CHAPTER FOUR – Using an External Drive
Instant Replay 2.0 model DR-554 offers the option of connecting an Iomega Zip 100 Parallel (or
PC), Zip 100 Plus drive or Zip 250 Parallel Port (PC). This allows Cuts to be archived,
transferred from one unit to another, or brought in from another 360 Systems product such as
DigiCart/II Plus or Short/cut. While Zip 250 disks are compatible with Instant Replay, they are
not compatible with DigiCart/II Plus for the purpose of file exchange.
Note that the Zip drive must be Parallel Port compatible. Zip Plus is compatible with SCSI and
Parallel Port operation, but some Zip drives are for SCSI operation only, and are not compatible
with Instant Replay model DR-554.
The Zip drive allows most of the same operations as the hard drive, and has ten additional Banks
to organize the Cuts on the Zip drive. Note that Hot-Keys can only be assigned to Cuts on the
currently selected drive, so Banks on the Zip drive cannot access Cuts on the internal drive.
WARNING
•
When using Dolby™ AC-2 format, you can record directly to and play back from the Zip
drive. However, we recommend that the Internal hard drive be used for critical
recording and playback.
•
It is not possible to Record or Play material in 48K or 44.1K Linear formats using the
External drive. The display will show “DRIVE TOO SLOW” if a Linear Cut attempts to
Play.
•
It is not possible to Record directly to 100 mb disks in a 250 mb drive. AC-2 Files can be
Played from a 100 mb disk using a 250 mb drive.
•
Any file can be Copied to or from either type of disk.
INITIAL SETUP
Connections
The external drive is connected to Instant Replay’s rear panel P RINTER connector.
NOTE: If you are using a Zip Plus, the cable supplied with the Zip Plus Drive must be used.
Other Zip drives come with compatible cables. If a different cable is used it must not be more
than six feet long.
If you are also using a printer, the printer should be connected to the printer connection on the Zip
drive.
