Imagestore 750
User Manual
When it is physically connected and activated, the LTC or VITC timecode source is used to adjust
the internal clock once per minute. When a timecode source is not connected, an NTP server can
be used to update the system clock periodically. Alternatively, the internal clock will free run.
Timecode source, timecode status, and clock time can be viewed using the
Setup > Timecode
front panel menu.
Message Logging
The Imagestore 750 generates message logs to record warnings and errors during operation,
and (optionally) to record commands received from automation. The message log file can help
diagnose a range of different issues, from invalid parameters in automation commands to hard-
ware faults.
The Imagestore 750 maintains two message log files:
•
The file messages records log messages since the Imagestore 750 was powered on.
•
The file messages.old records log messages for the previous powered session, in case the
Imagestore 750 was restarted after a failure.
Message logs can be downloaded from the Imagestore 750 web page as described in
Logging Level
Set the logging level using Setup > Logging > Logging Level at the front panel
menu. The possible options are:
External Logging
Set the IP address of an external logging server using Setup > Logging > Logging
Server
at the front panel menu. This allows a remote syslog
2
server to be set up, permitting
log files to be logged externally.
Setting up a syslog server is well-documented on the Internet; however Miranda Customer
Support can also provide details.
