About GV STRATUS client PCs

Depending on your site's system design and licensing, customer-supplied GV STRATUS client PCs are connected for media access as follows:

• Low-resolution client PC on the corporate LAN — This is the typical setup to access the GV STRATUS application and the EDIUS XS application from a standard PC desktop. The applications accesses proxy media via the corporate LAN to support the workflow, so the only connection required is the PC's existing connection to the corporate LAN. By default, the GV STRATUS application and the EDIUS XS application access low-resolution live streaming and proxy media, so no configuration in Control Panel Proxy Access settings is necessary. GV STRATUS and EDIUS XS authorization and licenses for the client PC are assigned and managed by the GV STRATUS server with role of Common Server.
• High-resolution client PC on K2 media (iSCSI) network — This setup is for high-resolution workflows, such as those that integrate with a high-resolution editor such as EDIUS Workgroup. The GV STRATUS application accesses the high-resolution assets via the media network to support the workflow. Two connections are required: one to the control network and one to the media network. The PC must be set to high-resolution in GV STRATUS Control Panel Proxy Access settings to enable the GV STRATUS application to access high-resolution media. A GV STRATUS high-resolution license is also required for the client PC. The high-resolution license is not managed by the GV STRATUS server with role of Common Server. The EDIUS license is installed on the PC and is managed by EDIUS license management. Other authorization and licensing is identical to the client PC on the corporate LAN.
• Client PC with SMB mount connection to K2 storage — This setup is for high-resolution workflows, such as those that integrate with a high-resolution editor such as EDIUS Workgroup. The GV STRATUS application accesses the high-resolution assets via a SMB mount, typically to the V: drive, to support the workflow. Two connections are required: one to the control network and one to the Grass Valley storage. The PC must be set to high-resolution in GV STRATUS Control Panel Proxy Access settings to enable the GV STRATUS application to access high-resolution media. A GV STRATUS high-resolution license is also required for the client PC. The high-resolution license is not managed by the GV STRATUS server with role of Common Server. The EDIUS license is installed on the PC and is managed by EDIUS license management. Other authorization and licensing is identical to the client PC on the corporate LAN.
• Client PC on control network only — This setup is supported for cases where it is convenient to connect to the control network rather than to the corporate LAN. All functionality is identical to the client PC on the corporate LAN.
