Overview
EDIUS XRE Overview
EDIUS XRE is a system for having a networked external PC perform
rendering processes when exporting a project created in EDIUS. On
an EDIUS edit terminal, you can perform another task as soon as
you request an external PC to perform a rendering process, without
waiting until the exporting process is complete.
Three elements comprising EDIUS XRE
Each rendering process you request from an EDIUS edit terminal is
called a "rendering job". EDIUS XRE has networked PCs which have
the following three different roles assigned to process rendering jobs.
¾ Client
It is an edit terminal where EDIUS is installed. It requests the
controller to perform a rendering job.
¾ Controller
It receives a rendering job request from a client, looks for an engine
that can perform the task, and assigns the rendering job to it.
The controller communicates with engines periodically. If a response
is lost from an engine, the controller will assign the rendering job
assigned to the engine to another one and have it performed again.
¾ Engine
It receives an instruction from the controller and processes a rendering
job.
