The Resolution setting applies to both playback and recording.
The second setting (in the Genlock section) allows you to define if the server
should sync to an external genlock source, which should be connected to the Ref
In connector on the video server. If this setting is checked, the video server will
sync to the provided genlock source. If it is unchecked, internal genlock will be
used. The current Genlock Status is shown, if you are using External Genlock the
status should be Locked. If you are using Internal Genlock, the status should be
Free Running. The next setting (in the Maintenance section) controls how the
video server performs maintenance required for the system's media storage. You
can use the check box to enable or disable the maintenance completely (disabling it
is not recommended). When it is enabled it will perform storage maintenance at the
specified time every day.
Maintenance may interrupt playback or encoding on your server so you should
choose a time that the system is not busy. The default is 3:00AM, but can be
changed to any time that suits your environment.
The final area of the Server tab (Version Information) lists version numbers for
each component of the video server system. If you require support from Tightrope
Media Systems on your server, please have these version numbers handy. Your
server will confirm that the correct Matrox drivers are installed and warn you if
there is a mismatch.
