You may have more Servers defined, depending on your specific system setup.
For more information about Servers, please see the Cablecast User Manual.
Having informed the Cablecast software of the new Cablecast server, we can
continue to the next step; creating a Control Module Set.
3.2 Creating Control Module Sets
Each “Host” defined in the Servers page can be running many different Control
Modules, each controlling different devices. In this next section, we’ll define a
specific “set” of Control Modules that are in charge of controlling the Cablecast
server.
From the Main Menu, navigate to
Location Settings
, and click on the
IO
tab.
Another warning screen will appear the first time you select the
IO
tab. Again,
in this case we want to modify the system settings, so it is safe to dismiss the
warning by clicking the “Continue” button.
Once on the IO tab, select Control Module Sets.
We will be creating two new Control Module Sets for your Cablecast server; one to
control playback, and another to control recording. To create the playback Control
Module Set (CMS, for short):
1. Click the “New” button to create a blank CMS.
2. Give the new CMS a name of “Video Playback”
3.
In the
Control Module
dropdown list, select the “
SXPlayerCM
” that corre-
sponds to the Control Module Host you created in the previous section.
4.
In the
Port/IP/LocalPath
field, enter the path to the content directory on the
Cablecast video server. This is the directory where your digital files reside.
Typically, “E:\”.
Next, create the recording Control Module Set:
1. Click the “New” button to create a blank CMS.
3You may also enter the DNS name of the Cablecast server in place of an IP Address.
