Installation

3.2 Software Installation

Beside the files for software development, the DVS SDK software pack-

age also includes the Atomix HDMI board driver and tools for a basic

hardware setup and diagnostics.

For descriptions of the software and driver as well as their installations

please refer to the separate SDK documentation.

Once the software installation is completed, you have to activate the

feature set available for Atomix HDMI with the delivered license key.

3.3 Setting the License Key

This section explains how to set the license key on the computer system

equipped with Atomix HDMI. The license key activates the individual

features that you have ordered for your DVS product. After the SDK

and the driver are installed, you have to set the license key for Atomix

HDMI to be able to use the full feature set.

Atomix HDMI is capable of holding two license keys. The first key is

usually used for licensing the features that you have ordered with

Atomix HDMI. The second key is usually used for temporary licenses

that you may have received for evaluation purposes. Each license key

enables one or more (optional) features of Atomix HDMI until date of

expiration (if applicable). Each time Atomix HDMI starts the keys are

checked and their features are combined.

To set the license key(s) for Atomix HDMI you have to perform the fol-

lowing:

 Save the license key that you have received with Atomix HDMI in a

text file at a location of your choice on the computer.

 Open a command line (shell, or in case of Windows command

prompt (cmd)).

 Enter the command svram licence keyfile1 <text

file>. For <text file> insert the path and file name to the text

file that holds the license key.

In case the driver is not already loaded, load the driver. Further

information about this can be found in the separate SDK doc-

umentation.

In case you have several Atomix HDMI boards installed, use

the environment variable SCSIVIDEO_CMD and set it to

PCI,card:<x> (with <x> as the number of the board, nor-

mally counting from zero (0)) to access a particular board.

Please refer to the SDK documentation for details about setting

the variable SCSIVIDEO_CMD.
