5. the network type must be set to "Server" on one and only one EVS video server on the

network. The others must be set to either "Master" (to share clips and view others

clips) or "Client" (to share clips only).

6. A different network number must be specified for each EVS video server that you

want to connect to the network. If the same network number is assigned to 2 different

systems, the second one will not be able to connect and a warning message will be

displayed.

7. All EVS video servers must be connected with a good quality BNC 75Ohm cable to

form a closed loop.

Connect the SDTI OUT connector of the first EVS video server to the SDTI IN

connector of the second one, etc until the loop is closed by connecting the SDTI OUT

connector of the last EVS video server to the SDTI IN connector of the first one.

The SDTI loop must be closed at all times during network operation. If for any reason

the loop is open, all network communication will be interrupted and all systems will

automatically switch to stand alone mode. When the loop is closed again, network

operation will resume automatically. This problem can be avoided or limited using an

XHub.

8. The distance shown in the table below is the maximum cable length between two

active EVS servers, or 2 SDTI reclockers, on an XNet2 SDTI network, using a single

piece of cable between 2 servers or 2 reclockers.

Intermediate connectors, patch panels, etc., might degrade these figures. Depending

on the number of servers connected on the network, the location of the master server,

the presence or not of an XHub SDTI hub, the actual maximum values may be higher

than indicated. If longer distances between servers are required, SDTI to Fiber

converters can be used, allowing distances over thousands of meters if necessary.

EVS has validated the following SDI-Fibre converters:
