connecting the Power

The HDVG has two power supplies. Two power cables are to be
connected, one for each power supply.
Danger - Risk of Electric Shock

To avoid the risks of electrical shock and
fire, inspect the system power cord and plug
on a regular basis. Ensure they are not
damaged in any way.
Caution
Make sure power connection includes a
reliable earthing.
Chapter 4: System Installation
21
After the HDVG is mounted and secured, connect both power

cables to the power supply tray. Two power supplies give the
HDVG a back-up power source in case one incurs a problem.
Note
When one of the power sources ceases to
function, then a beeping alarm sounds to alert
you that only one power source is in use. Press
the Mute button on the front panel in order to
stop the alarm.
Step 3: Connecting the Video

The HDVG must receive a valid reference (Genlock) signal to
either the analog REF input (recommended), or a digital signal.
When using an Analog GENLOCK source, plug in to the

ANALOG REF plug.
Do not use a chained signal from other devices.
Connect the video cables according to your configuration. Refer

to Chapter 3 for more detailed information on which inputs and
outputs to use for the various configurations and modes.
Step 4: Connecting the Network

The network (Ethernet) interface is used for communication
with the control host, external host, NTP Server and tracking
devices.
The HDVG includes two network interface cards (NIC):

22
Both can be used for communication with Control host, general

networking, NTP, Tracking or in Bonding mode for redundancy
considerations.
Step 5: Start Up the HDVG

When all of the necessary connections have been completed and
configured, you may start up the HDVG as follows:
Press the Power button located on the front panel
In case you need to adjust the HDVG network configuration to

your local network, please refer to Chapter 5: Network
Adjustments. If the network is ready or there are no
modifications needed, please refer to Chapter 6: Video and
Graphics Testing.
Maintenance and service

Danger - Risk of Electric Shock
This unit has two connections to the main supply. For
protection against electric shock, disconnect both electric
cords before service.
Do not remove the power module without gloves. The
cover of the power module is used as a heat-sink for
cooling. Its temperature could get up to 60C under full
load condition.
If removed, put aside the power module and wait for
cooling down. Keep from other people touching it until it is
cooled.
Risk of explosion if lithium battery on motherboard is
replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries
according to the instructions.
Chapter 5: Network Adjustments
23
Network
Adjustments
After the HDVG is properly installed and ready, there are some
modifications and tests to run before installing and running the
application.
The first step is to configure the network connections.
In the event that the HDVG will be connected to an existing

corporate network, it is recommended that a system
administrator or operator with some network knowledge
perform the necessary changes to the local network (changing
IP addresses and hostnames). In the case of an isolated network
environment, the factory settings may remain.
Modifying the Network

To modify the network:
1. Turn on the HDVG.
24
2. If you have the PuTTY Utility installed on the control

computer (look under Start menu), operate it by clicking
on the PuTTY icon, and enter the render computers (Linux
computer) name or the IP address in the Host Name field
and in the Stored Sessions field (see Figure 5-1).
3. Change the Connection Type to Telnet
4. Click Save. The names will appear in the list. Double
clicking on the name will open a shell.
5. Login as root.
25
Figure 5-1: PuTTY Window
If you do not have the PuTTY Utility installed, follow Steps

6 to 14. If you have already logged in the Linux using
PuTTY utility, skip to Step 14 (Edit the file).
6. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
7. On the Control Panel Home page, click Programs.
8. In the Programs and Features section, click Turn
Windows features on or off.
26
9. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm

that the action it displays is what you want, and then click
Continue.
10. In the Windows Features list, select Telnet Client, and
then click OK.
11. On the Windows computer, go to Start > Run, and type
cmd
12. In the cmd shell, enter telnet <IP address>
13. When prompted login, enter root
14. Edit the file /etc/hosts and insert or replace the relevant
IP addresses and hostnames. Make sure that ALL the
hostnames and IP addresses of the computers that are
taking part in the system (tracking, controlling, etc) are
inserted to this file.
Examples of typical hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.10.13.11 hdvg-11
10.10.7.11 control-11
We recommend using the easyedit utility for editing text in

a Linux shell. Easyedit utility help notes:
Command line operation:
edit [+#] [-i] [-e] [-h] [file(s)]
where:
+#:go to line #; -i :no info window; -e :don't expand tabs;
-h :no highlight
For example:
edit /etc/hosts
27
15. It is possible to edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network to

change the hostname, but this is not recommended.
16. Edit the files /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-
eth0 and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
to change the local network IP address and subnet mask.
17. Reboot
28
Video and
Graphics
Testing
Video tests are an important way to check not only the HDVG
system as a whole, but also the video in/out connection of the
DVG card. This test should be performed after installation or
upgrading and is a useful tool to identify and diagnose video
problems.
The tests run from the Linux shell through either the Windows
CMD utility (telnet) or the PuTTY utility. For information on
logging in to the HDVG system and configuring the Linux side
networks, see Modifying the Linux Side Networks in
Chapter 5 Network Adjustments.
All test results appear on the video outputs of the HDVG. And
in the putty/telnet session where the dvgtest command was
entered.
Chapter 6: Video and Graphics Testing
29
The Dvgtest command was created to simulate different usage

types of the dvg without using the Render Engine. This allows
the user to check components of the system that come prior to
the engine and eliminate issues related to Render Engine
configuration during troubleshooting.
A Dvgtest is a good way to check the state of the hardware, in

addition to libraries, firmware and drivers compatibility.
The section bellow will explain the different options of dvgtest.

Usually the goal of the engineer is to create a test which will
simulate the Render Engine configuration as precisely as
possible.
When no option is specified, the test will run in SD NTSC

mode and in free run mode.
Use dvgtest h command to print additional options.
Testing Genlock and Video Out

Run dvgtest in the following syntax to test Genlock (there are
other testing options available as will be explained further in
this chapter):
rmmod dvgg
setenv DVG_3DVG_FORCE_DVI_DUAL_LINK
dvgtest <genlock mode> <video format> -t
