EVS XT4K - Important Rules; Switches

Workflow (Restore via Folder Scan)
1. Based on the parameters defined in Xsquare, this application scans specific folders on
external backup or archiving systems.
2. When a clip file has been written to the scanned folder, Xsquare creates a copy of the
clip on the server specified in the Xsquare parameters.
The restored clip receives a new UmID and LSM ID:
◦ Multicam automatically assigns a UmID to the restored clip.
◦ A start LSM ID is specified in Xsquare and incremented as defined for each new
clip that is restored in order to find an empty location on the server.
The restored clip contains the clip metadata.
3. The restored clip is moved from the scanned folder to one of the following subfolders
on the external archiving or backup system:
◦ \Restore.done\: folder where the files are moved to when they are successfully
restored.
◦ \Restore.error\: folder where files are moved to when they failed to restore.
5.7.4. Important Rules
Gigabit networks including EVS servers need to abide by the following rules:
• The hardware used on GbE networks with EVS servers need to support jumbo frames.
• Both GbE ports of an EVS server need to be defined on different sub-networks.
• This is not possible to implement failover through the GbE network.
• The two GbE ports available on the internal switch (PC LAN) are 1000 Base-T ports.
They are used for monitoring purposes (XNet Monitor) or for the communication with
other applications (LinX)
5.7.5. Switches
1GbE Switches
All switches used on the GbE networks of EVS systems need to support jumbo frames
(Ethernet frames with more than 1,500 bytes of payload).
The following table gives an overview on the supported 1GbE switches:
