Grass Valley Xmedia Server Vertigo Suite v.5.0 - Manual (Page 223)

19-4 XMS Configuration Guide
Setting and monitoring the XMS publishing activities
Insta-publishing from the EXMS to a Localhost device
While this guide’s main focus is on configuring the Xmedia Server, the following information
applies only to configuring the Embedded Xmedia Server (EXMS) installed on Vertigo XG
devices. A brief overview of the EXMS is provided in relation to the I
NSTA - PUBLISH DEVICE
ENABLED setting.
The Embedded Xmedia Server (EXMS) allows users to continue working on the Vertigo
Suite applications in the case of a network failure by replacing the application cache with
an Xmedia Server (XMS service and database) situated on the same Vertigo XG device.
Figure 19-3 demonstrates that since the I NSTA - PUBLISH DEVICE ENABLED setting on the
EXMS Control Panel is always enabled, the EXMS is always ready to instantly publish all
newly received assets locally to a device called L
OCALHOST . The Localhost device is an
Xpublish Agent device that publishes the EXMS assets (soft-links) to a folder on the same
drive as its virtual database (VDB), so that the assets can be accessed by the XG.
