ESD Susceptibility — Avoid handling the switcher circuit

Environmental Information
The equipment that you purchased required the extraction and use
of natural resources for its production. It may contain hazardous
substances that could impact health and the environment.
To avoid the potential release of those substances into the environment and to
diminish the need for the extraction of natural resources, Ross Video encourages
you to use the appropriate take-back systems. These systems will reuse or
recycle most of the materials from your end-of-life equipment in an
environmentally friendly and health conscious manner.
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use these systems.
If you need more information on the collection, reuse, and recycling systems,
please contact your local or regional waste administration.

Squeeze & Tease Overview • 5
Squeeze & Tease Overview
The Squeeze & Tease™ MD option consists of a carrier board and a number of
daughter cards that are installed into the frame.
In order to install the Squeeze & Tease MD option, you must upgrade the
switcher software, install the daughter cards onto the Squeeze & Tease Carrier
Board, and install the Squeeze & Tease Carrier Board into the frame.
Important — Although the Squeeze & Tease Carrier Boards
are hot-swappable, any Squeeze & Tease resources on those
cards that are being used, Flying Keys for example, will be lost
when the board is removed.
The hardware for the Squeeze & Tease MD option consists at least one Squeeze
& Tease MD Carrier Board. On this Squeeze & Tease MD Carrier Board, there
are slots for 4 Squeeze & Tease MD Cards, each providing 2 channels of DVE
resources, and slots for 2 Squeeze & Tease WARP MD Cards.
The total number of Squeeze & Tease MD cards you can use depends on the
number of MLEs you have and the switcher you are installing them into. Refer
to your Vision switcher documentation for the number of Squeeze & Tease MD
and Squeeze & Tease MD WARP cards you can install for each MLE.
Note — Squeeze & Tease MD DVE channel resources are
shared between both MLEs, the MLE-Pair, on the same Video
Processor Board. If all DVE channel resources are applied to
one MLE, there will be no resources available to the other MLE
in the MLE-pair.

6 • Software Upgrade
Software Upgrade
When a new board is installed, the switcher checks the current version of
software on the board. If the software on the board is the same as the software
on the switcher, there is no change. If the board has a software version that is
different than the version on the switcher, the switcher will upgrade the board to
the same version as the switcher. For this reason, it is important that you upgrade
your switcher to the latest version of software prior to installing a new board
into the frame. Refer to your Vision switcher documentation for information on
upgrading the switcher.
