1.3. Starting the EVS Server
Introduction
When switching on the EVS server, the first step is the PC boot sequence, followed by
the boot of the video I/O boards, and finally the Multicam Setup application is started.
When Starting the EVS Server for the First Time
Before you first use your EVS server, you need to perform the following tasks:
• Define the configuration lines your EVS server should run.
For more information, see section "Configuration Lines" on page 7.
• Define the configuration parameters for each configuration line you will need.
In this step, you will define, among others, the channel configuration for the selected
configuration line, as well as audio and video parameters for the EVS server.
For more information, see the section See "Multicam Configuration" on page 35.
When Starting the EVS Server After Initial Configuration
After the initial configuration, you will select a configuration line and press ENTER to run
the server in this configuration. See also the section See "Launching a Configuration" on
page 7. As soon as the EVS server is launched in a configuration, it starts the loop
recording process.
1.4. Accessing the Web-Based Interface
Prerequisite
When the EVS server is started, you can access the web-based interface of the Multicam
Setup application for that EVS server from any machine (PC or server) that is on the same
network range as the EVS server. You can use any browser to open the web-based
interface.
Procedure
To be able to open the web-based interface in a browser, you need to know the IP address
of the PC LAN of the EVS server. For more information, see section "Setting the Server
LAN PC Address" on page 19.
In your browser, enter the following URL: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cfgweb/ where the
crosses correspond to the PC LAN IP address of the EVS server you want to access.
