1.1.Introduction to the Configuration of EVS Servers

New Configuration Module

TheMulticamSetupapplicationis usedforconfigurationandmaintenanceoperations on EVS videoservers. It is alsousedtoselect whichapplicationtorun, sinceEVS disk recorders havetheability torunvarious dedicatedapplications (VideoServer, Slow Motion, …).

Withthereleaseof Multicam11, anew configurationmodulehas beenimplemented aimingat simplifyingandclarifyingtheEVS servermanagement andconfigurationtasks.

Thenew configurationmodulehas beendevelopedalongthelines presentedinthis section.

Consolidation into a Single User Interface

Theservercannow befully configuredfromasingleuserinterface.

Theuserinterfaceincludes:

•asetupsectionpresentedononepagewithtwomainareas whichgiveaccess tothe configurationlines andthemost usedmaintenancecommands:

1.Introduction

•aconfigurationsectionforeachconfigurationline. It is presentedinseventabs which easily giveaccess toall configurationparameters:

Simplification of the User Interface

Theuserinterfacehas beensimplifiedthanks to:

•theseparationof basic andadvancedparameters

Themost commonly usedparameters aredisplayedinabasic modewhilemore specific parameters arehidden, andcanbedisplayedwhenyoutoggletothe advancedmode.

•thefilteringof theparameters displayed

Theparameters areonly displayedwhenthey areapplicabletothechassis type, the videostandardandoptioncodes.

Parameter Changes While Server is Running

Changes tomost parameters cannow beperformedandwill betakenintoaccount while theserveris running.

Clarification of Audio Configurations

Theaudioconfigurations aremoreopenandmoreeasily configurableas it is now possible to:

•modify theaudioparameters whiletheserveris running

•configureindividual outputs forEmbedded, Digital andAnalogaudio.

•configureaudiomonitoringsettings directly fromtheRemoteControl panel.

Configuration Available from Server, Web and Remote Panel

YoucanconfiguretheEVS serverusingoneof thethreeavailabletools:

•Theserver-basedapplication(VGA)features all settings andcommands forthesetup andconfiguration.

•Thenewly designedweb-basedinterfaceis equivalent totheserver-basedapplication andenables engineers toconfiguretheEVS serverremotely.

1.2.Introduction to the Manual

Merging of Former Manuals

TheXT3serverConfigurationmanual is thesuccessorof theformerSoftwareTechnical Referencemanual andMulticamConfigurationmanual.

Bothmanuals havebeenmergedintoasinglemanual duetothein-depthreorganizationof thesoftwaremodules that allow configuringtheEVS videoservers. TheConfiguration manual is server-related.

Note

This versionof theXT3Configurationmanual has beencompletedcomparedto theversionissuedwiththeMulticam11.00release.

Documented User Interfaces

TheServerConfigurationmanual deals withall userinterfaces usedtoconfigure Multicam: server-basedapplication, web-basedinterface, andLSMRemotePanel.

•Ontheonehand, theinformationonnavigability andeditingcommands, specific tothe userinterface, is describedinclearly separatedsections.

•Ontheotherhand, thereferenceinformationonandthedescriptionof configuration parameters aredescribedincommonsections validforall userinterfaces. A clear overview shows whetherandwheretheparameters areavailableineachuser interface.

Configuration Manual Structure

TheServerConfigurationmanual is organizedintwosections:

•A sectiondedicatedtotheMulticamSetupwindow that mainly features:

◦theconfigurations lines andtheirmanagement

◦thefunctions relatedtoserveradministrationandmaintenance.

•A sectiondedicatedtotheMulticamConfigurationwindow, organizedinseventabs, whichdescribes all serverconfigurationparameters that canbedefinedforeach configurationline. Thesectionincludes:

◦theparameterdescriptionitself

◦otherserver-relatedinformationneededfortheconfiguration

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, seethesectionSee"MulticamConfiguration" onpage40.

When Starting the EVS Server After Initial Configuration

Aftertheinitial configuration, youwill select aconfigurationlineandpress ENTER torun theserverinthis configuration. SeealsothesectionSee"LaunchingaConfiguration" on page12. As soonas theEVS serveris launchedinaconfiguration, it starts theloop recordingprocess.

1.4.Accessing the Web-Based Interface

Prerequisite

WhentheEVS serveris started, youcanaccess theweb-basedinterfaceof theMulticam Setupapplicationforthat EVS serverfromany machine(PC orserver)that is onthesame network rangeas theEVS server. Youcanuseany browsertoopentheweb-based interface.

4	1.Introduction

Procedure

Tobeabletoopentheweb-basedinterfaceinabrowser, youneedtoknow theIP address of thePC LAN of theEVS server. Formoreinformation, seesection"SettingtheServer LAN PC Address" onpage24.

Inyourbrowser, enterthefollowingURL: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cfgweb/ wherethe crosses correspondtothePC LAN IP address of theEVS serveryouwant toaccess.

2.1.1.Overview on the Setup Areas

General Description

TheMulticamSetupwindow is thewindow that opens first whentheMulticamSetup applicationis launched. It is displayedwhentheEVS serveris startedbut does not runa givenconfigurationyet.

TheMulticamSetupwindow allows users to:

•view andmanagethevarious configurationlines.

•performsomeadministrationandmaintenancetasks ontheEVS server.

•view summary informationontheEVS serverandtheselectedconfigurationline.

This is availableinbothserver-basedandweb-basedMulticamSetupapplications.

Bothuserinterfaces includethesamefeatures, except that theTools menuoffers fewer commands intheweb-baseduserinterface.

User Interfaces

TheMulticamSetupwindow contains six areas highlightedanddescribedbelow.
