Logging on

When you log on to the GV STRATUS system, 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. If GV STRATUS security is enforced, your credentials must give you adequate permissions on bins and assets that are part of your workflow. If GV STRATUS metadata access control is enforced, your credentials must give you adequate permissions on metadata fields that are part of your workflow. Your credentials must also give you access to all your K2 systems.

  1. From the Windows desktop, do one of the following:
    • Open the GV STRATUS icon shortcut.
    • Click Start | All Programs | Grass Valley and click the STRATUS icon.
    A Log On dialog box opens.
  2. Enter your user name.

    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.

    If you have successfully logged on before, select your user name from the drop-down list.

  3. Enter your password.
  4. Verify that the application is correctly referencing the Control Panel Services Host as follows:
    1. If not already showing, click the Options button to show settings.
    2. Verify or enter the hostname (do not enter the IP address) of the GV STRATUS server with the SiteConfig role of GV STRATUS Control Panel Service. This is the Control Panel Services Host. In most systems this is the main GV STRATUS Core server.

      If you have successfully logged on before, your hostname is automatically populated. You can select a hostname from the drop-down list if you have previously logged on to multiple hosts in your operation.

  5. Click Log On.

The application opens.

GV STRATUS features are enabled according to the roles associated with your log on credentials.

When you log on to the application, the settings you make on one PC are available on other PCs when using the same user credentials, including the following:
  • Settings from the User Preferences dialog box
  • Workspaces
  • Channel Panel configurations and Salvos
  • Searches
