3.3.2 Switching on 

When taking the H

YDRA 

C

OMPACT

 for the first time into operation, first the iS

TUDIO

 CD ROM must be inserted into the 

D ROM must be inserted into the 

CD-ROM drive. Therefore follow the above mentioned steps: 

• 

To switch on the H

YDRA 

C

OMPACT

, press the power switch [5] on the front of H

YDRA 

C

OMPACT

.  

• 

Check the state of the green LED power [7] on the front of H

YDRA 

C

OMPACT

. It must be permanently on to ind

y on to indi-

cate that the power supply operates properly. If this is not the case, see section 

7.1 Hydra Compact does not start 

up

 please. 

• 

Open the CD-ROM drive [6]. If the CD-ROM drive does not stay open, retry opening it until it stays open.  

• 

Insert the iS

TUDIO

 CD in the drive and close it.  

• 

Switch off the H

YDRA 

C

OMPACT

 with the power switch [5]. 

• 

Switch it on again.  

If the iS

TUDIO

 CD-ROM is already in the CD-ROM drive then just: 

• 

press the power switch [5] on the front of H

YDRA 

C

OMPACT

• 

Check the state of the green LED power [7] on the front of H

YDRA 

C

OMPACT

. It must be permanently on to ind

must be permanently on to indi-

cate that the power supply operates properly. If this is not the case see section 

7.1 Hydra Compact does not start 

up

 please. 

Now the H

YDRA 

C

OMPACT

 starts booting from the iS

TUDIO

 CD. The startup screen is displayed. By default it shows the 

Barco logo together with the IP address of the H

YDRA 

C

OMPACT

, which is displayed in the upper left corner. (If the 

H

YDRA 

C

OMPACT

  already  has  been  configured  also  another  startup  screen  could  appear,  dependent  on  the 

configuration  of  the  startup  layout.)  As  soon  as  the  start  screen  is  displayed  the  H

YDRA 

C

OMPACT

  is  ready  for 

operation and a connection from an operator PC to the H

YDRA 

C

OMPACT

 can be established. This and any further 

operation is explained in detail in the iS

TUDIO

 user’s manual.
