About the Grass Valley AppService

To establish a connection between GV STRATUS software and the GV I/O Live Ingest and Playback 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 Playback Server with the Isilon shared 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 Isilon shared storage, the UNC path used for media storage must be mapped to a V:\ drive on the GV I/O host.
