Environmental Requirements
Environmental Requirements
This table lists the specifications for a standard broadcast environment.
Networking Requirements
Your system is designed to work over industry-standard local area networks (LANs)
and wide area networks (WANs) using standard TCP/IP networking protocols. Install
all possible network cabling before the equipment arrives and make note of the
network IP addresses that reside within the network.
Fibre Channel
The Aurora Edit system transfers files to the playback server through a Fibre Channel
switch connection. Typically, fibre-optic cable is run along or inside facilities
ductwork using 62.5-micron termination connectors, SC type for the Emulex Fibre
Channel card and LC type for the Q-Logic Fibre Channel card. Contact Thomson
Grass Valley for sources for custom or off-the-shelf length cables.
Ethernet Switch
The Ethernet switch routes data between all Aurora Edit systems, the playout server,
and newsroom systems. A 100-BaseT Ethernet switch is required to connect network
devices within Aurora Edit production workgroups. A Gigabit Ethernet switch is
available and used for the Network Attached Storage product. Status LEDs on the hub
show network activity.
