The Unit Status Monitor
The Unit Status Monitor, invoked by the mcstat command, graphically displays the
activity of all units that are currently open on the SGI Media Server. Figure A-6 shows an
example of mcstat output when VST is running. When VST is not running, mcstat
exits.
Figure A-6 mcstat Output
The command displays a list of all the media ports supported by the SGI Media Server.
For each port, it displays all the units that are opened on that port; each unit is on a
separate line.
The unit display includes the name of the unit, the unit owner information, the name of
the clip currently loaded on the unit, the last function executed by the unit (or the one
currently executing), the current clip timecode, and the status of the function.
