About the Remote Workstation Interface
The Remote Workstation Interface consists of a CD-ROM carrying the Remote Workstation
application for Windows 2000 and Windows XP computers. It self-installs using the normal
Windows prompts.
It is possible to install the Remote Workstation software on a number of PCs; any of them can then
control an Image Server.
Operations
Up to four Remote Workstations can simultaneously view the channel activity of a single Image
Server. Only one Remote Workstation, however, can take control of a video channel at any given
time. Control of the Image Server video channel is not automatically granted to a Remote
Workstation just by attempting to use the GUI; control must be actively taken, using the TAKE
CONTROL option described below. This allows remote monitoring of Image Server channel
activity while greatly reducing the likelihood that a remote user will interfere with operations
initiated by another. All Workstations, including the Image Server’s local GUI, have equal priority
and any can take control of a video channel at any time. Control is granted for server channels
individually, and not automatically for all four; therefore, four Remote Workstations can each
control a separate video channel. Each Remote Workstation can display or close transport
windows without affecting other Workstations or the Local GUI.
The IP address of a Remote Workstation currently controlling a channel appears in the status bar
on the bottom-left of the Playlist or Channel window.
