SECTION 1 : SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

ixview version 3.0 is an extremely powerful software release offering
features such as Automated EQ and Automation Editing. It’s common
with computer based systems that adding power to an operating system or
application requires added horsepower to run. It is typical when upgrading to a
more powerful computer operating system, that hardware upgrades are also
required. The Euphonix MixView operating system is no different in this
regard.
Your Euphonix system must meet specific hardware requirements before we
can ship your new v3.0 upgrade to you. The most obvious factors in determin-
ing v3.0 compatibility is that your Mix Controller must have a DSC installed,
running software no earlier than v2.4 and the MixView Platform must have a
minimum of 40 megabytes of RAM.
The next most important determining factors are the hardware revision and
factory ship date. Over the years, advances in technology have enabled us to
continually improve performance throughout our system by installing faster,
more efficient components. This is why the degree of hardware upgrade a
system will require can depend on its current hardware revision and ship date.
A few basic guidelines are provided in the paragraphs below to help you
determine what it will take to make your system v3.0 ready.
Systems shipped since July ‘96 will most likely require only the addition of 32
Meg RAM in the MixView Platform, one v3.0 DSC ROM and the v3.0 MixView
diskette to make it v3.0 ready. Prior to v3.0, the Euphonix MixView Platform
came equipped from the factory with 8 Meg of RAM. The added 32 Meg will
bring your system up to the required 40 Meg.
A document describing the RAM upgrade guidelines and procedures is avail-
able from Euphonix Customer Support Department. The RAM specification is
extremely critical. To insure optimal system performance, we recommend that
you purchase the RAM SIMMs directly from Euphonix. We are offering these
RAM SIMMs at fair market value.
If your system was shipped to you before July ‘96, additional hardware
upgrades will most likely be required before MixView 3.0 can be installed.
Please contact our Euphonix Customer Support Department at (415) 855-0400
for specific details.
