SD12 and other Win7e based mixers
Use of HORM system and overview screen setup

Introduction to HORM

HORM - Hibernate Once Read Many - This is a Windows 7e function an equivalent to Ready On
as used on the older SD-series consoles based on Win XPe. The functionality of this is slightly
different.
In the same way as Ready On, it protects the C: Drive from unintended changes.
The method of making intended changes is quite different to the older system and is described
below.
The main difference that is immediately seen between HORM and Ready-On is that there is no
command line path to start an application on startup.
NOTE: This means that even with HORM disabled, the SD12 application will still start
automatically and that cannot be prevented.
*In the case of a corrupted startup.ses preventing the console starting up correctly, holding the
SHIFT key will still offer the option of a "default start". Hold the SHIFT key as soon as you see the
SD12 logo appear on the Master screen

Use of HORM system

The access the HORM system quit to Windows from the mixer program.
Touch "Quit to Windows" under the system button.
There is a small icon at the bottom of the Start Bar which is the shortcut to HORM configuration.
The left picture shows the HORM icon when active and with the drive locked (normal use) and the
right picture when available but the drive is not locked.
