Grass Valley Prelude v.3.0 - Manual (Page 12)

12 Prelude — Instruction Manual
Section 1 — Prelude System Overview
Prelude software applications are installed onto a customer supplied PC to
permit software updates and system configuration. After system configu-
ration is complete, the PC can be used for monitoring the health of the
panels and matrix, but is no longer required and so may be removed for use
elsewhere. The Prelude configuration software is activated on a PC after its
installation by entering a registration code, which is valid for only that PC.
Prelude systems employ a distributed control system. Router configura-
tions are stored in the Prelude control panels. These router configuration
files list the IP addresses of the matrices in that Prelude system, as well as
Level information and Source and Destination names. A copy of this router
configuration is sent from the panel to the matrices with the IP addresses
listed in that configuration. In fact, a Prelude control panel automatically
sends its router configuration to the matrices whenever that panel reboots.
Identical router configurations must be present on all control panels for
proper Prelude system operation.
