Remote Workstation Interface


The Image Server Remote Workstation Interface Option is a software application that provides IP
control of the server from PC workstations located within a facility.

A remote workstation can access one or more video channels of an Image Server to perform ingest,
playback, trimming, playlisting, traffic operations or monitoring of server activities.

Applications include—

• Control of an Image Server located in a machine room

• Ingest station for loading commercials and other content from tape

• Edit station for trimming content

• Building, editing and running playlists

• Remote control of an Image Server located at a transmitter site (“evergreen” backup)

• Access to file content and operations by engineering or management

• Control of more than one Image Server from a single workstation

• On a wireless network, an Image Server can be controlled by a secure

Wi-Fi enabled laptop computer

• Remote control in a conference room, or during auditorium presentations

• Image Servers may be securely controlled from a remote location, even across public Internet

connections, with inexpensive VPN (Virtual Private Network) technology.

A single Image Server with the Remote Workstation Option may be controlled from many remote
workstations, at different locations on the network. See Figure 32.


Similarly, a single computer can run multiple Remote Workstations to control multiple Image
Servers.

Remote Workstation provides the same functionality as the local GUI with the following
exceptions:

• Remote Workstation cannot access the servers Network configuration screen

• Remote Workstation cannot shutdown the server.

• Remote Workstation cannot access the RAID status display

• Remote Workstation cannot display Image Server’s time-of-day clock.
