Preface
This manual provides installation, setup and operating instructions for 360 Systems’
TSS MINI Multi-Format Video Server. It is organized to provide quick access to topics of primary
interest. An extensive Table of Contents is provided at the beginning, and a subject Index at the
end, to assist in locating information.
If you have already used other video servers or VTRs, you may find discussion of the basic
server to be covering familiar topics. However, it is strongly recommended that engineering
managers and staff members operating the server read through this manual. Being familiar with
its operation can prevent operational mistakes, and will make all users aware of important set-
up and maintenance issues.
Software and Operations Manual Revisions
Software revisions are released from time-to-time that introduce new product features, or
improve the performance of the product. When such revisions are shipped as a USB flash drive,
printed operational notes are included. When revisions are introduced in the course of product
production, an updated Operations Manual will be shipped with new servers.
The title page of an Operations Manual indicates its revision number, which should always
match the software revision of the server with which it is used. Operations Manuals for the
latest revision may be obtained from 360 Systems Customer Service, or from 360 Systems’ web
site.
Your comments are welcome. If anything in this manual seems unclear, please let us know
by sending an email to support@360systems.com.
Typographical Conventions
The following typographical conventions are used to clarify meaning:
Connector or indicator labeling that appears on the unit is shown in Arial Narrow Bold.
GUI menu items are shown in Arial Bold.
GUI sub-menu paths are shown by the > symbol.
Text typed into the GUI and Key Commands are shown in Courier Bold.

Product Damage Precautions
360 Systems’ TSS MINI Multi Format Video Server contains hard disk drives and other fragile
electronic and mechanical devices. While designed to be very reliable, it is still vulnerable to
shock. Handle with care, and exercise caution not to drop or bump the server as damage to
internal components may result. Always turn off power before moving the server.
Do not obstruct air vents. Maintain an ambient temperature below 30C (86F).
Clean only with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not spray cleaners or solvents directly
on the product.
CAUTION:
Replace the motherboard battery only with the same or equivalent battery type.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Discard used
batteries according to manufacturer’s instructions. Follow all local laws regarding the
disposal of BR and CR Lithium batteries. Batteries should be fully discharged prior to
disposal.
CAUTION:
Never disconnect AC power to shutdown the server. Doing so may cause errors in the
hard disk array. Should this happen, the array can be reinitialized without any data
loss; however, the process may take several hours. Shutdown the system only by
momentarily pressing the front panel power button, or through the On-Screen user
interface.
