14.2 MINIMAL HARDWARE & SOFTWARE
CONFIGURATION
Only XT[2] servers with HCTX board with SDTI module and SDTI code can
be connected to the XNet network.
The XNet compatibility between versions is detailed in the release notes.
14.3 EVS MENU CONFIGURATION
The configuration of the different XT[2] servers connected to the XNet
network is done via the EVS Menu.
Press F9 to open the Maintenance menu, then select Configuration and
press ENTER to access to the Network area.
The following parameters can be set in the EVS Configuration:
SDTI
Possible values: [off / 540Mbps Relay / 540Mbps Non-Relay / 1485Mbps
Non-Relay]
This parameter makes it possible to enable the SDTI option and select the
bandwidth of the network.
On XT[2] servers, there are two pairs of SDTI connectors:
• XNet Relay connectors can be used at a maximum of 540 Mbps
• XNet[2] Non-Relay connectors can be used at either 540 or 1485 Mbps.
When connected on the SDTI network through Relay connectors, the SDTI
loop is always maintained, even if the XT[2] is not powered on. If connected
through Non-Relay connectors, the SDTI circuit is closed only when the
Multicam software is started.
Important
The SDTI bandwidth must be identical on all XT[2] servers
connected to the XNet.
If one system is configured with a different bandwidth, it will block
the entire network.
The Disk Block Size parameter must be the same on all XT[2]
servers.
