1. Product Description

The NEXTO VIDEO STORAGE (hereinafter NVS1501) includes a 2.5”Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive and a Li-Poly battery. The NVS1501 provides the following functions:

1. Memory card backup

The NVS1501 contains a 2.5”SATA hard drive and a Li-Poly rechargeable battery. The NVS1501 can copy the contents of a memory card to the internal hard drive without a PC--even in the field where no electric power source is available. You can copy through the CF/MD card slot and SDHC/SDXC/MS card slot on the top of the device. For IKEGAMI GFPAK, you can copy through the USB_host port on the bottom of the NVS1501. For complete backup information, refer to Chapter 11 of this manual.

6. Button operation

All of the functions of the NVS1501 are controlled by two buttons, one for power (On/Off) and the other for function control (control key). The power button can also be used as a function key in some instances. For details on Power (On/Off) and control key operation, see chapter 8.

7. Bad Sector Recovery

When a video file stored in the NVS1501 cannot be copied or edited on a computer, the problem may be a bad sector on the hard drive. The NVS1501 has a sector recovery function which may recover the video file. For details on Sector recovery, see chapter 16.

2. Video/Photo Preview

The NVS1501 can display video footage taken with professional video cameras on a color TFT LCD. The NVS1501 provides a “best effort” preview of the video clip-that is, the resolution and speed may be lower than on a regular device. For details on Video Preview, see chapter 12.

8. Internal/External rechargeable battery

The NVS1501 contains an internal Li-Poly battery that enables the NVS1501 to be used without the power adapter. The power adapter is used to charge the internal battery, supplying power to the main unit. The external battery can be used to charge the internal battery. For details on Charging the Internal Battery, see chapter 7.

3. Multi-Copy

NVS1501 can copy the contents of a memory card to the internal hard drive and an USB external hard drive at the same time, allowing you to make two copies in a single operation using this function. For details of the Multi-Copy feature, see chapter 14.

4. Sync

The NVS1501 can synchronize the contents of a folder with the folder on an USB external hard drive. This allows you to make a secondary copy of the backup folder to an USB external hard drive without using a computer. For details of the Sync function, see chapter 15.

5. Computer connection

The NVS1501 can be connected via USB2.0, FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) to a corresponding port on a computer, in order to copy data. For details of Computer Connections, see chapter 10.

Search Folders

NEXTODI (G:)

Back up data is stored in the "NVSPRO" folder. This folder is created automatically. The NVS1501 generates a new folder for each memory card copy. The name of the folder is determined by the shooting

date.

For example, 20081112.000 means the last footage recorded on November 12, 2008. (If you copy multiple items on a single day, the last three digits will be changed to indicate the download sequence – “000, 001,002, 003, etc.) The date code comes from the video cameras. If the date setting on the video camera is incorrect, the folder name of NVS1501 will also be incorrect.

If a copying failure occurs, the copy is stored on your computer as a TMP folder. The TMP folder contains

the same file names, but the data may be abnormal. You may delete the TMP folder.

4. Disconnecting the NVS1501 from Your Computer

For Windows Right click the Storage device icon in the System Tray (lower right corner of your screen) and select “Safely Remove Hardware” or “Unplug” or “Eject Hardware”. Then disconnect the cable from your NVS1501 and your computer.

For MAC Drag and drop the NEXTODI icon to the trash. Then disconnect the cable from your NVS1501 and your computer.

11. Data Backup(Copy) and Verify

This chapter represents the ‘Copy’ and ‘Verify’ functions.

Insert a memory card into the corresponding memory slot. The slot for CF/MD/SDHC/SDXC/MS is located on the top side of the NVS1501. The Ikegami GFPAK flash memory device can be connected via the “USB-Host” slot using the USB cable.

When copying from a memory card, the NVS1501 must not be connected to a computer. The NVS1501 can copy a memory card onto the internal hard disk via the built-in memory slot or via the "USB-Host" slot connector with a USB cable. After the backup, the copy procedure can be verified. The data on the memory card and the data on the hard disk are compared with one another. This ensures that the data has been copied properly (“Verify”). You can choose the “New Copy” or the “Verify” function according to whether the contents of the memory card have been copied before.

Do not connect more than one memory card or USB external HDD to the NVS1501. Only the first one connected will be detected.

● Insert the memory card carefully. The pin may get bent if you insert

incorrectly.

13. Using An External Hard Drive

The NVS1501 allows a user to copy a memory card to both the NVS1501 hard drive and to an USB external hard drive at the same time, making two copies of data in a single operation. The NVS1501 provides “Multi-copy” and “Sync” functions to make backup more reliable. Users can also choose to copy from an external USB device (USB HDD / USB Card Reader) to the NVS1501 internal hard drive.

1. Connecting an external USB hard drive

Connect an external USB hard drive using the supplied USB mini-B cable during “XCopy ready” mode. Connect the larger plug to the USB HOST port of the NVS1501. The NVS1501 will detect the device and check the external hard drive.

The “Sync” function synchronizes data between the [NVSPRO] folder of the NVS1501 and the [NEXTO] folder of an external USB hard drive connected on the “USB Host” connector via USB cable. This function compares the folders stored in the [NVSPRO] folder of the NVS1501 and the [NEXTO] folder of an external hard drive. A new folder will be copied to the external hard drive only if a folder is in the [NVSPRO] folder of the NVS1501—but not in [NEXTO] folder of an external hard drive.

21. Troubleshooting Tips

IF THE POWER ON THE NVS1501 CANNOT BE TURNED OFF VIA THE ON/OFF BUTTON:

Press the RESET button using a toothpick or paper clip.

The RESET button will turn the power off safely so that the data stored in the hard drive will not be lost or altered.

IF THE CONTROL KEY IS NOT RESPONDING:

If you are unable to select an operation that involves the pressing of the control key in an up/down/left/right direction, you can still perform the [COPY] or [VERIFY] functions of the NVS1501 by using the power (on/off) button.

First, turn on your NVS1501 by pressing the power button for over two seconds. Next, place your memory card into the appropriate slot. When the LCD screen shows [SAFE COPY], briefly press the power button to begin copying. Please note that you will be initiating the “Safe Copy” function— which is slower, but is the most reliable method of backup.

When the copying is done, remove your memory card. Now re-insert the memory card and wait until your NVS1501 asks [VERIFY?] A brief press of the power button will begin the “Verify” process.
