Microsoft Windows critical updates
Grass Valley recognizes that it is essential to be able to deploy Microsoft security
patches to our Windows-based products as quickly as possible. As Grass Valley
systems are used to meet the mission-critical requirements of your environment, we
feel it is imperative that systems be kept up to date in order to maintain the highest
level of security available. To that end, we encourage you to install all critical
operating system updates provided by Microsoft. In the unlikely event that one of
these updates causes ill effects to a Grass Valley system, you are urged to uninstall
the update and contact Grass Valley customer service as soon as possible. Grass
Valley will investigate the incompatibility and, if necessary, provide a software
update or work-around to allow our products to properly function with the Microsoft
update in question.
Please note that this policy applies to critical updates only. There are countless other
noncritical updates which are made available by Microsoft. If you feel that one or
more of these non-critical updates must be applied, we request that you contact Grass
Valley prior to installation.
You should exercise common sense when applying these updates. Specifically,
updates should not be downloaded or installed while a Grass Valley product is being
used for mission critical purposes such as play to air.
