1.3.Starting the EVS Server

Introduction

WhenswitchingontheEVS server, thefirst stepis thePC boot sequence, followedby theboot of thevideoI/Oboards, andfinally theMulticamSetupapplicationis started.

When Starting the EVS Server for the First Time

Beforeyoufirst useyourEVS server, youneedtoperformthefollowingtasks:

•Definetheconfigurationlines yourEVS servershouldrun. Formoreinformation, seesection"ConfigurationLines" onpage11.

•Definetheconfigurationparameters foreachconfigurationlineyouwill need.

Inthis step, youwill define, amongothers, thechannel configurationfortheselected configurationline, as well as audioandvideoparameters fortheEVS server.

Formoreinformation, seesection"MulticamConfiguration" onpage44.

When Starting the EVS Server After Initial Configuration

Aftertheinitial configuration, youwill select aconfigurationlineandpress ENTER torun theserverinthis configuration. Seesection"LaunchingaConfiguration" onpage11. As soonas theEVS serveris launchedinaconfiguration, it starts thelooprecordingprocess.
