Grass Valley GV STRATUS Installation v.3.1 - Manual (Page 16)

This medium GV STRATUS system is designed for a typical workflow and consists of a K2 Summit
online or production SAN, multiple GV STRATUS servers, and multiple GV STRATUS client PCs.
Client PCs that use a proxy media workflow are connected to the Corporate LAN or to the control
network. Client PCs that use a high resolution media workflow are connected to the media (iSCSI)
network. At least one PC must host the GV STRATUS Control Panel application. A designated PC
on the control network hosts the SiteConfig application and the K2Config application. GV STRATUS
Control Panel, SiteConfig, and K2Config applications can all be on the same PC, and that PC can
be the K2 SAN control point PC.
In addition to the Proxy Server, one or more GV STRATUS servers host components that provide
the underlying functionality to the overall GV STRATUS system. Components can be distributed
across multiple GV STRATUS servers to provide processing power as needed to support the
workflow.
