Before Using

IEEE1394 card

TI or NEC chip based PCI IEEE1394 card

(For DV data capture)

Recommend PCI slot

RX-E1 Card should not share with other PCI devices in the same PCI bridge, i.e. RX-E1
should go to one of the two PCI slots that do not share the PCI bridge with the Gigabit
LAN, and the other PCI slot next to it should be left open.
The Intel SE7505VB2 motherboard has two PCI-X slots and one PCI64bit/66MHz
slot. The PCI 64bit / 66MHz slot is not recommended because it shares the Gigabit
controller.
We recommend using Intel 7505 Chipset when you install RX-E1 board.
When you have 2 or 3 route bridges, we recommend RX-E1 board should be installed
in PCI64bit / 66MHz slot that does not have any other branch, or in PCI-X slot.

Hardware Setting

Setting the Main Board

POINT

See the instruction manual for your PC (motherboard) for the PCI (PCI
Express) slot type.
The slot to set your EDIUS SP / SD / HD varies depending on the
product of your purchase.
See the instruction manual for your PC (motherboard) for the PCI slot type.
<EDIUS SP>
- Set the main board (SHX-E1) in the normal PCI slot (64bit / 66MHz PCI).
- 32bit / 33MHz PCI can be used when you edit only SD format videos.
<EDIUS SP-SDI>
- Set the main board (SHX-E2) in the PCI Express slot (PCI EXpress x1).
-W
 hen PCI Express x1 is not available, either PCI Express x4 or x8 can
be used.
<EDIUS HD/SD>
- Set the main board (RX-E1) in the normal PCI slot (64bit / 66MHz PCI).

POINT

EDIUS SP-SDI main board (SHX-E2) has a PCI retainer equipped. If

your PC has a slot which supports the full-sized PCI board, set the PCI
retainer to it so that it can retain the EDIUS SP-SDI board. If the board
does not seem to fit to a PCI Express slot of your PC because of the
PCI retainer, or if your PC does not have a hook to set the PCI retainer,
remove the PCI retainer from the main board without fail.
How to remove the PCI retainer
Remove three screws fixing PCI retainer with driver.

Hardware Setting

Before board setting, be sure that your work area is dust-free and dry. Prepare a Philips
screwdriver and an empty box for removed screws in advance.
Also, be sure that your PC is turned off and that the cables (including power) are
removed from the PC.
* The product components vary depending on the product of your purchase.

Audio cable (4pin-4pin)

Hardware Setting

For audio output, use the attached audio cable (4pin-4pin) to connect sound device in
output destination and the main board.
* Attached audio cable (4pin-4pin) branches off connectors with different type and
wiring specification. Connect the side without branch to main board, and the side
with branch to sound device in output destination. Use a connector that complies with
the connector type and wiring specification for connecting destination. If you cannot
use the attached audio cable (4pin-4pin), prepare another cable separately.

Output from sound device on board

Connect the audio cable to the terminal of motherboard.
* Note that onboard sound device (sound device installed in motherboard: for details,
see the instruction manual for your PC or motherboard) might interfere with the
board installed in slot depending on connector position of the device.

Output from sound board

Connect the audio cable to the terminal of sound board.

Setting HDBX connecting terminal

To connect HDBX to the RX-E1 board, you need to replace the SDI terminal of the RXE1 board with the HDBX connecting terminal. This section explains how to remove the
RX-E1 board already set in PC and how to replace the terminal. When the RX-E1 board
is not set in PC, see from step 4.

Notes

Static electricity can damage electronic components. Take care not to

touch connectors or cards directly. When installing or working on your
PC, first touch a grounded metal surface. This will discharge any static
electricity on your body.

Shut down Windows and unplug the power cable of your PC

before installation.

License Transfer

Transferring license
When you are using EDIUS on a desktop PC where the numbers of USB ports are
limited, or when you do not want to carry USB key, consider transferring EDIUS
licenses. Make sure to read and understand the following notes before transferring
licenses.
The procedure in Windows Vista is described here. The operation is same in Windows XP.

Notes

The license transfer tool must be executed on a PC where EDIUS has

been installed.
When you close the license transfer tool, make sure that the transferring
procedures of license have been completed. If you close the tool while
processing, your EDIUS license may be lost.
Please note that the USB key cannot be reissued no matter what the
circumstances (even when the license information exists on a PC). Keep
the USB key securely.
License can only be transferred between PC and USB key, or between
USB and USB. It cannot be transferred from a PC to another PC.
If you have several licenses of the same product, they cannot be
integrated in one USB key.
If you have transferred the license to a PC, there is a possibility that
the license may be lost because of the malfunction of a hard disk drive
or any other reasons. We recommend that you should not transfer the
license to a PC unless there is a compelling reason.
Note that when you have transferred the license to a PC, the registered
license data may become invalid if you change the hardware (CPU,
Memory, Motherboard, HDD, NIC, etc) configurations.

Using License Transfer tool

Set the USB key that contains the licenses you want to
transfer to a USB port of a PC.

52

Set the product DVD into the DVD-ROM drive.

Open "Tools", "EdiusLM" and double-click "EdiusLM.exe".

[EDIUSLM] dialog appears.

Click the "USB to PC" tab on the "EDIUSLM" dialog.

Select the license to transfer and click [->].

License Transfer

Transfer between a USB key and another

USB key

Click the "USB to USB" tab on the "EDIUSLM" dialog.

Select the license to transfer and click [->].

Remove the USB key, set the USB key to transfer the license
to, and then click [Refresh].

Notes

Make sure to remove the USB key where the license had been stored,
before setting the destination USB key.
When you change the USB keys, do not fail to click [Refresh] in order to
update the License list.

Select the license and click [<-] to transfer it to the new USB
key.

Wait until the license is transferred, and click [Close].

Notes
