3. Remove the old version of the NewsCutter and TARGA
®
2000
software. See the Avid NewsCutter Release Notes.
4. Remove the hardware used in the earlier releases. Replacing the
hardware is described in this upgrade document.
5. Install the NewsCutter upgrade and optional hardware in the
Avid system.
6. If you are using the Meridien
™
I/O box from a release prior to
NewsCutter Release 2.x, you will need to replace your existing
–14-dB two-channel audio I/O board with two –20-dB
two-channel audio I/O boards in the Meridien I/O box.
c
Changing your audio calibration to –20 dB will have an effect on the
audio that was recorded using –14 dB. You must evaluate the
ramifications of this change before doing it.
7. After installing the new release of the NewsCutter application,
you must update your application key (dongle). See the Avid
NewsCutter Release Notes.
8. Run the Video I/O utility to update the firmware in the video I/O
board and the optional SDI board in the Meridien I/O box. This
procedure is accomplished after the NewsCutter Release 2.x
software is installed on your system. See the Avid NewsCutter
Release Notes. If you have the optional SDI board installed, the
update could take as long as 20 minutes.
9. Reinstall your Windows NT service pack.
n
Microsoft
®
recommends that you install or reinstall service packs after you
install new hardware and software.
10. After the upgrade is complete, use the Avid NewsCutter Setup
Guide to connect the Avid system and Meridien I/O box.
11. Return the NewsCutter Release 1.x hardware to Avid. See
“Returning Boards to Avid” on page 32.
