1.3. Starting the EVS Server
Introduction
When switching on the EVS server, the first step is the PC boot sequence, followed by
the boot of the video I/O boards, and finally the Multicam Setup application is started.
When Starting the EVS Server for the First Time
Before you first use your EVS server, you need to perform the following tasks:
• Define the configuration lines your EVS server should run.
For more information, see section "Configuration Lines" on page 11.
• Define the configuration parameters for each configuration line you will need.
In this step, you will define, among others, the channel configuration for the selected
configuration line, as well as audio and video parameters for the EVS server.
For more information, see section "Multicam Configuration" on page 44.
When Starting the EVS Server After Initial Configuration
After the initial configuration, you will select a configuration line and press ENTER to run
the server in this configuration. See section "Launching a Configuration" on page 11. As
soon as the EVS server is launched in a configuration, it starts the loop recording process.
