b Notes on Version Compatibility
All networked computers (the Master and Slave computers) must have the same edition of DVR
Utility Software installed (i.e., either VA-SW8000 or VA-SW8000LITE).
The DVR Utility Software in this new version (either the Standard or Light edition) is not compatible
with any of the previous versions (VA-SW800/804/814/80LITE/81LITE), and therefore any Slave
computers currently running an old version must be upgraded to the new version. Note that the
hardware key (or serial number) from a previous version can still be used after the software has
been upgraded to the new version.

• Meeting the above requirements does not guarantee consistent, stable video feed; video may
not be correctly displayed due to a disturbance in sync signals.
• If the computer is underpowered or overloaded, the system may not function as expected,
typically failing to display video frames smoothly at the correct rate.
On the upgraded computer, you can use any DVR registration lists created in a previous
version by following a specific procedure (see P85).
