Connection for using Share Play Function

Configuration with BPU4800 and PWS-4500
47
Page 48
Notes
• When using a Share Play connection, the reference signal for all PWS-4500/BPU4800 units must be
synchronized. Connect an external reference signal input to all PWS-4500/BPU4800 units.
• When using a Share Play connection, one PWS-4500/BPU4800 unit managed by PRC Manager is
assigned as the master to which the other units are synced. Share Play will terminate if the
PWS-4500/BPU4800 master unit is turned off during Share Play. Accordingly, during Share Play use,
do not turn off any of the PWS-4500/BPU4800 units managed by PRC Manager.
• For Share Play redundancy, configure as follows.
- Connect both connectors 1 and 2.
- Separate Share Play 1 and Share Play 2 on different network segments.
Example:
Share Play 1: 192.168.11.xx, Share Play 2: 192.168.12.xx
- If connecting to a single network switch, separate the segments using VLANs.

Network Cable
Connect an Ethernet cable between PWS-4500/BPU4800 Network Port 1 and the Network
terminal on the PC on which this application software is installed.
Note
PWA-PRC1 does not support the use of the Network Port 2 connector of the PWS-4500/BPU4800.
SDI Input/Output
Connect between PWS-4500 and MSQ-S321 attached to PC with BNC cables.
Note
When using only one MSQ-S321 in the PWS-100PR1/PWS-110PR1, connect the SDI cables to the SDI
connectors for the lower slot.

PRC Manager is software used to manage PWS-4500/BPU4800, PWA-PRC1, and PWA-MGW1
on a network, without using an operation screen. It is included with the PWA-PRC1 installer.
Configuring auto startup when the PC boots

If the above procedure is completed successfully, the PRC Manager icon will appear in the task
tray when the PC boots.

app” message appears in the [Windows Security Alert] dialog. Click [Allow access]. Connection with
the PWS-4500 is not possible if this step is skipped.

About Authentication
When using PWA-PRC1 for the first time, an install key is required for authentication.
This procedure is not required if using the PWS-100PR1/PWS-110PR1.
Executing Authentication
The following are necessary for authentication.
• MAC address of a network interface within the PC
• A software install key for PWA-PRC1 (Ask your sales contact for details).
Notes
• A software install key is valid for one PC. If you use PWA-PRC1 on another PC, another software install
key is required.
• Whenever a network card is changed, authentication is required. This is because authentication uses
MAC address of the network card.
1. Start PWA-PRC1.
The Authentication screen appears.
2. Input a software-install-key on the Authentication screen, and then click [OK].
