Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the NEXTO VIDEO STORAGE-Air (NVS2825).
The NVS2825 allows camera operators to save footage from camcorders to a hard
drive without the use of a computer. The camcorder can then be used to record
new data. The performance of the NVS2825 has been optimized so that data can
be transferred from a memory card to the NVS2825 more quickly than to other
storage devices. Data stored on the NVS2825 can later be copied to a computer.
The NVS2825 supports professional video cameras from various manufacturers,
in addition to supporting a variety of memory card formats, such as: SxS,
CardBus (including P2/P2E), Compact Flash (CF), SD, SDHC, SDXC.
The NVS2825 also supports a Wi-Fi connection to an iPhone/iPad. The user can
then preview copied data on their device and use “Pre-Editing” functions such as:
OK/NG cut selection, Edit Index File (Note), and Mark In/Out during video play.
Please read this manual before using the product. Follow operating instructions
carefully to avoid damage to the product, or personal injury. This guide assumes
that your NVS2825 unit contains a properly formatted hard disk and a charged
battery. If this is not the case, please refer to the User Manual for instructions
on formatting a hard disk and charging the battery.

Right click the Storage device icon in the System Tray (lower right corner of your
screen) and select “Safely Remove Hardware” or “Unplug” or “Eject Hardware”.
Then disconnect the cable from your NVS2825 and your computer.
For MAC
Drag and drop the NEXTODI icon in the trash. Then disconnect the cable from the
NVS2825 and your computer.
10.3. Browsing the contents of your hard drive
If your computer detects the NVS2825 correctly, a new drive named [NEXTODI]
will appear on “My Computer.”
This chapter explains the “Copy” and “Verify” functions.
Insert a memory card into the corresponding memory slot. The slot for the
Cardbus memory card (including P2/P2E cards) is located on the top side of the
NVS2825.
The slot for the SxS card and CF/SD cards is located on the left side of NVS2825.
The CF/SD card must be used with a CF/SD card adapter which is included in the
NVS2825 box.
When copying from a memory card, the NVS2825 should not be connected to a
computer. The NVS2825 can copy a memory card onto the internal hard disk via
the built-in memory slot or via the “USB-Host" slot connector with a USB cable.
After the backup, the copy procedure can be verified. The data on the memory
card and the data on the hard disk are compared with one another. This ensures
that the data has been copied properly (“Verify”). You can choose the
“New Copy” or the “Verify” function according to whether the contents of the
memory card have been copied before.
Reference
Do not connect more than one memory card to the NVS2825. Only the
first one connected will be detected.
Insert the memory card carefully. The pins may bend if you insert the
memory card incorrectly.

11.1. Parsing the memory
The data on the memory card is compared
with the data stored on the NVS2825 hard
disk to determine whether it is new data or if
the data--or a portion of the data--has
already been stored on the NVS2825.
According to the comparison result, the
NVS2825 operates as follows:

TMP.001
Hard Disk Drives
Back up data is stored in the "NvsAir" folder. This
folder is created automatically. The NVS2825
generates a new folder for each memory card copy.
The name of the folder is determined by the shooting
date.
For example, 20121112.000 means the last footage
recorded on November 12, 2012. (If you copy multiple
items on a single day, the last three digits will be
changed to indicate the download sequence –
“000, 001,002, 003, etc.) The date code comes from
the video cameras. If the date setting on the video
camera is incorrect, the folder name of NVS2825 will
also be incorrect.
If a copying failure occurs, the copy is stored on your
computer as a TMP folder. The TMP folder contains
the same file names, but the data may be abnormal.
You may delete the TMP folder.

Copying a memory card to both the internal hard drive and an external USB hard
drive at the same time makes two copies of data in a single operation. The
“Multi-copy” function of the NVS2825 makes backup more reliable.
14. Making Two Copies In A Single Backup (Multi-Copy)
If the proper external USB hard drive is
connected, the NVS2825 shows “Multi-Copy”
mode. (If the external USB hard drive connects
before the power is on, the NVS2825 will go
directly into “Multi-Copy” mode)
The remaining operation is the same as the
“XCopy ready” mode. This mode can be exited
by holding and pressing the key or by removing
the USB cable from the NVS2825.
Insert the memory card when you are in the
“MCopy ready” mode. The NVS2825 detects/
parses the contents of the memory card and
asks you to confirm the mode of copy. Three
options are available as in the normal XCopy
mode(Fast Copy, Copy & Verify, Safe Copy).
For details, see chapter 11.
: Copy: briefly press the key.
: Cancel the copy: press and hold the key for
more than 1 second.
When Multi-Copy is in progress, do not remove
the memory card or disconnect the USB external
hard drive.

The “Sync” function synchronizes data between the [NvsAir] folder of the
NVS2825 and the [NvsAir] folder of an external USB hard drive connected to the
“USB 3.0 Host” connector via the USB 3.0 cable. This function compares the
folders stored in the [NvsAir] folder of the NVS2825 with the [NvsAir] folder of
an external hard drive.
A new folder can only be copied to the external hard drive if it resides in the
NvsAir folder of the NVS2825 unit—but not in the external hard drive.
15. Making A Secondary Copy (Sync)
A user can select two modes of duplication, fast
copy or safe copy. Highlight the desired mode
using the up/down key, then briefly press to select
the mode. Press and hold the key [L] to cancel the
operation and go back to the main menu.
Move to “SYNC” on the main menu and select it.
After selecting SYNC from the menu, NVS2825 shows
“SYNC” mode as left.
Connect the external USB hard drive to the
[USB3.0-Host] port of the NVS2825 as shown in
chapter 13.
If a proper external hard drive is connected, the
NVS2825 will display the status of that drive.
Press the control key to select and NVS2825 will display

232.6 GB The NVS2825 compares the [NvsAir] folder of the
internal hard drive with the [NvsAir] folder of the
external hard drive. If there is data in the [NvsAir] folder
of the internal hard drive that is not in the [NvsAir] folder
of the external hard drive, then the NVS2825 copies those
folders from the internal hard drive to the [NvsAir] folder
of the external hard drive. Thus, all of the data from the
backup folder of the internal hard drive would be copied
onto the external hard drive. However, the data from the
external hard drive would not be copied onto the
NVS2825’s internal hard drive.
If an error occurs during the “Sync” function,
the NVS2825 will automatically shut down and display an
error message at the next power up-- as shown in the
figure. Press the control key upwards to go back to the
main menu.
