Pre-installation checks
SCSI Devices
Some SCSI cards/onboard controllers have their own utilities. Adaptec SCSI
cards have a utility that can be accessed before the BIOS starts up when
powering on your PC. Use “control A” to access SCSI utilities.
If you intend to run your disk array as a software stripe you will need to make
sure that ‘host RAID’ is disabled. Use the “Disk Management” tool in “Computer
Management” within Windows XP™ to set up your software RAID, or refer to
third party instructions when using pre-configured hardware RAIDs.
Onboard SCSI controllers can also be used.
QuickTime™
Make sure the latest version of QuickTime™ is installed on your PC.
QuickTime™ can be found at www.apple.com/quicktime
Software Applications
DeckLink cards work with applications such as Adobe Premiere Pro®,
Adobe After Effects® and Discreet Combustion™. The DeckLink installler will
install components into some of these applications. If you install or update
these applications after installing your DeckLink card, you should reinstall the
DeckLink drivers to ensure these applications will work with your DeckLink card.
Having software applications pre-installed will simplify the installation of your
DeckLink card.
