Chapter 5 Installing and Verifying Avid System Software

Installing the Avid System Software

Use the Avid NewsCutter Release Notes to install the Avid NewsCutter

application software. During the installation, the drivers needed for the

Avid boards are installed with the NewsCutter application software. Note

the recommendations that suggest:

It is very important you use the release notes and the CD-ROM that ships

with your specific system to install the Avid system software. The release

notes tell you how to install the Avid system software, and also explain any

last-minute details relating to problems or new procedures you must follow

during the installation of the Avid system software.

Installing the Edit Display Controller Board Driver

If you purchased your Avid system as a new system, the driver is already

installed. You need to install the edit display controller board driver only if

you are upgrading.

The edit display controller board driver is included with the NewsCutter

Release 3.x software. You must apply this driver if you are upgrading your

NewsCutter software to this release. After installing NewsCutter

Release 3.x software, install the Avid display controller Number Nine

driver from the Display Properties window, and then reboot the system

when instructed.

Although the edit display controller board was assigned a driver during the

Windows 2000 installation, you must install the Avid-specific edit display

controller driver (EDC). When instructed during the procedure, restart the

system so the drivers are installed by the operating system.

Avid has shipped different types of edit display controllers that use one of

two display drivers:

• EDC3 driver (older version, not used)

• EDC4 driver
