XFLY.STREAMER – Version 1.03 – User Manual
Network Broadcast Equipment – September 2013
Issue 2.0
XFly Streamer is a software dedicated to the backup of streams from one or several EVS
video servers (XT2, XT2+, XT3, XS, XTnano). XFly Streamer manages the backup and
transfer of all streams selected by the operator.
This manual describes the configuration interface, which is easy to use and
straightforward.
XFly Streamer acts as a user interface for the XSquare/XTAccess file transfer application
running in the background. XFly Streamer sends its commands to XSquare using the
SOAP jobs files.
Please refer to the XSquare Suite documentation for detailed instructions about this
application.
We recommend to install the XFly Streamer user interface on the same computer as the
XSquare/XTAccess file transfer application, so that XSQ Suite is dedicated to XFly
Streamer and is not used by any other application.
Important
XSquare/XTAccess is restricted to file transfer with wrapping when required,
but cannot perform any format transcoding.
XFly Streamer is able to communicate only with one single XSquare application at a time,
but it manages the backup of streams from multiple EVS servers.
XFly Streamer creates SOAP files corresponding to the backup of streams, grabs jobs
requested by the operator, and sends these files to the local XSquare application.
XFly Streamer must be installed on the same computer as the XSquare/XTAccess
applications. The streams to be archived are located on one or several servers and
storage units connected to the same network. Two networks are used for the various
communications and the transfer of files, as illustrated below. Physically, these networks
can be one and the same, or separate for the sake of performance:

The MTPC network is used to detect EVS servers, to identify them, and to
transfer the list of REC channels to be backed up.

The HCTX network is used to transfer the streams data between the XFly
Streamer and XTAccess computer, the EVS servers and the storage unit.
