  1. Install/upgrade EDIUS and XRE/Render Engine software as directed by standard instructions in GV STRATUS customer documentation. Make sure you follow the proper sequence for installation and running applications.
  2. On the K2Central server, share the V: drive.
  3. Add an EDIUS project folder at the root of the V: drive, as directed by standard instructions in GV STRATUS customer documentation.
  4. Mount the V: drive to your XRE/Render Engine server and any high resolution STRATUS/EDIUS clients.
  5. In GV STRATUS Control Panel, click Applications | EDIUS | Default Project Settings and set Default project location to the UNC path of the above EDIUS folder, as follows:
    • For K2 Central, use a path to the EDIUS folder on the K2 Central server, such as the following:

      \\[K2CentralServerName]\V\[EdiusFolderName]

    Note: If there are multiple K2s on the GV STRATUS system besides the K2Central, then the EDIUS project folder may be located on a different K2.
  6. In the EDIUS XRE Server tab, configure the XRE Server setting to the desired GV Render Engine server.
  7. Follow the instructions in the this Topic Library to complete EDIUS and XRE/Render Engine setup for CIFS mount.
  8. In the Core | Engines settings, verify that each GV Render Engine is displayed, desired streams configured, and the engine status is running.
  9. On each GV Render Engine server, do the following:
    1. Manually map the K2 Central’s V: drive (and any other desired K2s) using the FTP IP addresses. For example, if the FTP IP address of K2 Central is 10.148.1.150, then map the K2 Central V: drive as \\10.148.1.150\V, and choose the Reconnect at logon option.
    2. On the XRE Admin Console | XREController setting window, save Project folder configuration to the same directory as the EDIUS project location.
    3. In XRE Admin Console | GVRenderEngine:
      • Set the Node name to the local server name.
      • Click the Setting… button and set the primary GV Render Engine name, address, and the port number as 1223.
