General Notes
R&S VENICE S
General Notes
Please observe the following general important notes:
● Computer hardware contains components that are sensitive to electro-
static discharge. If you touch them without precautionary measures, they
can be destroyed. Use a wrist strap connected to ground when
accessing electronic parts and take care of grounding the system. Avoid
touching the internal components of R&S VENICE S whenever possible.
● Performance Loss:
R&S VENICE S has been delivered to you fully preconfigured and opti-
mized for a real-time in- and output of video streams. Changing any of
the settings (e.g. the hardware, software and/or BIOS settings) may lead
to a loss of performance or may even render the system unusable. Re-
configuring R&S VENICE S anew in most cases is a lengthy procedure.
Modifications of settings i.e. BIOS settings shall be done with Rohde &
Schwarz.
● Data loss/corrupt data
In the event of a power failure the device will be abruptly switched off.
This can result in corrupt data, loss of data, and equipment damage.
Connect the system to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) redun-
dantly on two phases.
● Third-party Software:
VENICE is built for the most demanding realtime operations. Third-party
software might have unpredictable influences to the overall performance
and stability of the system. Do not install any third-party software that
has not been tested and approved by Rohde & Schwarz on your system.
● Real-time performance:
Use only the optional internal storage or external storage solutions which
are tested and released by Rohde & Schwarz to store video and audio
data. Other storage locations and solutions will be too slow for real-time
operations.
● Storage capacity exceeded:
In case of a full storage performance losses may occur. Leave about 10
to 15 % of the overall main storage capacity empty of data for perfor-
mance reasons.
● It is recommended to set up an e-mail notification, to ensure you get
informed when a hardware malfunction occurs.
Authentication Security
To ensure the safety of systems connected in a network and/or to the
Internet, we highly recommend to change the default password on both the
VENICE S server as well as the on the web UI of R&S®Device Manager as
soon as the initial setup is completed.
