VNR 100 • Introduction 2
The VNR 100 recorder is fully compatible with existing VNM Matrix products, including the:
• Extron 5-channel VN-Matrix recorder
• Extron VN-Matrix 2xx and 3xx codecs
• Extron VN-Matrix software decoder
• Extron VN-Matrix Enterprise Controller
• Extron VNS 104 Multi-Stream decoding software
VNR 100 Drives
The VNR 100 has two replaceable drives:
• Operating system (OS) drive — the OS drive contains the VNR 100 operating
system.
• Media drive — the media drive contains the video, audio, data, and whiteboard
information files that have been recorded by the VNR 100.
Both these drives can be replaced easily. Replacing the media drive does not require any
device specific data to be updated on the OS drive. For complete instructions on replacing
the drives, see OS Drive Replacement Kit (page 15) and Media Drive Replacement Kit
(page 18).
