4 If you do not have the listed prerequisite software installed, click Install. Otherwise,

click launch to open the File Processing Node application.

5 Before you can proceed, you must register the File Processing Node application as a

device in GV STRATUS Playout, but you do not need to assign it to a channel. For more
information, see

Creating a device

, on page 44. Copy the key provided for the device.

6 Once you have created the device in GV STRATUS Playout, you need to provide the key

to the File Processing Node application so it can register itself with the device that you
created. To complete the registration, provide the required information in the Enter
registration code
dialog box:

• In the Deployment list, click the name of the deployment to which you are

registering the File Processing Node application.

• In the Code field, paste or type the key provided by GV STRATUS Playout when you

created the device.

• Click OK.

7 Verify that the registration was completed. In GV STRATUS Playout open the Settings >

Device Settings page and find the device you created in the Devices list and verify that
it no longer shows as PENDING in the IP column. It should display the IP address of the
computer where the File Processing Node application is installed.
