V 1 P R O F E S S I O N A L 5 . 7

Networking

The V1 has the ability to share video with other V1s via a network. Any V1 should be

able to “see” the other V1s on the Intranet (Local Area Network or LAN) if the

system meets these criteria:

• Each machine must have installed the

Client for Microsoft Networks

File

and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks

, and the

Microsoft

NetBUI

protocol

(pre-XP versions of Windows only).

• Each machine must have a workgroup name of “V1”.

• Each machine must have a unique machine name.

• Each machine must share the C drive as “C” with full read/write

privileges.

• Each machine must share the V1’s program folder as “V1”. By default,

this is the “C:\V1_57” folder.

• Each machine must be using V1 version 5.7.

The easiest way to test your configuration is through the Windows “My Network

Places” icon. If you’re using Windows XP, click the “View workgroup computers”

task, and then use the

icon. You should now have a window that’s browsing the

“Microsoft Windows Network.” In this window you should see an icon labeled “V1”

which represents the V1 workgroup. When you open V1, you should see an icon for

each machine in your V1 network. When you open each machine, you should see a

“C” icon (representing the C drive) and a “V1” icon (representing your V1 program

folder).

Now, to access video on another V1, follow the instructions for “accessing a

removable disc” in a preceding section. Other V1s on the network will appear as tabs.

Here’s an example of what you might see when holding down the

Stored

bin button:

In this example, the remote V1’s machine name is “CD-Burner.”

Please contact a networking professional directly if you require further assistance

configuring your Intranet for use with the V1.
