Verify versions of supporting systems

Depending on the system design, the MediaFrame/Browse system requires that
components from other systems be upgraded.

•

If your system does not have the following software versions, you will need get
the software upgraded in this order:

a) Windows 2003
b) Windows 2003 Service pack 2
c) Microsoft Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 3.0
d) IIS
e) SQL 2005
f) SQL Service pack 2

NOTE: After you have upgraded your system, you will need to import a fully
backed up database. (Do not use an incremental backup.)

•

K2 systems, M-Series, or standalone Profiles must be running a compatible version.

•

K2 systems must have a version of K2 software that has the SetRTIO service
running. (If not, SetRTIO.exe can be downloaded from the FTP site. Start the
service after installing it.)

•

Aurora Edit, Aurora Ingest, or Aurora Playout systems must be running a compatible
version.

•

The Aurora FTP version must be compatible.

•

Encoders must have software components upgraded as necessary to access shared
storage. For example, if accessing K2 shared storage, Encoders must have SNFS,
Generic iSCSI, and GVG_MLib software upgraded to compatible versions and be
able to successfully access the shared storage.

•

Before upgrading an encoder, SmartBins (SmartBin encoder) or Aurora FTP (Aurora
Proxy encoder) must be installed on the machine. Before upgrading an encoder on
K2 BaseCamp Express, the Intel IPP files must be installed.

When you have verified that other systems are already running compatible versions
or can be upgraded to compatible versions along with this Browse system upgrade,
proceed with the next task.

Stop all system use

1. Stop all media access on the Browse system and on connected systems. This

includes all ingest, playout, record, play, and transfer operations.

2. If it is not already on the system, install QuickTime.
