LIBRARY STORAGE -
This is included in on board the TMS Server. The Library
Storage contains 8 x 2TB disks formatted to NTFS in a raid 6 configuration leaving
12TB useable space on the disk. Assuming a DCP feature size of 250GB this will
give storage for approximately 60 feature films (200GB DCP).
DCP HDD POWER AND USB DISTRIBUTION -
A mains distribution panel is
provided so that a DCP HDD can be powered at the front of the rack. 4x USB ports
are available on the front of the TMS Application Server. Also KDM’s can be ingested
by USB memory stick.
CRU DATAPORT (High Speed Ingest)
- The CRU Dataport provides increased
ingest speed through an eSATA interface to the Application Server. 2 x CRU DCP
HDD can be inserted, powered automatically and then ingested using the TMS Client.
KVM MONITOR/KEYBOARD DRAWER
- The KVM monitor and keyboard is used for
configuration and maintenance of the system and can access both the Application
Server and the CineWatch Server. The KVM monitor is usually kept closed and not
used for daily use.
48 PORT Gb NETWORK SWITCH
- The Gigabit switch is configured with a 4 x 1Gb
trunk to the Application Server for throughput and a single Gb link to each projector,
TMS Client and customer network.
TMS WORKSTATION -
The TMS client PC is a standard PC which is not required to
be high performance. From this PC the TMS graphical user interface is accessed
through Windows Internet Explorer (or FireFox). The TMS Client is usually located in
the projection box and is the main point of interaction with the system. Scheduling,
Content Management, Status Monitoring and Show Management can be performed
at this terminal. A system can have multiple TMS Clients.
