MacroSystem Smart Edit 8 Release Notes - Manual (Page 2)

Smart Edit 8 can be installed as an update if the previous version is version 5 - 7. The project data remains un-
touched. Users of Smart Edit 4 or lower need to make a full installation. However, we do recommend that you
perform a full install of Smart Edit 8 at some point.
Make sure you use the correct Boot CD on boot machines (Gymnos, Claro, Renommee, Renommee Plus and Soli-
taire Plus) and the Product CD on Product CD machines (Avio, Kron, Prestige, regular Solitaire).
Installation on Avio, Kron, Prestige and Solitaire units
Power up your Casablanca and go to “System Settings” screen and click on “Install Product.” Then insert the All
Software CD into the DVD Drive.
Once the list of new software has been displayed, highlight Smart Edit 8.0 in the list, and click “Activate”. You
will be asked to enter in your Smart Edit 8 code when you attempt to update or install new SE 8 versions from
the Install Product menu even if you may have already licensed it before. This is a safety measure that’s been
added to the activation process of system software. Please keep this Smart Edit 8 license code number on hand.
Enter the 12-digit code, and then click on “OK.” Once completed, a message will ask you to remove the CD. After
you remove the CD, the system will automatically restart.
A menu will pop up asking if you would like to start the Installation. If you are currently running any version
older than 5.0, an installation will erase all data on your hard drive.
If you are running Smart Edit 5 or above, you will be asked if you wish to do an installation to keep your files cur-
rent. If you are doing what is called an “Update”, then choose “Yes”. This will keep all video and audio files (or
projects) current on the machine and just change your software version.
Click on “Yes” to begin the software installation. Once the installation is complete, the system will automatically
restart to the Main Menu screen.
Installation on Claro, Gymnos, Renommee, Renommee Plus and Solitaire Plus
The machine needs to be in the off mode. Make sure the proper monitor is connected.
Power up the Casablanca and immediately eject the DVD burner placing the Boot CD inside and then closing the
tray door. There will be a brief waiting period as the machine powers up and the disc spins up.
The screen may appear with a brief colored distortion, but then go right to a menu choice allowing you to choose
your “Installation Language”. Choose “English” and select “OK”.
If you choose “No” this will further prompt additional messages to warn you that you are clearing off the whole
drive and prepare it for a “Full Install”. Choose “Yes”, “Yes” to the next messages if this is the step you are trying
to do. Once the installation progress bar is complete, the tray will eject. Take the CD out and hit “OK”.
The Casablanca will reboot and take you back to the main menu. Check the System Settings menu in the lower
left hand corner to confirm you now have the proper system version on the machine.
NOTE: Do Not install Arabesk 1.x on a Smart Edit 8 system. If you have this
situation, please contact out Support Department immediately
Note for Avio Pro users:
Avio SmartEdit 8.0 also installs Avio Pro v3 and you should NOT also try to activate
Pro v1.0. If you do, you will lose some SmartEdit functionality that can only
be regained by a full re-install of Smart Edit 8.0.
