Unpacking

There are a few important things to remember when unpacking your computer:

• Keep all of the boxes and packing material. In case something goes wrong

with your computer, you will want to send it back to Smarts

• Check the packing list to make sure no parts are missing

The Parts

When you open those boxes, you will find the hardware of your new computer. The

basic hardware includes:

• Monitor

• Console or CPU- there are four main types:

The tower is tall and thin and generally placed on the floor.

The desktop is short and wide, placed on a desk with the monitor on top.

The mini-tower is like the tower, but not as tall. It can be placed on a desk,

but unlike the desktop, it cannot have a monitor on top. The rack style case,

designed to fit into an equipment rack, either in the studio or the equipment

room.

• Keyboard & Mouse

Generally, the monitor will be contained within one large, heavy box. The monitor is

usually drop shipped in advance of the main units. The second box will be the CPU

box for the Smartcaster control unit. The third box will be the AUDIO device, either

Linux or Windows depending on the system. The last box contains all of the other

parts, known as peripherals, such as the RIDZ, 780 boards, Smarttouch, keyboards

manuals, modems and other options. Each box should have a packing slip in it,

please check this and note any discrepancies, or shipping damage.

Setting up and plugging in

The first step of setting up your new Smartcaster system is deciding where you want

to place it. It is common to assemble those parts on a workbench for a dry run to be

sure the parts are all there and to help visualize how it all goes together.

Machine Rooms VS. Control Rooms

Much new construction in radio relies on a central machine room to house the equipment,

and minimal amounts of equipment in the “Studio”. This will minimize nose and heat in

the Studio, and make maintenance a much less pressure filled process. Digital console

systems where the control board is just a user interface, a remote control for the I/O

router continues to make building from the ground up more and more economical.

We sell KVM (keyboard-Video-Mouse) extender systems that use Cat-5 wiring to extend

the console hundreds of feet from the computer itself. Most of these units support a local

console connection so that you don’t have to run back and fourth between studios to work

with the system.

In a multi station facility using a combination of extenders and multiplexers allows each

station a point to control their computers, but lets the engineering staff “Dial Up” a
