Note: ViewNet MX 1.53 must be installed for some of these features to be used.
Verify Option on Smart Copy
The MX-2424 now has an option to verify a Smart Copy. When initiating a copy, perform all functions as done
previously. There will now be a prompt that displays “Verify?” At this point “NO” can be pressed to skip the verify
function, and the copy will perform without verification. If YES is pressed the copy will be made in its entirety,
followed by a verification process that compares the new copy and the original material, bit for bit. If they match
exactly, the MX-2424 will display the message “Verify Successful!” If, the message “Verify Failed!” appears, the
copy will abort, and material being copied to the destination drive will be deleted.
If failed verifies are occurring, make sure to identify and fix your configuration before continuing.
Note to DVD-RAM Users: We have seen some DVD-RAM media failure when the disk inside the cartridge is
dusty. Make sure to keep DVD-RAM media in a clean environment and do not open the cartridge. Possible failures
include corrupt projects and failed Smart Copies/Verifies.
Note about queuing up Smart Copies and other disk operations: When queuing up Smart Copies always let the
copying process begin (getting through all confirmation requests) before queuing up further copies. This is
especially important when using the verify function or queuing up Smart Copies from ViewNet MX.
Additionally, on large projects or higher capacity drives, Disk Cleanup may take up to several minutes. Always
allow the MX-2424 to complete its operations and the BUSY LED to go out before initiating any further operations.
Locate Points Stored with Projects
Locate points are now automatically saved with the project. These locate points will remain with the project when it
is backed up in any manner. Additionally, locate points are stored with user settings. Thus, if there are a group of
locate points that need to be called up at various times, they can be stored in a user setting for immediate access.
