XFile Version 2.19 – User Manual
EVS Broadcast Equipment – November 2012
Issue 2.19.A
9
GBE Only
Transfers for backup, i.e. backup clip, backup train (XStream), and restore operations are
processed through the Ethernet network. However, the following operations are still
performed through the XNet: Publish, Grab, Render Playlist, and data access. That is the
reason why an SDTI connection is still required in GBE Only mode.
Combined Mode GBE + XNet
This combined mode permits the transfers through the XNet when the Gigabit network is
not available, e.g. in case of disconnection of one server from the Gigabit network.
3.1.3 Backup Channel Assignment
Seven backup channels are available. You will assign them according to your backup
needs.
Two predefined configurations are available and are described below. If the predefined
configurations do not meet your requirements, you can define a customized configuration.
The backup channel assignment will only affect the XFile and XStream backup modes.
They will not impact on the Restore, Publish and Maintenance modes.
Predefined Configurations
The following predefined configurations are available:
XFile Configuration
The XFile configuration provides the following backup functions:
• 1 channel for clip backups (XFile)
• 1 channel for playlist backups (XFile)
• 1 channel for thumbnail and image grabs (XFile)
• 3 channels for train backup (XStream)
• 1 channel for browsing in XStream
XStream Configuration
The XStream configuration provides the following backup functions:
• 6 channels for train backup (XStream)
• 1 channel for browsing in XStream
