File menu
All Ikusnet2 units share the same functionalities regarding file operation and they
all will be described here, with only some minor differences that we will be
mentioning along this chapter.
Ikusnet2 is a live contribution system, but the File menu adds further powerful
capabilities to this product.
Users might perform the following actions:
Recording

of live events for later transmission. File transmission can be
started before the recording is finished. This way file transmissions can be
obtained in near real-time.
Recording a backup file of important contributions while streaming the live
event to the studio. In this mode the video quality (encoder configuration)
will match for both output feeds: streaming and file recording.
Uploading of recorded files via standard FTP to a file server or to another
Ikusnet2 system. When sending files from Ikusnet2 BP to Ikusnet2 ST
Decoder (not to a standard FTP server), for example, bandwidth
aggregation of up to 10 different IP interfaces is allowed, thus providing
very fast file uploading. Once files reach Ikusnet2 ST at the remote end,
the studio codec can be configured to upload any incoming files
automatically to an FTP server that might be located in the same internal
network, or can be read from a computer located in the same LAN. The
maximum number of concurrent file reception operations is 10.
Downloading a file from an FTP server into the selected storage device.
Local play out of pre-recorded files

. Take into account that the contents
of the file can be played out and monitored on the video outputs, so that
it can feed another external video device. This option is only available
when the PROGRAM line is disconnected.
