Save to floppies
For systems where transfer via Ethernet cannot be used, MCS provides a
highly efficient means of transferring large animations and images via floppy
disk.
Note: All files should initially be saved to the hard disk as .OXA or .OXI
files.
A single animation can be saved onto a set of floppy disks, which can then be
loaded into the Imagestore unit. An extremely effective lossless compression
technique is used, which can substantially reduce the number of disks
required to transfer large animations. The resulting disk set can be loaded
into the Imagestore in any order, with the Imagestore automatically
prompting for the next expected disk. Only the following product software
releases support the compressed floppy disk format:
Logostore
all versions
Playstore version 1.16
Imagestore IS2 version 1.17 or later
Imagestore Solo version 2.13 or later
Imagestore 3 version 3.13 or later
Imagestore HDTV version 1.02
Note: Imagestore IS1 units cannot support the compressed floppy format.
Network Transfer
All MCS tools can directly transfer their output files to Imagestore units
equipped with Miranda Technologies Ltd. Ethernet interfaces, connected via
TCP/IP networking. For example, to transfer an image or animation, choose
Network Transfer from the File menu. A dialog will be shown which allows
you to select the destination Imagestore unit.
The ‘pull-down’ list contains all units listed in the units.txt file, described in
the section on configuring PC networking for Imagestores. You can transfer
