Dear customer, Thank you for purchasing this NEXTO VIDEO STORAGE pro+ (NVSPRO+) product. NVSPRO+ product allows videographers to save footages from camcorders to a hard drive, without using a computer. The camcorder can then be used to record new data. NextoDI has optimized performance so that data transfers from memory card to NVSPRO+ more quickly than to other storage devices. Data stored on NVSPRO+ can later be copied to a computer. NVSPRO+ supports professional video cameras from various manufacturers, and memory formats such as SxS, CardBus Memory Card (including P2/P2E) and Compact Flash (CF) Card. Please read this manual before using the product. Follow operating instructions carefully to avoid any damage to the product, or any personal injury. This guide assumes that your NVSPRO+ unit contains a properly formatted hard disk and a charged battery.

1. Product Description

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

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

1. Memory card backup

The NVSPRO+ contains a 2.5”SATA hard drive and a Li-Poly rechargeable battery. The NVSPRO+ 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 SxS cards and CF cards (using a CF card adapter) through the ExpressCard slot on the left side of the device. You can copy Cardbus memory cards (including P2/P2E) through the Cardbus slot on the top of the device. For IKEGAMI GFPAK, you can copy through the eSATA_host/USB_host combo port on the bottom of the MVSPRO+. For complete backup information, refer to Chapter 11 of this manual.

2. Video/Photo Preview

The NVSPRO+ can display video footage taken with professional video cameras, such as the XDCAM or P2CAM, on a color TFT LCD. The NVSPRO+ 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.

3. Multi-Copy

NVSPRO+ can copy the contents of a memory card to the internal hard drive and an eSATAp/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 NVSPRO+ can synchronize the contents of a folder with the folder on an eSATAp/USB external hard drive. This allows you to make a secondary copy of the backup folder to an eSATAp/USB external hard drive without using a computer. For details of the Sync function, see chapter 15.

5. Computer connection

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

6. Button operation

All of the functions of the NVSPRO+ 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 NVSPRO+ cannot be copied or edited on a computer, the problem may be a bad sector on the hard drive. The NVSPRO+ has a sector recovery function which may recover the video file. For details on Sector recovery, see chapter 16.

8. Internal/External rechargeable battery

The NVSPRO+ contains an internal Li-Poly battery that enables the NVSPRO+ 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.

9. Internal hard drive

The NVSPRO+ offers these functions for the internal hard drive:

[Hard drive format] [Hard drive capacity check] [Hard drive self test]

For details see chapter 9 and chapter 17.

10. Firmware upgrade

When NextoDI develops new functionality—or offers support for new video formats--firmware is provided to users through the website’s download page. You can download the new firmware to a memory card or the internal hard drive of the NVSPRO+. You can then upgrade your NVSPRO+ using the firmware update function of the NVSPRO+. For details, see chapter 17.

7. Charging the Rechargeable Battery

ABOUT THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY CHARGING THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY

1. Internal battery

The battery can be charged using the AC power adapter unit delivered with this product.

① Turn off NVSPRO+. ② Connect the charger’s wall plug to the NVS’s "DC IN" slot. ③ Plug the AC power adapter unit into a wall socket. ④ The LED above the Control key shows red during the charging. ⑤ When the battery is charged, the red LED turns off. ⑥ If there is an error when charging, the LED blinks. If this happens, unplug the AC adapter unit and plug it in again.

Users can charge the NVSPRO+ via the USB/IEEE 1394b (FireWire 800) cable, or the AA battery holder.

With a completely empty rechargeable battery, the charging procedure lasts approximately 4 hours using the AC power adapter, or the IEEE 1394b (FireWire

800) cable. With the USB cable, charging takes about 7 hours. With the AA battery holder, charging takes about 10 hours. An AA battery pack charges about 40% of the internal battery capacity.

6. About the Rechargeable Battery

Reference

● You must turn off the NVSPRO+ in order to charge the unit.

● The NVSPRO+ can be charged via USB without using the AC power adapter

included in the box. A high powered USB connection is needed, i.e. a USB connection with its own power supply, such as the USB port of a computer or a USB hub with a power unit.

● If the NVSPRO+ is operated with a notebook, you must always use the AC

power adapter unit to charge the NVSPRO+. Notebooks may not deliver the necessary amount of current via USB

● The NVSPRO+ will operate for about two hours with a fully charged internal

battery.

● When connected to a computer using IEEE 1394b (FireWire 800) or USB,

the NVSPRO+ draws power from the computer, not the in ternal battery.

● If the NVSPRO+’s battery is completely discharged, the performance of

the battery may be degraded. It is recommended that the NVSPRO+’s battery be recharged before the battery gauge reaches the empty level.

● See Chapter 8 for more information on the battery gauge.

A "Li-Poly" (lithium-polymer) rechargeable battery is integrated into the NVSPRO+. 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 NVSPRO+. Consult the chapter on "Battery Disposal". Damaging the wrapping of the rechargeable battery might cause an explosion or fire.

● Never short circuit the contacts of the rechargeable battery. Never

touch the connections or electrical components inside the NVSPRO+ with metal objects.

● Charge the rechargeable battery regularly, even if you do not use

the product. The NVSPRO+ needs some "current" (a small quantity) at all times. Due to the Li-Poly rechargeable battery technology, it is not necessary to discharge the battery before recharging. Recharge the battery completely, about once a month. The device will be ready for use at any time.

Caution

● Car charger cable should be used only for charging the internal

(or external) battery.

Back up data is stored in the "NVSPRO" folder. This folder is created automatically. The NVSPRO 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 NVSPRO 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.

DATA BACKUP(COPY) AND VERIFY DATA BACKUP(COPY) AND VERIFY

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 the Cardbus memory card (including P2/P2E cards) is located on the top side of the NVSPRO+. The slot for the SxS card is located on the left side of NVSPRO+. The CF card must be used with a CF card adapter which is included in the NVSPRO+ box. The Ikegami GFPAK flash memory device can be connected via the “eSATA-Host/ USB-Host” combo slot using the USB cable.

When copying from a memory card, the NVSPRO+ must not be connected to a computer. The NVSPRO can copy a memory card onto the internal hard disk via the built-in memory slot or via the "eSATA-Host/USB-Host" combo 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 eSATAp/USB external HDD to the NVSPRO+. Only the first one connected will be detected.

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

incorrectly.

When you choose the verify function, the NVSPRO+ compares the data stored on the hard drive to that on the memory card. The verification logic entails a full bit-by-bit verification, and detects any differences.

: For verification, press the control key briefly

: Another option: press the control key for more than 2 seconds. Select to make one more copy of this memory card.

Two options are available for verification using left/right key selection.

Sample verify

Copy again. Make a new folder and copy all of the data in the memory card to the hard drive.

Copy

Delete the data on the memory card so that it can be reused. Delete

The data on the memory card is compared with the data stored on the NVSPRO+ 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 NVSPRO+. According to the comparison result, the NVSPRO+ operates as follows:

Make new folder and copy all the memory card data into the folder.

Before copying data, the NVSPRO+ verifies that its hard drive area is safe. If a bad sector is detected, a new, safe area is found – then copying [Fast Copy] will begin.

USING AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE

13. Using An External Hard Drive

Reference

● The capacity of the USB external hard drive should be larger than 100GB.

● Connect both the NVSPRO+ and the USB external hard drive to their AC power adapters. If the NVSPRO+ is used to copy to another NEXTO backup device (via the USB adapter cable) the NVSPRO+ will not need to be connected to the AC power adapter. (Other Nexto backup devices include the NextoDI eXtreme ND2700, the Nexto Video Storage ND2725, etc.)

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 eSATAp/USB combo port of the NVSPRO+. The NVSPRO+ will detect the device and check the external hard drive.

MAKING TWO COPY IN SINGLE BACKUP(MULTI-COPY)

Copying a memory card to both the internal hard drive and an external eSATAp/ USB hard drive at the same time makes two copies of data in a single operation. The “Multi-copy” function of the NVSPRO+ makes backup more reliable.

14. Making Two Copies In A Single Backup(Multi-Copy)

If the proper external hard drive is connected, the NVSPRO+ shows information about the drive. Quickly [S] press the key or wait 10 seconds-the NVSPRO+ will automatically go into the “Multi-Copy” mode. (If the external eSATAp/ USB hard drive connects before the power is on, the NVSPRO+ will go directly into “Multi-Copy” mode)

The remaining operation is the same as the “XCopy ready” mode. This mode can be exited by holding and pressing the key or by removing the eSATAp/USB cable from the NVSPRO+.

Insert the memory card when you are in the “MCopy ready” mode. The NVSPRO+ detects/ parses the contents of the memory card and asks you to confirm the mode of copy. Three options are available as in the normal XCopy mode. For details, see chapter 11.

: Copy: briefly press the key.

: Cancel the copy: press and hold the key for more than 2 seconds.

Duplicates new folder to external hard drive

Before duplication, the NVSPRO+ verifies that the copy area of the external hard drive is safe. If the copy area is not safe, the NVSPRO+ will automatically search for a new safe area and copy to that area.

Fast Copy

Safe Copy

The NVSPRO+ compares the [NVSPRO] folder of the internal hard drive and the [NEXTO] folder of the external hard drive. If there is data in the [NVSPRO] but not in the [NEXTO] folder, th en the NVSPRO+ copies those folders from the internal hard drive to the [NEXTO] folder of the external hard drive. The end result is that the two folders—on both the NVSPRO+ and the external hard drive—contain the same information

If an error occurs during the “Sync” function, the NVSPRO+ will automatically shut down and display an error message at the next power up-- as shown in the figure. Press the control key upwards to go back to the main menu.

The “Sync” function synchronizes data between the [NVSPRO] folder of the NVSPRO+ and the [NEXTO] folder of an external eSATAp/USB hard drive connected on the “eSATA/USB Host” connector via eSATAp or USB cable. This function compares the folders stored in the [NVSPRO] folder of the NVSPRO+ 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 NVSPRO+— but not in [NEXTO] folder of an external hard drive.

This index file is in HTML format and can be accessed via a computer using the web browser. The HTML file (NEXTOIDX.HTM) is stored in the root directory of the NVSPRO+. To access a video file, simply connect the NVSPRO+ to a computer and double-click on the NEXTOIDX.HTM file in the root directory.

IF THE POWER ON THE NVSPRO+ 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 NVSPRO+ by using the power (on/off) button.

First, turn on your NVSPRO+ 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 NVSPRO+ asks [VERIFY?] A brief press of the power button will begin the “Verify” process.
