ESCRIPTION
When the GX server is switched on, the users can control the GX server from a
remote PC via a web-based application using a local network connection.
1. Users configure the server parameters from the web interface on the client PC.
2. Users import the original files (fill and key, audio) to the Raw Materials drive
(internal HDD drive) using one of the following methods:
o
Web interface on the client PC
o
DVD drive on the GX server
o
USB or eSATA connectors on the GX server
3. Users associate the original files, define synchronization parameters, and
upload them (switch them online) as GX clips onto the GX Clips drive (Solid
State Disk drive).
The files are then ready for playout.
4. When users start the GX server from the web interface, the GX clips that
correspond to the requested video standard are published to the switcher.
The operator can then select the requested GX clips and play them out using
the switcher. The switcher and the GX server communicate via a RS 422 link,
by means of a control protocol like VDCP.
Important
The use of the web interface and the transcode operations are not
possible while the GX server is started.
