MediaDeck Component Replacement Guide
Verifying functionality
Harmonic recommends that you verify functionality of the replacement equipment in your Spectrum
system before using it on air.
Chassis replacement with Spectrum Management
Please contact Harmonic Technical Support when replacing a MediaDeck chassis.
DANGER:
Observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling Spectrum devices
and components.
Recording your MediaDeck settings
Record all server settings before removing the original MediaDeck.
IMPORTANT:
At this time, when replacing a MediaDeck, there is no way to preserve
players created with Spectrum Management. Any players on the original MediaDeck must
be reconfigured separately on the replacement MediaDeck. Make sure to record all player
and MediaDeck settings described in this section.
IMPORTANT:
If you need to replace a Spectrum video server that is configured for Polaris
Play: Playlist Control, contact Harmonic Technical Support for assistance with saving all
necessary settings so they can be moved to the replacement video server. Failure to save
settings such as Playout Channel configuration, playlists, and schedules, as directed by
Technical Support, before replacing a Spectrum video server could result in the loss of
those settings.
