NOTE: The PIX:XP client workstation must have two network routes to the Profile
system:
• The standard Windows network. This allows you to use the PortServer
interface to a Profile XP system, which enables remote use of Profile
commands.
• The optional Ethernet Video Network on the Profile XP. Depending on the
advice of your local system administrator, you may choose to configure the
Ethernet switch or hub, shown in the previous illustration, so that the two
Profile XP Ethernet connections on different subnets. This may help to
prevent inter-Profile media traffic from congesting the Windows network.
In the following illustration, several PIX:XP client workstations are connected to one
or several Profile XP systems via the two required Ethernet connections. Once the
Profile movies are created on the Profile XP system or systems, they can subsequently
be moved to other Profile (PDR) or Profile XP (PVS) systems over an existing Fibre
Channel Video network. The Profile movies can be played or archived just like any
other standard-definition MPEG2 Profile movie.
