Using InSync
Important information about using InSync
These are some constraints that you must be aware of when using InSync.
• Loop recording cannot be used with InSync.
• Clips of pre-defined length, such as those created by BVW Insert Edit, do not back
up correctly with some versions of system software. To obtain system software that
supports these operations, please contact Grass Valley Product Support (see
page
4 ).
• When you are using the bi-directional mirroring mode you must not create, and you
must not allow an automation program to create, a clip with the same name in the
same directory at the same time on both units. Doing so creates contention that can
result in the loss of one of the clips created.
• When you are using the bi-directional mirroring mode you must not edit the same
clip in the same directory at the same time on both units. Doing so results in the
loss of edits to the clip closed first.
Installing InSync
The first step to installing InSync is to run the Setup program on the InSync
CD-ROM. You must install InSync on one of the Profile XPs (the master) that you
will use. You might want to install InSync on the slave Profile XP as well as the
master. Having InSync installed and ready to run can be convenient if you need to
operate the slave Profile XP as master and assign a new slave to maintain redundancy.
To install InSync you must be logged on as Administrator. For information about
logging on as Administrator, see the Profile XP System Guide.
1. Insert the CD-ROM into the drive on the Profile XP you’ve chosen to be master.
Choose Start | Run and browse for Setup.exe on the CD-ROM.
2. Follow on-screen instructions, clicking Next and Finish , to work through the
installation program.
Starting and stopping InSync
As InSync runs, it provides continuous, automatic mirroring of the master Profile XP
on the slave Profile XP (unless you configure it to only run manually).
Start InSync by opening the following file:
C:\profile\InSync.exe
The Countdown dialog box appears.
