Remote and multiple site configuration

There are several different workflow configurations available for multiple GV STRATUS sites, to provide the level of access and functionality appropriate for your workflow requirements. The configurations are as follows:

Browse and transfer — From your local GV STRATUS system, you can browse, search, view, and transfer assets to/from a remote GV STRATUS system.
When you access multiple GV STRATUS sites, you do so from the context of your local site. Both local and remote GV STRATUS client PCs must be able to resolve the hostnames of local GV system servers, such as Core Server, Proxy Server, and K2 system. This local site is your primary site, where you do your normal workflow tasks, such as ingesting, editing, and playing out on channels. When you access a remote site, you can search and browse the remote assets, but you cannot edit or do other operations on remote assets. You must transfer the remote asset to your local site in order to apply the full range of GV STRATUS operations to the asset. Asset transfers are allowed both ways between your local and remote sites.

Configure remote sites settings in the GV STRATUS Control Panel to access those sites in the GV STRATUS application. The setup includes the core server of the remote site and customizable name for the remote site.
Browse, transfer, and send — In addition to the browse and transfer workflow, you can send assets from your local site to a remote site using the Send Destination feature.
To use the Send Destination feature, configure Remote K2 Storage and Locations Config settings.
Playout — In addition to the browse, transfer, and send workflow, you can use the GV STRATUS Rundown functionality at the remote site.
To integrate with a playout system on a remote site, add your remote XMOS and SDB servers on the Playout Remote Sites tab in GV STRATUS Control Panel application. This allows you to view and select placeholders from your remote site.
Send to K2 system — From your local GV STRATUS system, you can send assets to a remote K2 system that is not part of a GV STRATUS system, using the Send Destination feature.
To use the Send Destination feature, configure Remote K2 Storage and Locations Config settings.

If you have remote sites configured in your system, the Navigator panel displays nodes for those sites. Only the Assets node is displayed under remote sites. Asset indicators identify assets on remote sites.

Note: When using multiple GV STRATUS sites, make sure all sites either have security enabled or disabled. Do not attempt to run mixed environments.
