(*) 80km/200km is the total length of the return path, i.e. the actual
distances between the 2 servers connected via the fiber link is half of this
value, i.e. 40 km @ 1485Mbps, 100 km @ 540Mbps.
Note
When reclockers are used, the total delay induced by these
reclockers between 2 active servers on the network may not
exceed 15μs.
2.8.4 STARTING XNET
1. When all above conditions are fulfilled, turn on all “Masters” and
“Clients” XTs, and make sure the Multicam application is started on all
of them. A message appears because they are looking for the “Server”
XT.
2. Turn on the “Server” XT and start the Multicam application. The other
XTs should see the “Server” arriving on the network and will connect
automatically. Connection takes a few seconds (usually between 2 and 5
sec) for each XT.
