3.2 CABLING
The GX server has to be cabled as shown on the schema below to allow:
• Users to import video sequences and audio files and to create the GX clips on
the server from the client PC.
• Operators to control the playout via the switcher.
Important
The GX server is connected to the protocol clients through the RS 422
port. Once the GX clips are ready for playout, the GX server however
needs to be manually started
from the GX web interface for the
communication between the GX server and the protocol client to be
established.
For more information on starting the GX server, refer to the sections
3.3.2 ‘Switching on versus Starting the Server’, on page 15 and 4.2.5
‘Starting the GX Server’, on page 22.
