3.3.2 Switching on
When taking the HYDRA COMPACT for the first time into operation, first the iSTUDIO – Hydra boot CD must be inserted
into the CD-ROM drive. Therefore follow the above mentioned steps:
• To switch on the H
YDRA COMPACT, press the power switch [5] on the front of HYDRA COMPACT.
• Check the state of the green LED power [7] on the front of H
YDRA COMPACT. It 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.
• 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 – Hydra boot CD R32875211 in the drive and close it.
• Switch off the H
YDRA COMPACT with the power switch [5].
• Switch it on again.
If the iS
TUDIO – Hydra boot CD R32875211 is already in the CD-ROM drive then just:
• Press the power switch [5] on the front of H
YDRA COMPACT.
• Check the state of the green LED power [7] on the front of H
YDRA COMPACT. It 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 COMPACT starts booting from the iSTUDIO – Hydra boot CD. The startup screen is displayed. By default
it shows the Barco logo together with the IP address of the H
YDRA COMPACT, which is displayed in the upper left
corner. (If the H
YDRA COMPACT 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 COMPACT is ready for
operation and a connection from an operator PC to the H
YDRA COMPACT can be established. This and any further
operation is explained in detail in the iS
TUDIO user’s manual.

3.3.3 Switching off
If the HYDRA COMPACT was operated with the iSTUDIO software it must be halted before it can be switched off.
Therefore use the command Halt module of the Module menu, please refer to the iS
TUDIO user’s manual, section
Module Control. This command halts the H
YDRA COMPACT. If you want to switch off all HYDRA COMPACT units of a wall
you also can use the command Halt wall from the Wall menu. When the H
YDRA COMPACT is halted it stops to send
an output signal to the projection modules and they show their original display, e.g. a black or blue screen. If so
the H
YDRA COMPACT can be switched off with the power switch [5] at the front of it.
