Remote Workstation Interface
The Remote Workstation Interface is a software application that provides control of the server
from PC workstations located within a facility. A remote workstation can access one or more video
channels of the server to perform ingest, playback, trimming, playlisting, traffic operations or
monitoring of server activities.
Applications include—
•
Control of a server located in a machine room
•
Ingest station for loading commercials and other content from tape
•
Edit station for trimming content
•
Building, editing and running playlists
•
Remote control of a server located at a transmitter site (“evergreen” backup)
•
Access to file content and operations by engineering or management
•
Control of more than one server from a single workstation
•
On a wireless network, a server can be controlled by a secure
Wi-Fi enabled laptop computer
•
Remote control in a conference room, or during auditorium presentations
•
Servers may be securely controlled from a remote location, even across public Internet
connections, with inexpensive VPN (Virtual Private Network) technology.
A single server may be controlled from more than one different location on the network. See
Figure 41
.
Similarly, a single computer can run multiple Remote Workstations to control multiple servers.
Remote Workstation software provides the same functionality as the local GUI with the
following exceptions: It cannot access the server’s network configuration screen, shutdown the
server, access the RAID status display, or display the server’s time-of-day clock.
As of this writing, the current version of Remote Workstation is 3.03.08, this is required to
work with server software version 1.03.515.

PC with Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 installed. Other operating systems have not been
