2.7 CONNECTING MULTIPLE EVS VIDEO
SERVERS ON XNET
The XNet2 network is composed by several EVS video servers all connected with a
75-Ohm coaxial cable (BNC).
The exchange between systems is operated through the SDTI interface at 1485
Mbps.
On XT3 servers there is one pair of SDTI connectors: XNet2 Non-Relay connectors
that can be used at 1485 Mbps.
The SDTI loop is closed only when the Multicam software is started. It is therefore
recommended to use XHub when using Non-Relay connectors to avoid network
interruptions.
The XNet2 requires a network server dedicated to the management of the
Database shared among all LSM-EVS video servers. This is assigned to one of the
LSM-EVS servers on the network. The EVS server acting as the network server
can of course be used for standard LSM/video server operation.
Note
If an XT3 must be connected to other XT2 or XS family servers with SCSI
or SAS disks, these servers must run at least Multicam version 10.05.
