NOVA OPERATION 49
SD CARD OPERATIONS
On Novas fitted with an SD card reader, the entire memory of the Nova (all the scenes, chases, and shows on all pages) can be
saved for backup or library purposes, and restored later. Moreover each SD card can save a number of different copies
(“volumes”) of the Nova memory

24 volumes on the 24 channel Nova, and 36 volumes on the 36 channel version.
SAVING TO SD CARD
You can save the entire Nova memory to an SD card volume as follows:
1 Set the write protect switch on the SD card to Unlock (towards the contact end of the card)
2 Push the SD card, label uppermost, into the socket under the handle on the right side of the Nova
3 With the Record LED ON, hold [RECORD], then [UP] ( Edit UP ) , then press any Flash key on the top preset
After a short Mimic flash, the Page Display shows a dash ( - ) during the save process. If you pressed flash key 1, the Nova
memory is saved to volume 1 in the card, while pressing flash key 5 saves to volume 5 in the same card etc. A short Mimic flash
shows the end of the save with the return of the original page number. You can then remove the SD card (push to remove). To
prevent accidental overwrites, set the write protect switch on the card to the Lock position. As each card can store up to 24 (or 36)
volumes of Nova memory in the same card, it is advisable to
make a written note of the card and the volume numbers used .
RESTORING FROM SD CARD
You can restore the entire Nova memory from any SD card volume (saved from the same size Nova) as follows:
1 Push the SD card, label uppermost, into the socket under the handle on the right side of the Nova
2 With the Record LED ON, hold [RECORD] and [DOWN] ( Edit DN ) , then press the top preset Flash key of any
previously saved volume
After a short Mimic flash, the Page Display shows a dash ( - ), and the Nova starts restoring from the card. If you pressed flash
key 1, the Nova memory is restored from volume 1 of the card. If you pressed flash key 5, the memory is restored from volume 5
of the same card etc. A short Mimic flash shows the end of the restore process with the return of the original page number.
§
A long flash of the Mimic display during save or restore indicates an error. Error codes shown in the page display during the
flash are:
C = C ard not found; P = write P rotect on; F = F ile/volume ID error; E = E rrors during card initialisation/read/write.
§
Nova 24 and 36 volumes may be saved on the same card. Saved volumes can only be restored to the same size Nova.
§
As save and restore take a few seconds to complete, avoid SD card operations with lights live on stage.
§
Each SD card volume may be written 100,000 times without degradation. Read operations are unlimited.
§
SD card size can be from 16MB to 1GB. The Nova saves its data to SD card addresses starting at 800000H (8MB) so that if
the card is no longer required for Nova backup, it may be re-used in a PC after re-formatting.
