HOW TO REPLACE A DISK
Before replacing a disk, ensure that the software application has disconnected and
stopped the disk. In this case, the disk LED is blinking slowly red with a 4-second
cycle.
1. When the disk is stopped, disconnect the canister.
2. Replace the disk in the canister.
3. Put the canister back sliding it to the bottom of the frame.
The LED on the canister should first blink rapidly red with a 3-second cycle while
the disk is being mounted. Then, it should blink green.
3.5 MTPC BOARD
3.5.1 INTRODUCTION
The function of the PC board is mainly the control of the Video hardware via the
software and to interface the peripheral equipment (i.e. remote controller) with the
Video hardware.
Two types of MTPC boards can be used:
• A2/A3 with COMMEL HS870 motherboard (with bootable USB)
• A2/A4 with COMMEL HS870 motherboard and a new time code management
module (with bootable USB)
In standard configuration the PC hardware is composed by:
• One mounting PC board, with serial ports, LTC reader and generator, is
controlled by the motherboard.
• IDE System Hard disk: the IDE disk drive is used for storing the EVS software
and the DOS operating system. Neither audio nor video data is saved on this
disk. The capacity of this drive may vary depending on market availability, but
the system partition is always set to 1GB. The remaining capacity of this drive
is not used.
• 64/128MB SDRAM modified. The SDRAM used has been modified to suit the
system requirements. Please contact EVS support for RAMs upgrade. Do not
use standard PC RAM modules.
