Never insert objects of any kind into the system through any system openings, as the
objects may touch dangerous voltage points, short out parts, and result in a risk of fire or
electrical shock.
Do not stack the system atop or below other electronic devices as this can cause heat build-up and
vibration of the system. These conditions can damage the system thereby voiding the limited
warranty.
Note: You may stack multiple Niagara Pro II units as these appliances accommodate stacking.
Do not install the system in any area where the temperature is less than 5°C or more than 40°C.
Transfer from temperature extremes may cause condensation. Let the system remain unplugged at
room temperature for at least 45 minutes before connecting it.
Use an outlet with surge suppression or ground fault protection when using the system. Unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet and disconnect the lines between the system and the video source
for added protection:
During a lightning storm
During dangerous weather conditions
When the encoder remains unattended or unused for long periods

Installing additional software
The Niagara systems run an embedded version of the Microsoft® Windows 7 operating system (OS),
which is a sub-set of the normal retail version. The Microsoft License agreement specifies that only
software intended for the specific function of the unit may be installed.
The Microsoft Update process is disabled by default to prevent interruptions during live streaming
events. It is also not advised to use a Windows installation CD to add features to the system or the
system may fail.
You also need to ensure the primary drive is not full or the system will fail. In the event of a
problem, you may need to perform a Factory Restore, which returns the system to the original
software load. You may save the current encoder profiles and reload them when the Factory
Restore is complete.
You can perform a Factory Restore at any time. This process returns the system to the software load
that came with the system. Perform a Factory Restore if the system becomes unstable due to
installed applications, viruses, etc. Please refer to the user guide for instructions.
ViewCast Support can provide assistance should the system fail to start. In most cases, you can
restore a system to operation without returning it to ViewCast. There is a fee in the event a user
returns a system due to applications the user installed or if the system failed because the primary
partition (drive C) is full.
Connecting to the Internet
The Internet is a dangerous place. Never connect a Niagara system directly to the Internet. ViewCast
recommends taking precautions against unwanted access such as installing Niagara systems behind
a router or firewall. The speed of the router or switch should match or exceed the speed of the
system’s network card. See your network administrator for recommendations.
