The NewsBrowse Network Attached Storage (NAS) unit provides storage for
MPEG-1 proxy video, storyboards, and thumbnails. It may also be configured to store
Edit Decision Lists (EDL) that are saved to the NewsBrowse system. Encoders are
configured to write to specific locations on the NAS via 100Tx connections over the
network. Client access is provided via Gigabit Ethernet uplink to the Client Network.
Platform Specifications are as follows:
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003
• Redundant Power Supplies
• 1000BaseT LAN
• 100Tx LAN (x2)
• RAID protected drives
For instructions on the Linux version of the Fastora NAS, refer to
. If necessary, you can mix Linux versions and Windows
versions of the NAS on a single NewsBrowse system.
Cable as illustrated and as follows:
• For systems with one unified Production network, connect LAN port 1 to the
Production network.
• For systems with a Production network consisting of a media network and a control
network, connect LAN port 1 to the media network and LAN port 2 to the control
network.
• Connect Gigabit port 1 to the Client network.
• Connect both power cables from the back of the NAS to a power supply.
Power supply units are hot-swappable. Once power is applied using switches on the
rear panel, use the power switch on the front panel to power down. Failure to use the
front switch will cause the disk array to rebuild on the next power up.
