Chapter 3 - Configuring mediaHUB
Connections
To connect to your mediaHUB server, launch the mediaControl
application. By default. mediaControl attempts to establish the last
connection prior to shutdown. Since this is the first time you are
launching the application, click on the cancel button when it makes
this attempt. Once the application has launched, click on ‘Connect’ in
the navigation panel. You will be able to create a connection from this
screen. Each connection you create with mediaControl maintains its own
preferences and settings.
To create a new Connection, click on the New button.
Enter a Description for this connection. This is typically a simple
name for the server. It is best to limit this name to 15 characters so
that it is easy to manage in the navigation window. (ex. mediaHUB 1)
Enter the IP address of the mediaHUB server in the IP Address
input box and click the Save button.
To connect to the server, click on the Connect button on this
screen or double click on the connection description in the navigation
panel. When you are connected, you will see the words CONNECTED
TO [Description] appear in the top left section of the screen.
Source
Sources can be any Sony protocol tape deck, a DV-25 firewire
source or a live feed such as satellite or a newsroom source.
To configure your source, click on the Source link in the navigation
panel.
Control Interface: Select the type of source input you will be using.
None: should be selected if you are recording from a live feed (crash
recording) or have no control of input.
VTR: should be selected when connecting a Sony protocol tape deck via
the encoder RS422 on the back of the mediaHUB server.
FireWire: should be selected when your source is a VTR connected via
FireWire on the DV-25 port on the back of the mediaHUB server.
FireWire NLE: Should be selected if using mediaHUB with a Non Linear
Editor.
Note: To have source control over the VTR via the mediaControl
application, your VTR control switch must be set to Remote.
PreRoll: Select the number of seconds to pass before encoding begins. This
enables the source tape deck to become stable prior to encoding.
Select your preferences and click on the Save button. Once you
have a correctly connected source, you will see its status noted in the
Source Status on the Encode panel of the application.
