Mimic Feature
When the Mimic Button is selected, this machine will display a remote server’s multilayer
content. This is useful when an operator cannot directly view the output of a remote
server.
Note: The local machine can mimic a remote server’s content only if it has the
same content loaded.
A catalyst server can also mimic another server, for example, if content needs to be
synchronized across more than one server.
Sending Remote Commands to Servers
In addition to synchronizing and monitoring other Catalyst Media Servers on an Ethernet
network, you can send remote commands to networked servers.
1. To set up a server to accept remote commands from another server, locate the CIB
Connection panel at the top of the Catalyst Control window on the PowerMac.
2. Click on the Remote field in the bottom right corner of the CIB Connection panel to
open a pop-up menu.
3. In the pop-up menu, select “Accept Remote Commands”. A check mark will be placed
next to the option and the menu will close.
4. Repeat this process for all servers on the network that you wish to accept remote
commands.
5. From any Media Server on the network, open the pop-up menu in the Remote field of
the CIB Connection panel.
