Replacing the NVIDIA card with the Matrox card

  • Make sure you already created the recovery image for GV I/O and save the backup on your USB Recovery Flash Drive.
Do not do this task if:
  • You only use the GV I/O system for SD and HD work flows in your broadcast operation.
Do this task if:
  • You plan to have the UHD work flow in your broadcast operation.
For GV I/O upgrade to UHD support, you must replace the NVIDIA card with the Matrox M264 card, which provides hardware acceleration for UHD video work flows.
  1. Obtain GVIO-Prerequisites-5.x.zip file from ftp.grassvalley.com and unzip to a temporary folder on the GV I/O unit.

    This .zip file contains software components that will be used later in the procedure.

  2. Power down the GV I/O unit.
  3. Disconnect power cables from the GV I/O unit.
  4. Open the GV I/O chassis and remove the NVIDIA card.
  5. Insert the Matrox M264 card to replace the NVIDIA card.
  6. Close the GV I/O chassis and reconnect power to the GV I/O unit.
  7. After powering on the GV I/O unit and booting the system, change Embedded Security Manager to Update Mode.
  8. Install the Matrox M264 driver by executing the dsx-matrox-setup.bat script.

    The DSX-TopologyUtils-0.0.0.25499.exe file should be in the same directory as the script.

  9. Change Embedded Security Manager to Enabled Mode.
  10. Reboot the GV I/O unit.
