TC8x01 Main CPU Bay

A modular equipment bay which contains the
system's microprocessor module (TC8511C or
TC8x10A), the power supply module (TC8x05), and
several video input and video output modules (see
below). Up to eight TC8550 Series keyboards may
be connected directly to the CPU bay.

TC8802 Monitor Expansion Bay

Required in TC8800 systems having more than 32
monitors. This expansion bay contains a data
receiver module (TC8816A),
(TC8805), and additional video input and output
modules. The monitor expansion bay can also
accommodate up to eight additional keyboards.

TC8x21 Video Input Module

Individual cards placed in bays to accept inputs from
cameras and other video sources.
TC8532, TC8834
Video Output Modules
Individual cards placed in bays to provide outputs to
monitors and VCRs.
