Understanding the System Self-Test

The Aurora Edit workstation runs a System Self-Test automatically each time that
you boot the workstation. The System Self Test looks at three areas:

• Software Installation—Checks for the correct version of K2 software, Direct X

driver, operating system, video drivers, and export and cache service.

• System Configuration—Checks for the correct version of the video board,

Breakout Box firmware, audio renderer, and the VMR.

• AV Disk Performance—Tests the media drives input and output performance.

As the System Self-Test runs, you see the results in the System Self-Test window:

Each area tested can have one of three results:
