Thank you for purchasing the NEXTO VIDEO STORAGE-Air (NVS2825).
The NVS2825 allows camera operators to save footage from camcorders to a hard
drive without the use of a computer. The camcorder can then be used to record
new data. The performance of the NVS2825 has been optimized so that data can
be transferred from a memory card to the NVS2825 more quickly than to other
storage devices. Data stored on the NVS2825 can later be copied to a computer.
The NVS2825 supports professional video cameras from various manufacturers,
in addition to supporting a variety of memory card formats, such as: SxS,
CardBus (including P2/P2E), Compact Flash (CF), SD, SDHC, SDXC.
The NVS2825 also supports a Wi-Fi connection to an iPhone/iPad. The user can
then preview copied data on their device and use “Pre-Editing” functions such as:
OK/NG cut selection, Edit Index File (Note), and Mark In/Out during video play.
Please read this manual before using the product. Follow operating instructions
carefully to avoid damage to the product, or personal injury. This guide assumes
that your NVS2825 unit contains a properly formatted hard disk and a charged
battery. If this is not the case, please refer to the User Manual for instructions
on formatting a hard disk and charging the battery.

A "Li-Poly" (lithium-polymer) rechargeable battery is integrated into the NVS2825.
This rechargeable battery does not have the so-called "memory effect"--the
rechargeable battery can be charged whenever you want. Furthermore,
it has a higher energy content than conventional NiCd and NiMH rechargeable
batteries. Note these important instructions when handling the Li-Poly
rechargeable battery.
The rechargeable battery can be recharged 400 times.
If the battery operation time gets shorter, it may be time to replace the battery.
Consult your authorized NEXTODI dealer to replace the internal battery.
Caution
● Never damage the rechargeable battery--do not remove it from the

Back up data is stored in the "NvsAir" folder. This
folder is created automatically. The NVS2825
Search
generates a new folder for each memory card copy.
The name of the folder is determined by the shooting
date.
For example, 20121112.000 means the last footage
recorded on November 12, 2012. (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 NVS2825 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.

NVS2825 and your computer.
This chapter explains the “Copy” and “Verify” functions.
Insert a memory card into the corresponding memory slot. The slot for the
Cardbus memory card (including P2/P2E cards) is located on the top side of the
NVS2825.
The slot for the SxS card and CF/SD cards is located on the left side of NVS2825.
The CF/SD card must be used with a CF/SD card adapter which is included in the
NVS2825 box.
When copying from a memory card, the NVS2825 should not be connected to a
computer. The NVS2825 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.
Reference
Do not connect more than one memory card to the NVS2825. Only the
first one connected will be detected.
Insert the memory card carefully. The pins may bend if you insert the
memory card incorrectly.

The data on the memory card is compared
with the data stored on the NVS2825 hard
disk to determine whether it is new data or if
the data--or a portion of the data--has
already been stored on the NVS2825.
According to the comparison result, the
NVS2825 operates as follows:

The NVS2825 allows a user to copy a memory card to both the NVS2825 hard
drive and to an external USB hard drive at the same time, making two copies of
data in a single operation. The NVS2825 provides “Multi-copy” and “Sync”
functions to make backup more reliable.

Connect an external USB hard drive using the supplied USB 3.0 micro-B cable
during “XCopy ready” mode. Connect the larger plug to the USB 3.0 port of the
NVS2825. The NVS2825 will detect the device and check the external hard drive.
Reference
● When using Multi Copy & Sync functions, the capacity of the external USB hard
drive should be larger than 128GB. If an external USB hard drive--less than
128GB--is connected, the Copy Menu will be displayed when inserting a
memory card.
● Connect both the NVS2825 and the USB external hard drive to their AC power
adapters. If the NVS2825 is used to copy to another NEXTO backup device
(via the USB adapter cable) the NVS2825 will not need to be connected to the
AC power adapter. (Other Nexto backup devices include the NextoDI ND2700/

20. Troubleshooting Tips
IF THE POWER ON THE NVS2825 CANNOT BE TURNED OFF :
The On/Off Button can be used as a reset key. In the event of a hardware or software
malfunction, press the reset button for at least 7 seconds. This will turn the power off
safely so that the data stored in the hard drive will not be lost or altered.
Control Button
Press and hold
the key for more
than 7 seconds
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 NVS2825 by using the power (on/off) button.
First, turn on your NVS2825 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 NVS2825 asks [VERIFY?] A brief press of the power button will begin the
“Verify” process.
IF THE POWER CANNOT BE TURNED ON :
The NVS2825 has an internal rechargeable battery.
If you cannot turn on the NVS2825 with the On/Off
button, it may be that the internal battery has been
discharged. Connect the power adapter to the
NVS2825 and push the power button for several
seconds to turn the NVS2825 on.
Press once and
release
immediately
INSERT THE MEMORY CARD :
Insert the memory card carefully as shown below.
The pins may bend if you insert the memory card
incorrectly.

21. Battery Disposal
CAUTION: DO NOT INSERT SEVERAL MEMORY
CARDS AT THE SAME TIME :
Do not connect more than one memory
card to the NVS2825. Only the first
one will be detected.
RECHARGEABLE EXTERNAL BATTERY :
Even when the NVS2825 is turned off, the rechargeable external battery—if connected to
the NVS2825—continues to consume power. If you leave the battery connected, it will use
all the stored power. Then when you try to use
the NVS2825, it will not turn on.
Please disconnect the rechargeable external
battery when the NVS2825 is not in use.
IF A BACKUP ERROR OCCURS TO A COMPUTER :
When a video file stored in the NVS2825 cannot be copied or edited on a computer, the
problem may be a bad sector on the hard drive of the NVS2825.
If an error is detected, consult your authorized NEXTODI dealer or proper restoration
company.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries containing harmful substances are marked with the
following symbols: Cd=cadmium, Hg=mercury, Pb=lead. You can return batteries/

stores where batteries/rechargeable batteries are sold. Do not dispose of used batteries in
the household trash.
The Li-Poly rechargeable battery integrated into the NVS Air must be removed from the
housing prior to disposal. Please see your authorized NVS Air dealer for this service.
