  1. Power down all unused computers, unused technical equipment, other office equipment such as photocopiers, and lighting when not required.
  2. Power down unused cuts only edit systems in Gillum Hall.
  3. Power down all equipment in duplication/satellite racks in Gillum Hall when not in use.
  4. Power down Gillum Hall conference room equipment when not in use.
  5. Power down all Dreiser Hall QC video/audio monitoring in central racks when not in use

University Level 3 – Requires minimum 60 minutes notification

  1. Confirm with Director the notification of power down to IHETS Video Network Operations Center (loss of uplinks, etc.) see (additional contact numbers) . 
  2. Save files and power down remaining office computers. 
  3. In the Gillum Hall duplication/satellite racks, leave Leitch router, message channel computer, video capture computer, and baseband fiber frame(s) powered. 
  4. Power down all remaining duplication equipment in Gillum Hall duplication/satellite racks. 
  5. Save files and power down satellite dish control system and all receivers. 
  6. Power down Gillum Hall conference room equipment. 
  7. Power down DE rooms 1 through 5. 
  8. Power down studios A and B. 
  9. Power down editing on both Avid 1, 2, and 3, shut down editing on GVG editor. 
  10. Power down all cuts only edit systems in Gillum and Dreiser Halls. 
  11. Power down WISU-FM and set transmitter to cold standby mode. 
  12. Power down TC-2000 codecs 1 through 5. 
  13. Bypass router video and audio for SCOLA satellite receivers to modulators 1 and 2 (channels 14 and 15) and message channel to modulator 4 (channel 21) by using patch fields and patch cords.
  14. Check for signal continuity to cable system channels 14, 15, and 21. 
  15. Power down all frames of Philips eight level router and three control processors. 
  16. Power down IHETS satellite receivers and encoders. 
    Power down signal distribution, signal processing, video/audio  monitoring, and data conversion in Dreiser Hall central racks.
  17. Check for UPS logging enabled and power off computer monitor. 
  18. Retain power to master sync/test generators and changeover, master clock, SCOLA receivers, modulators, cable distribution equipment, and baseband fiber frames. 

UPS NOTES:

  1. At this load the Dreiser Hall UPS has a calculated eighteen-hour reserve with little rise in the ambient temperature. Upon automatic shutdown of the UPS when the batteries reach maximum discharge the cable system will fail. The master clock has its own battery backup that has another ten hours of reserve.


  2. The Gillum Hall UPS in the duplication/satellite equipment area has a calculated runtime of three hours at this load and is fed from the generator in Gillum Hall. 

Resume power from University Level 3 – Requires minimum two hours from notification.

Notes:

  1. It is assumed that the DE classes would be canceled at level 3. 

  2. It is assumed that WISU-FM would be shut down at level 3. 

  3. Notification list will be required for power down and power up. 

  4. Initial Video Engineering Services notification would be to Jeff Steinmiller with Jack Williams as an alternate in my absence. The alternate or myself would notify the rest of Video Engineering Services.

  5. Pagers will be carried by all Video Engineering Services personnel until all equipment and systems are powered up and checked for proper operation after a Level 3 has passed.
