About This Manual
The ADC Device Server User’s Manual contains the following chapters:
Introduction. This chapter, giving an overview of the ADC Device Server and its
features. Also included is a brief description of optional Harris products.
Chapter 1, Installation” on page 1-1, provides instructions for installing the ADC
Device Server and its client-side configuration software.
Chapter 2, “Configuration Manager” on page 2-1, covers in detail the configuration
utility and the basic steps to get the ADC Device Server up and running. Most ADC
Device Server systems arrive with hardware already installed and configured. For
these systems, little (if any) hardware installation and configuration is required. This
chapter is particularly useful when adding new boards to computers and other
components or when upgrading to the current ADC Device Server configuration.
Also included in this chapter is generic information on configuring different types of
lists (play lists, media lists, GMT lists, and compile lists).
Chapter 3, “Video Disk Configuration” on page 3-1, describes the various
configuration options for a typical video disk.
Chapter 4, “VTR Configuration” on page 4-1, describes the various configuration
options for a typical video tape recorder (VTR).

Chapter 5, Cart Machine Configuration” on page 5-1, describes the various configuration
options for a typical cart machine.
Chapter 6, “M/C Switcher Configurationon page 6-1, describes the various configuration

Chapter 8, “Requester Configuration” on page 8-1, describes the various configuration
options for a typical requester. Requesters and distributors work in conjunction with Harris’
GMT product to enhance the automation process. See “GMT” on page 11.
Chapter 9, “Distributor Configuration” on page 9-1, describes the various configuration
options for a typical distributor. Requesters and distributors work in conjunction with Harris’
GMT product to enhance the automation process. See “GMT” on page 11.
Appendix A, “Supported Devices” on page A-1, contains a list of all currently supported
devices. This list is continually updated, so be sure to check Harris’ website at

What is the Harris Automation System?
The Harris system automates television broadcast operations for the station, network, cable,
newsroom and/or offline environments. It also provides a link between traffic, master control
and engineering, establishing a method of organization and communication between often-
isolated television station departments.
Automation allows the control room to function at peak efficiency, minimizing operator errors
through such features as automating the process of transferring traffic’s lists so the operator
does not have to re-enter the same data from traffic’s logs. The master control operator also
can perform several tasks at the same time, since the automation system performs many tasks
that formerly were done manually.
The basic ADC Device Server system has a device server which is configured for at least one
transmission list. The file server is located on a separate, dedicated computer. The client (user)
computers connect to the Device Server and file server computers through a local area
network (LAN) that uses a client-server configuration.
System configurations can range from a simple server connected to a switcher and three or
four VTRs to a large system that manages video disk servers, several cart machines, many
VTRs and a wide variety of other devices.

Introduction 3
The following diagram presents a basic overview of automation system components:
Using Harris Automation in the Broadcast Environment
Three major activities are performed in the broadcast environment to prepare an event for air.
The station’s Traffic department typically generates a dub list (new material to prepare for on-
air playout). Using the Harris Media Client (available separately), this list can be transformed
into a label list for barcode labels and the tape details directly entered into the Harris database,
as well as a dub list for spots to be entered into a video disk server.
Traffic produces a schedule of the items to be played out during a specific time period. The
automation system accepts the schedules from traffic through a traffic system interface, con-
verts the schedules to playlists and stores the lists at the file server computer. Play lists can
also be created and edited directly from the client workstations.
To prepare a list for playout, the play list is loaded into the ADC Device Server transmission
window and becomes a transmission list. ADC Device Server activities are driven by
transmission lists. There are two major types of transmission lists play and compile lists.
Play lists are used for both playout and record events, although separate lists are used for each
of these activities. Compile lists are used to take interstitial material and record it together on a
separate tape to be played out by a single VTR. Compilation reduces the number of VTRs
needed to play out the interstitial material to air.
Harris ADC Device Server User’s Guide
4Introduction
While a play list is running, each event performs a specific task such as play, record, which
includes threading and switching. After the event airs, the actual start time and duration of
the event are written in the As-Run log (file). This log is typically returned to Traffic where
changes in the original schedule can be compared and billing and recordkeeping updated.
System Components
The basic automation system is comprised of the following components:
ADC Device Server
Backup (Redundant) Server (suggested)
Air Client Workstation(s)
Media Client Workstation
File Server
ADC Device Server
The ADC Device Server is the computer dedicated to communicating and controlling the
broadcast devices and client workstations. The device server is the subject of this manual. The
device server controls devices via an RS-422 connection. It also sends and receives frame-
accurate information across the Local Area Network (LAN) from remote client workstations.
Backup (Redundant) Server
(Optional) Backup is an important part of automation. The ability to recover immediately
from hardware failure in a broadcast environment is crucial. Protection against device server
failure can be achieved through a backup (redundant) device server.
The backup device server is a computer which is identical to the main device server. If the
main device server fails, the backup device server takes over the tasks handled by the main
device server. The backup device server is configured the same way as the main device server.
If the main device server fails, the device connections can be manually transferred to the
backup device server. The transfer is accomplished by an RS-422 switching device.
Air Client Workstations
The Air Client workstations are PC computers that run client application software. The
workstations communicate with the Device Server through a local area network.
