Preface; Software And Operations Manual Revisions - 360 Systems MAXX-1200-HD Operation Manual

Preface

This manual provides installation, setup and operating instructions for 360 Systems'
MAXX-1200-HD and 1200-EX video servers. It is organized to provide quick access to topics of
primary interest. An extensive Table of Contents is provided at the beginning and a subject Index
at the end, to assist in locating information.
The two models are identical except for the available storage, so unless specified all references
to MAXX-1200 or MAXX-1200-HD also apply to MAXX-1200-EX
If you have already used other video servers or VTRs, you may find discussion of the basic
server to be covering familiar topics. However, it is strongly recommended that engineering
managers and staff members operating the server read through this manual. Being familiar with its
operation can prevent operational mistakes, and will make all users aware of important set-up and
maintenance issues.

Software and Operations Manual Revisions

Software revisions are released from time-to-time that introduce new product features, or
improve the performance of the product. When such revisions are shipped in the form of a USB
Flash device, printed operational notes will be included. When revisions are introduced in the
course of product production, an updated Operations Manual will be shipped with new servers.
The title page of an Operations Manual indicates its revision number, which should always
match the software revision of the server with which it is used. Operations Manuals for the latest
revision may be obtained from 360 Systems Customer Service, or from 360 Systems' web site.
Your comments are welcome. If anything in this manual seems unclear, please let us know by
sending an email to support@360systems.com.
