The NewsBrowse Network Attached Storage (NAS) unit provides storage for
MPEG-1 proxy video, storyboards, thumbnails and RealVideo. 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:
• Connect a Gigabit Ethernet cable from the port on the NAS to your LAN or directly
to NewsBrowse clients.
• Connect an Ethernet cable from
LAN1
and
LAN2
ports on the NAS to a network
router or switch.
• 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.
