About the Grass Valley AppService

To establish a connection between GV STRATUS software and the GV I/O Live Ingest and Playout Server, a user must log in to the GV I/O device and allow a console application named Grass Valley AppService to execute.

The Grass Valley AppService console application will start automatically when a user logs in to the GV I/O host. The user must stay logged in with the Grass Valley AppService running during normal operation of the GV I/O device.

Note: Only a single instance of Grass Valley AppService will execute on the host even if another user logs in to the same GV I/O host.

When using GV I/O Live Ingest and Playout Server with the GV AMS Pro - Advanced Media Storage, the user that executes the Grass Valley AppService console application must have read and write permissions to the UNC path configured for the GV I/O device to use in storing high resolution media files.

For proper operation of ingest and playout operation with GV AMS Pro - Advanced Media Storage, the UNC path used for media storage must be mapped to a V:\ drive on the GV I/O host.
