Grass Valley Maestro Master Control Installation v.2.4.0 - Manual (Page 262)

MAESTRO Installation and Service Manual 262
Note It is highly recommended that a PCI Panel Server card be installed in the
Maestro GUI PC if you intend to use the GUI Control Console application for
controlling Maestro channel processors. See Section 3 - Hardware for more
information.
• Jupiter Router Service (must be installed on the Jupiter server if using
the Jupiter Router Control System).
Software Application Files
When a new version of Maestro software is installed, the directories and
files are created on the deployment PC’s hard drive. If the recommended
defaults are used during an installation, the Maestro software update files
are located in:
C:\MaestroEmbedded
Each installed software release will create three files on the PC with the fol-
lowing name format:
• MaestroCP_X.XXX.XXXX.XXX.tar
• MaestroMC_X.XXX.XXXX.XXX.LTC.tar
• MaestroMC_X.XXX.XXXX.XXX.VITC.tar
Note To simplify the update process, the distribution files are consolidated in a
“.tar” format, which is similar to a “.zip” file. (The term “tar” originally stood
for “tape archive.”)
The “X.XXX.XXXX.XXX” text in the above file names represents the long
version number of the software release.
For example, for the 2.4.0 release these files are:
• MaestroCP_2.300.3864.1196.tar
• MaestroMC_2.300.3864.1196.LTC.tar
• MaestroMC_2.300.3864.1196.VITC.tar
The .LTC.tar file is used for systems that are utilizing the LTC time code.
The .VITC.tar file is loaded on to the systems that are using the VITC time
code.
Note The removal of Maestro software does not remove the .tar files created by the
installation of that software version. It is possible that several sets of .tar files
may be present in the MaestroEmbedded directory. You may want to manu-
ally delete the oldest of those files; however, keeping one or two prior ver-
sions will make it possible to roll back to a prior version, if needed.
