Delays

Delay times between playback and ingest depend on two factors:

• local or distant video material on the SDTI network

• codec type (intra field-type codec, intra frame-type codec, longop codec)

The following table provides the delay times depending on these two factors:

Local Clips Distant Clips (SDTI)

Intra field-type codec 6 frames 5 seconds

Intra frame-type codec 9 frames 5 seconds

LongGOP codec 2 seconds 9 seconds

Troubleshooting

1. If the network does not start up properly although all machines are apparently

configured properly and Multicam is actually started on all of them, check that

selected cables to connect all EVS servers are suitable and not too long to operate.

2. If the connection cannot be established, please make sure that all equipments are set

to the same speed and connected to the non-relay connectors.

3. Once the network has been established, if the EVS server acting as the network

"Server" is disconnected or shut down, another server will automatically be assigned

to act as a new network "Server". The next machine to be automatically assigned as

new network server is the one with the highest serial number in the SDTI network.

5.7. Gigabit Network

5.7.1. Functional Overview

The Gigabit connection makes it possible to transfer video and audio material from your

XT3 server to external systems via the TCP/IP network.

The external systems can be the following:

• A storage system or an archiving system, such as XStore or XF.

• A non-linear editing system, such as Xedio, Apple Final Cut Pro, or Avid.

However, the external systems cannot read the raw files coming from a XT3 server. For

this reason, XTAccess is used as a “gateway” between your server and the IT world. It

takes up the role of gateway used so far by XFile/XStream as it creates file formats

compliant with external systems. In this architecture, the Xsquare application plays the

role of XTAccess orchestrator on the Gigabit network, communicating via the PC LAN

connection.
