Terms associated with an Encore system include:
Client — A generic term for a software component that makes use of a
service provided by a server. For Kalypso systems, Encore client software
is included in the core Kalypso software installed on the Video Processor
frame, enabling machine control capabilities (once the interfaces are
installed and configured).
Server — A generic term for a software component that provides a service
to a client. As a machine control example, the VDRCS software residing on
a Profile VDR acts as a server, because it provides a service (clip loading
and playback) to the client (the Kalypso system software).
System Manager — The software application used for overall system man-
agement functions, including logon, access control, and configuration. On
a Kalypso system it typically resides on the Menu panel, but it may reside
on any PC on the network.
Database — A data set containing configuration information used by the
various Encore system components.
Sharer — An Encore software component responsible for distributing the
database configuration data to the various applications as they boot up.
The Sharer also acts as a coordinator between the clients and servers.
OUI — The Encore user interface, a Windows based menu system. This is
considered a client for machine control and other functions.
Engine — A generic term for a hardware component with specific capabili-
ties. For example, a Profile VDR is considered an engine, as is the Menu
panel or PC on which the OUI application runs.
Application — A generic term for a software component that can be loaded
and run on an engine. For example, the VDRCS server application is
installed on the Profile VDR engine hardware, while the OUI client appli-
cation can be installed on the Kalypso Menu panel engine hardware.
