2. INTRODUCTION TO THE APRESA SERVER

The APRESA server is available on the market in 3 types of housing:

1. The "BLACK" or the "BLUE" 19" RACK-MOUNT HOUSING, the standard APRESA.

2. The DESKTOP housing, the APRESA-Compact

All APRESA-options ordered are pre-installed by VIDICODE:

You will find APRESA license, CHANNEL licenses, CODEC licenses, etc. and the APRESA

software on CD in the delivery. These are just for your safekeeping only. You need these

items only when you want to re-install the software.

Interface card(s) that are ordered for this machine will be pre-installed.

The following sub-sections describe the 3 types of housing in functional and specifications detail.

INSTALLATION MANUAL APRESA

These versions are based on industrial-grade PC server components. Both

are fully compatible with 19-inch server cabinets and will take 4U cabinet

space. All basic controls, indicators and the DVD drive are safely placed

behind a lockable door. Please note that the door-lock-keys are universal

(e.g. identical between different APRESA units). The sole purpose of the

DVD is to accommodate software installation. Because the software is pre-

installed by VIDICODE, the DVD has no immediate function. The DVD is

used when software must be re-installed in the future for whatever reason.

This version is based on standard quality PC components build in a desktop

housing. It is intended to be a small scale- and low cost recording solution.

The unit has no DVD drive so, the user must attach a USB-DVD drive when

reinstalling the software.
