Pre-installation checks
SCSI Devices
Check the web site of your SCSI card vendor for the latest rmware and
drivers. Firmware and drivers for the ATTO UL3D and UL4D can be found at
www.attotech.com. Sometimes rmware updates are also released for SCSI
disk arrays. Firmware for disk arrays from Huge Systems can be found at
www.hugesystems.com.
If you intend to run your disk array as a software stripe, you can use Apple’s
Disk Utility which is located in the /Applications/Utilities folder of Mac OS X.
Use RAID tab in Disk Utility to set up your software RAID, or refer to third party
instructions when using pre-congured hardware RAIDs.
QuickTime™
Make sure the latest version of QuickTime™ is installed on your Mac.
QuickTime™ can be found at www.apple.com/quicktime. A QuickTime™ Pro
serial number is included with Final Cut Pro HD as this is required to unlock
many QuickTime™ features.
Software Applications
DeckLink cards work with applications such as Final Cut Pro HD™, Adobe
After Effects™ and Discreet Combustion™. The DeckLink installer will install
components into some of these applications. If you install or update these
applications after installing your DeckLink card, you should reinstall the
DeckLink drivers to ensure these applications will work with your DeckLink card.
Having software applications pre-installed will simplify the installation of your
DeckLink card.
