BROWSING FOR STILLS AND CLIPS
You can integrate FXDeko with Thunder and Lightning. Lightning is a high
performance, network based, image storage and management system, used in on-
air broadcast and production. Thunder works similarly, and has the added
capability to store and manage clips as well as still images. Once you install the
Thunder Browse software, you can open and edit a Lightning image in Deko,
associate a Thunder clip with a Deko graphic, and store Deko files in a Lightning
database on your Deko’s hard drive or a networked Lightning system.
To Install Thunder Browse:
1. Connect the Thunder dongle to the parallel port on the back of
your Deko. If you have any other dongle already connected,
connect the Thunder dongle to the back of the already connected
dongle.
2. Insert the Thunder CD in your Deko’s CD drive.
3. In the bottom left corner of the desktop, click Start, then Run.
4. Click the Browse button and navigate to the Setup.exe file on the
Thunder CD, then click OK.
5. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation. During
the installation, you will be prompted to choose Thunder or
Thunder Browse. Choose Thunder Browse.
6. Once the installation is complete, you must shut down and re-start
your Deko. From the desktop, click Start, then Shut Down, and
select Restart.
7. From the desktop, click Start, Programs, then Thunder Browse.
8. Thunder Browse prompts you to enter the Options Enable
password. Refer to the “Important Notice”, included with your
Deko documentation, for the password. Enter the password, which
is case sensitive, and click OK.
