Connecting the Slave Renderer to a Lustre Workstation

The Lustre Slave Renderer is a single render node that provides automatic background rendering on a
shot-by-shot basis. It is available for the Lustre Master Station, the Station, and the HD Station.

NOTE In comparison, Autodesk Incinerator provides “in-line” processing by several nodes at once. For more
information, see the Autodesk Incinerator Installation and User Guide.

Connect the Slave Renderer to a switch on your GigE house network. Note that the Slave Renderer can only
be used by one Lustre workstation.

Although the Lustre Slave Renderer uses a standard GigE network connection, it requires the higher-bandwidth
Cat-6 cable, to accommodate the increased data that is transmitted.

To connect the Slave Renderer:

1 Connect one end of the Cat-6 cable to an available GigE port on your house network switch.

2 Connect the other end of the cable to one of the on-board GigE ports of the Slave Renderer machine.
