Logging on to GV STRATUS and starting an EDIUS Field project

The EDIUS Elite workstation PC must have network access to the GV STRATUS system at the home site. For example, you must be able to ping the GV STRATUS Core server hostname from the EDIUS Elite workstation.
The EDIUS Elite workstation PC must have an EDIUS Elite license.

When you log on, the GV STRATUS application assigns GV STRATUS licenses and roles based on your user account credentials, as set by the system administrator in the GV STRATUS Control Panel application. Your credentials must also give you access to all your K2 systems.

From the Windows desktop, do the following:
- Open the the EDIUS STRATUS icon shortcut.
A GV STRATUS Log On dialog box opens.
Enter your username. If you use domain credentials, enter in format <domain>\<username>. For example, if your domain is "gv" and your username is "GVuser", enter gv\GVuser.
Enter your password.
Verify or enter the name of the Control Panel Host for the GV STRATUS Control Panel Service. In most systems, this is the main GV STRATUS Core server.
Click Log On.
The Startup dialog box opens.

1. Select the mode of your project.
  - Select Home if you are at your home GV STRATUS site working with local high-resolution assets.
  - Select Field if are in the field working with both field and home assets integrating with your home GV STRATUS system via a remote connection.

  You can also set to other locations as long as the new location is under the path of the default project location.
