About the installation location for the DCM application
If the DCM application is run on the DCM server or MEDIAEDGE server, the video distribution
may become unstable. Use it temporarily for confirmation purposes only. We strongly
recommend that you set up an operation PC that is separate from the server and that you
use this operation PC for normal operations.
