MediaFrame server instructions
The central component of the system is the MediaFrame server. Depending on the
design of your system, it can host the following software components:
• The Aurora Browse application for user interaction
• The Rules Wizard for background processing
• Managed Device Interface services and the MediaFrame database for holding asset
related information in the system
The server connects to all encoders and the Network Attached Storage via the
network. Refer to the system diagrams in
Chapter 1, System Overview . The client
network is available for access to the web application.
For the MediaFrame server you have the option of the regular Dell-based platform, as
explained in this section, or the HAAR platform, as explained in
“MediaFrame server
instructions: HAAR platform” on page 18 .
The K2 BaseCamp Express also uses the Dell 2950, so the process of cabling is the
same for the MediaFrame server or the K2 BaseCamp Express. For more information
on the K2 BaseCamp Express, see
Appendix B, K2 BaseCamp Express .
