CONFIGURATION MANUAL XT2 Server 11.02
What's New?
This manual has not been subject to changes associated to new features in release 11.02.
Further to the new EVS branding, the look and feel of the web-based interface has
however been modified.
For the same reason, the look and feel of the configuration manual has also been
modified. In addition, some minor changes have been implemented.
What's New? V
CONFIGURATION MANUAL XT2 Server 11.02
1. Introduction
1.1. Introduction to the Configuration of EVS Servers
Configuration Module
The Multicam Setup application is used for configuration and maintenance operations on
EVS video servers. It is also used to select which application to run, since EVS disk
recorders have the ability to run various dedicated applications (Video Server, Slow
Motion, …).
The configuration module available from Multicam 11.00 has been developed along the
lines presented in this section.
Consolidation into a Single User Interface
The server can be fully configured from a single user interface.
The user interface includes:
• a setup section presented on one page with two main areas which give access to the
configuration lines and the most used maintenance commands:
1. Introduction 1
EVS Broadcast Equipment S.A. Issue 11.02.A July2013
• a configuration section for each configuration line. It is presented in seven tabs which
easily give access to all configuration parameters:
Simple User Interface
The user interface is simple and clear thanks to:
• the separation of basic and advanced parameters
The most commonly used parameters are displayed in a basic mode while more
specific parameters are hidden, and can be displayed when you toggle to the
advanced mode.
• the filtering of the parameters displayed
The parameters are only displayed when they are applicable to the chassis type, the
video standard and option codes.
Parameter Changes While Server is Running
Changes to most parameters can be performed and are taken into account while the
server is running.
Easy Audio Configuration
The audio configurations are open and easily configurable as it is possible to:
• modify the audio parameters while the server is running
• configure individual outputs for Embedded, Digital and Analog audio.
• configure audio monitoring settings directly from the Remote Control panel.
2 1. Introduction
CONFIGURATION MANUAL XT2 Server 11.02
Configuration Available from Server, Web and Remote
Panel
You can configure the EVS server using one of the three available tools:
• The server-based application (VGA) features all settings and commands for the setup
and configuration.
• The newly designed web-based interface is equivalent to the server-based application
and enables engineers to configure the EVS server remotely.
• The Remote Panel now includes:
◦ a technical setup menu that gives access to the most commonly used technical
settings.
◦ an operational setup menu that only provides operational settings.
The following table gives an overview on the features available in each user interface:

Configuration Manual Structure
The Server Configuration manual is organized in two sections:
• A section dedicated to the Multicam Setup window that mainly features:
◦ the configurations lines and their management
◦ the functions related to server administration and maintenance.
• A section dedicated to the Multicam Configuration window, organized in seven tabs,
which describes all server configuration parameters that can be defined for each
configuration line. The section includes:
◦ the parameter description itself
◦ other server-related information needed for the configuration
1.3. Starting the EVS Server
Introduction
When switching on the EVS server, the first step is the PC boot sequence, followed by
the boot of the video I/O boards, and finally the Multicam Setup application is started.
When Starting the EVS Server for the First Time
Before you first use your EVS server, you need to perform the following tasks:
• Define the configuration lines your EVS server should run.
For more information, see section "Configuration Lines" on page 11.
• Define the configuration parameters for each configuration line you will need.
In this step, you will define, among others, the channel configuration for the selected
configuration line, as well as audio and video parameters for the EVS server.
For more information, see section "Multicam Configuration" on page 44.
When Starting the EVS Server After Initial Configuration
After the initial configuration, you will select a configuration line and press ENTER to run
the server in this configuration. See section "Launching a Configuration" on page 11. As
soon as the EVS server is launched in a configuration, it starts the loop recording process.

1.4. Accessing the Web-Based Interface
Prerequisite
When the EVS server is started, you can access the web-based interface of the Multicam
Setup application for that EVS server from any computer that is on the same network
range as the EVS server. You can use any browser to open the web-based interface.
Procedure
To be able to open the web-based interface in a browser, you need to know the IP address
of the PC LAN of the EVS server. See section "Setting the Server LAN PC Address" on
page 25 for more information.
In your browser, enter the following URL: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cfgweb/ where the
crosses correspond to the PC LAN IP address of the EVS server you want to access.
