Smart Edit 7 can be installed as an update if the previous version is version 5 or 6. The project data
remains untouched. 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 6 at some point.

Make sure you use the correct Boot CD on boot machines (Gymnos, Claro, Renommee, Renommee Plus
and Solitaire 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 7.0 in the list,
and click “Activate”. You will be asked to enter in your Smart Edit 7 code when you attempt to update
or install new SE 7 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 6 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 current. 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 ver-
sion on the machine.

NOTE: Do

Not install Arabesk 1.x on a Smart Edit 7 system. If you have this

situation, please contact out Support Department immediately
Note for Avio Pro users:
Avio SmartEdit 7.0 also installs Avio Pro v3 and you should NOT also try to activate
Pro v1.0. If you do, you will lose some SmartEdit 6 & 7 functionality that can only
be regained by a full re-install of Smart Edit 7.0.
