VIDEO STORAGE pro+

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. If this is not the case, refer to the User Manual for instructions
on formatting a hard disk and charging the battery.

1. Product Description
01 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 02
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
09 ABOUT THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY CHARGING THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY 10
1. Internal battery
The battery can be charged using the AC power adapter unit delivered with this
product.
①Turn off NVSPRO+.
②Connect the charger’s wall plug to the NVS’s "DC IN" slot.
③Plug the AC power adapter unit into a wall socket.
④The LED above the Control key shows red during the charging.
⑤When the battery is charged, the red LED turns off.
⑥If 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 internal 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.

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.

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.

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,

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

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

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, then 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.
