Before you begin
This section explains what you need to do to prepare your system for the
DigiUtils software installation.
Important
Make sure you’ve correctly installed your DigiSuite hardware
before attempting to install the software on your system.
Install your third-party software
To install the DigiSuite plug-in for a program, such as the plug-in for 3D
Studio MAX or Adobe Premiere RT, you must first install that program on
your computer. This is because DigiUtils Setup must locate the directory
where you’ve installed your program in order to install the plug-in for it.
You should avoid installing any software on your system’s A/V drives as
this may degrade system performance. If possible, use your A/V drives
exclusively for storing audio and video files.
Note
If you update your version of 3D Studio MAX, you’ll need to re-
install the DigiSuite 3D Studio MAX plug-in. If you update other software
for which you’ve installed a DigiSuite plug-in, you’ll need to re-install the
plug-in only if you place the new version in a different directory.
Check your Windows NT version
To run DigiUtils software, you must have installed Windows NT
version 4.0 with at least Service Pack 4 (Service Pack 5 is recommended).
If you aren’t sure which Service Pack is presently installed, do the
following:
q
Choose
Start | Programs | Administrative Tools (Common) |
Windows NT Diagnostics
.
The resulting message box displays your Windows NT version number,
followed by the Service Pack that’s presently installed on your system.
Set Administration permission level
In order to install or remove any DigiSuite software, you must be
configured as an Administrator in Windows NT User Manager. For details
about the User Manager program, consult the appropriate Microsoft
documentation.
