OVERVIEW
The CompactFlash card can be removed by pressing the black eject button at the left side and pulling
the card out. New test pattern files can be written onto the CompactFlash by installing it into the
CompactFlash reader attached to any laptop or computer. The files can be copied into the
CompactFlash from the Evertz website. These test signal files are a custom Evertz .evt format. When
the CompactFlash is re-installed in the 5601MSC, it will automatically reload the test signals set. It is
not necessary to reboot or power off 5601MSC. Alternativly, test signal files can be upgraded using
FTP.
