GX server – Version 1.10 – User Manual
EVS Broadcast Equipment – September 2012

Description
When the GX server is switched on, the users can control the GX server from a remote
PC via a web-based application using a local network connection.
1. Users configure the server parameters from the web interface on the client PC.
2. Users import the original files (fill and key, audio) to the Raw Materials drive (internal
HDD drive) from one of the following locations:
o
Web interface on the client PC
o
DVD drive on the GX server
o
Hardware connected to USB or eSATA connectors on the GX server
o
EVS server connected via an Ethernet connection
3. Users associate the original files, define synchronization parameters, and upload
them (switch them online) as GX clips onto the GX Clips drive (Solid State Disk
drive).
The files are then ready for playout.
4. When users start the GX server from the web interface, the GX clips that correspond
to the requested video standard are published to the switcher.
The operator can then select the requested GX clips and play them out using the
switcher. The switcher and the GX server communicate via a RS422 link, by means
of a control protocol like VDCP.
Important
The use of the web interface and the transcode operations are not possible
while the GX server is started.
Note
Information data about the GX server can be transferred on the network to an
XNet Web Monitor (or another managing device), using the SNMP protocol.
