In this example 192.168.100.xx is the control network and 192.168.101.xx is the streaming/FTP
network. Each K2 Media Server has its hostname associated with its control network IP address. In
addition, each K2 Media Server (that has the role of FTP server) has its
_he0 hostname associated
with its streaming/FTP network address.
Use SiteConfig to define your networks and devices. When you do so, SiteConfig creates the correct
hosts file and copies the hosts file to each network device. This enforces consistent hosts files across
networks and reduces errors introduced by editing and copying hosts files on individual devices.
You can also view hosts files from SiteConfig for troubleshooting purposes.
About GV STRATUS client PCs
Depending on your site's system design and licensing, customer-supplied GV STRATUS client PCs
are connected for media access as follows:
• Low-resolution client PC on the corporate LAN — This is the typical setup to access the GV
STRATUS application and the EDIUS XS application from a standard PC desktop. The
applications accesses proxy media via the corporate LAN to support the workflow, so the only
connection required is the PC's existing connection to the corporate LAN. By default, the GV
STRATUS application and the EDIUS XS application access low-resolution live streaming and
proxy media, so no configuration in Control Panel Proxy Access settings is necessary. GV
STRATUS and EDIUS XS authorization and licenses for the client PC are assigned and managed
by the GV STRATUS server with role of Common Server.
• High-resolution client PC on K2 media (iSCSI) network — This setup is for high-resolution
workflows, such as those that involve the GV STRATUS RMI tool or that integrate with a
high-resolution editor such as EDIUS Elite. The GV STRATUS application accesses the
high-resolution assets via the media network to support the workflow. Two connections are
required: one to the control network and one to the media network. The PC must be set to
high-resolution in GV STRATUS Control Panel Proxy Access settings to enable the GV
STRATUS application to access high-resolution media. A GV STRATUS high-resolution license
is also required for the client PC. The high-resolution license is not managed by the GV STRATUS
server with role of Common Server. The EDIUS license is installed on the PC and is managed
by EDIUS license management. Other authorization and licensing is identical to the client PC
on the corporate LAN.
• Client PC with CIFS mount access to K2 storage — This setup is for high-resolution workflows,
such as those that involve the GV STRATUS RMI tool or that integrate with a high-resolution
editor such as EDIUS Elite. The GV STRATUS application accesses the high-resolution assets
via a CIFS mount, typically to the
V: drive, to support the workflow. Two connections are
required: one to the control network and one to the Grass Valley storage. The PC must be set to
high-resolution in GV STRATUS Control Panel Proxy Access settings to enable the GV
STRATUS application to access high-resolution media. A GV STRATUS high-resolution license
is also required for the client PC. The high-resolution license is not managed by the GV STRATUS
server with role of Common Server. The EDIUS license is installed on the PC and is managed
by EDIUS license management. Other authorization and licensing is identical to the client PC
on the corporate LAN.
