Overview of the GV STRATUS application
About the GV STRATUS product
The GV STRATUS ™ Media Workflow Application Framework is the next generation of Grass
Valley application software, designed for the entertainment, on-air operations, and news markets.
GV STRATUS includes a powerful asset management solution and all the tools to help you produce
your content from all ingests needs, preparation, editing, review and approval, playout and of course,
archiving. GV STRATUS uses a common Service Oriented Architecture, to provide a modular, high
performance, and highly configurable user experience and does away with the old concept of separate,
individual tools which can be hard to configure, and even harder to use. GV STRATUS is built with
modules that are added as services to assemble your workspace into an environment tailored
specifically to your needs, in an almost infinite number of combinations. This means you have a
virtually unlimited and fully integrated tool-set at your command. GV STRATUS is format and
resolution independent. Proxies are generated on the fly for any video coming into the system and
are fully available to all the users within seconds.
The GV STRATUS product includes the GV STRATUS Application Framework and the GV
STRATUS Core Services. These layers provide you with access to the K2 Infrastructure to support
your workflow requirements.
The GV STRATUS Application Framework includes the following:
• The GV STRATUS application — This is the primary application for using GV STRATUS tools
for your media workflow. It is documented in this document.
• The GV STRATUS Control Panel application — The GV STRATUS application that provides
central configuration of the software components of the GV STRATUS system. It is documented
in "GV STRATUS Installation and Service Manual".
• The GV Event Viewer — This is the application that displays detailed information about
significant events on your GV STRATUS server, which is very useful when troubleshooting
problems and errors. It is documented in "GV STRATUS Installation and Service Manual".
