USING THE REMOTE WORKSTATION INTERFACE
MAXX 6T’s Remote Workstation Interface is a software application that provides IP control of the
server from PC workstations located within a facility.
A remote workstation can access one or more video channels of an Image Server to perform ingest,
playback, trimming, playlisting, traffic operations or monitoring of server activities.
Applications include—
• Control of an Image Server located in a machine room
• Ingest station for loading commercials and other content from tape
• Edit station for trimming content
• Building, editing and running playlists
• Remote control of an Image Server located at a transmitter site (“evergreen” backup)
• Access to file content and operations by engineering or management
• Control of more than one Image Server from a single workstation
• On a wireless network, an Image Server can be controlled by a secure
Wi-Fi enabled laptop computer
• Remote control in a conference room, or during auditorium presentations
• Image Servers may be securely controlled from a remote location, even across public Internet
connections, with inexpensive VPN (Virtual Private Network) technology.
A single Image Server may be controlled from many remote workstations, at different locations on
the network. See Figure 35.
Similarly, a single computer can run multiple Remote Workstations to control multiple Image
Servers.
Remote Workstation provides the same functionality as the local GUI with the following exceptions.
• Remote Workstation cannot access the servers Network configuration screen
• Remote Workstation cannot shutdown the server.
• Remote Workstation cannot access the RAID status display
• Remote Workstation cannot display MAXX 6T’s time-of-day clock.
