(For DV data capture)
Recommend PCI slot
RX-E1 Card should not share with other PCI devices in the same PCI bridge, i.e. RX-E1
should go to one of the two PCI slots that do not share the PCI bridge with the Gigabit
LAN, and the other PCI slot next to it should be left open.
The Intel SE7505VB2 motherboard has two PCI-X slots and one PCI64bit/66MHz
slot. The PCI 64bit / 66MHz slot is not recommended because it shares the Gigabit
controller.
We recommend using Intel 7505 Chipset when you install RX-E1 board.
When you have 2 or 3 route bridges, we recommend RX-E1 board should be installed
in PCI64bit / 66MHz slot that does not have any other branch, or in PCI-X slot.

2Hardware Setting
Setting the Main Board
Before board setting, be sure that your work area is dust-free and dry. Prepare a Philips
screwdriver and an empty box for removed screws in advance.
Also, be sure that your PC is turned off and that the cables (including power) are
removed from the PC.
* The product components vary depending on the product of your purchase.
POINT See the instruction manual for your PC (motherboard) for the PCI (PCI
Express) slot type.
The slot to set your EDIUS SP / SD / HD varies depending on the
product of your purchase.
See the instruction manual for your PC (motherboard) for the PCI slot type.
<EDIUS SP>
- Set the main board (SHX-E1) in the normal PCI slot (64bit / 66MHz PCI).
- 32bit / 33MHz PCI can be used when you edit only SD format videos.
<EDIUS SP-SDI>
- Set the main board (SHX-E2) in the PCI Express slot (PCI EXpress x1).
- When PCI Express x1 is not available, either PCI Express x4 or x8 can
be used.
<EDIUS HD/SD>
- Set the main board (RX-E1) in the normal PCI slot (64bit / 66MHz PCI).
POINT EDIUS SP-SDI main board (SHX-E2) has a PCI retainer equipped. If
your PC has a slot which supports the full-sized PCI board, set the PCI
retainer to it so that it can retain the EDIUS SP-SDI board. If the board
does not seem to t to a PCI Express slot of your PC because of the
PCI retainer, or if your PC does not have a hook to set the PCI retainer,
remove the PCI retainer from the main board without fail.
How to remove the PCI retainer
Remove three screws xing PCI retainer with driver.

1 Tightly set the main board in PCI (PCI Express) slot.
Main board
POINT The main board should t in the PCI (PCI Express) slot without using
any force. If the board cannot be inserted fully, please do not force in or
bend any parts of the board.

Specication of audio cable (4pin-4pin) is:
Red : Right channel (R)
White : Left channel (L)
Black : Ground (G)
For audio output, use the attached audio cable (4pin-4pin) to connect sound device in
output destination and the main board.
* Attached audio cable (4pin-4pin) branches off connectors with different type and
wiring specication. Connect the side without branch to main board, and the side
with branch to sound device in output destination. Use a connector that complies with
the connector type and wiring specication for connecting destination. If you cannot
use the attached audio cable (4pin-4pin), prepare another cable separately.
Output from sound device on board
Connect the audio cable to the terminal of motherboard.
* Note that onboard sound device (sound device installed in motherboard: for details,
see the instruction manual for your PC or motherboard) might interfere with the
board installed in slot depending on connector position of the device.

To connect HDBX to the RX-E1 board, you need to replace the SDI terminal of the RX-
E1 board with the HDBX connecting terminal. This section explains how to remove the
RX-E1 board already set in PC and how to replace the terminal. When the RX-E1 board
is not set in PC, see from step 4.
Notes Static electricity can damage electronic components. Take care not to
touch connectors or cards directly. When installing or working on your
PC, rst touch a grounded metal surface. This will discharge any static
electricity on your body.
1 Shut down Windows and unplug the power cable of your PC
before installation.
2 Remove the cover of your PC.
