EDIUS/XRE Setup for SMB storage

Install/upgrade EDIUS and GV 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.

Mount the V: drive to your GV Render Engine server and any high resolution STRATUS/EDIUS clients.

For SMB storage, mount the Public Media Share, such as the following:

Exit the XRE configuration utility.
Go to C:\ProgramData\Grass Valley\EDIUS\8.0\XRE\XREManagementServerSetting.xml.
Edit and save the project Folder value, as shown in this example: <xre:projectFolder>\\gvstorage-public\mediashare\EDIUS</xre:projectFolder>
Restart the system.
