CONTENT (Manager privileges and above required) – Navigates to the Content page. This page allows you to view and delete Clips,

local storage, and monitor the transfer progress.
SCHEDULER (Manager privileges and above required) – Navigates to the Scheduler page. Here you can place playlists on a schedule
for automatic playback.
SYSTEM (Installer or Administrator privileges required) – Navigates to the System page. Here you can monitor various logs and
statistics, add or remove users and cues, and adjust settings to configure the CMS within the installation.
Server Setup
To access server setup, status and perform software updates, login to the CMS-5000 UI application with installer or administrator
privileges and navigate to System->Server. The following can be accessed from this page.
Server Settings
At the Server Settings panel, you can modify the server's location, name, and time zone. Make sure to click on the SAVE button in the
upper right to save any changes you make to the server.
•
Name and Location – The server name set here will appear in the bottom status bar as well as on the Overview page. This is also
how the server is represented in the Connected CMS list on the Overview page. The Location is shown on the Overview page.
•
Time – The current server's UTC time is shown in this panel. You can set the time zone to your local time. On the scheduler and
elsewhere in the UI, the time shown is based on the time zone selected here. You can also adjust the time by offsetting by up to
+/- 6 minutes per year.
Updating the CMS-5000 Software
To update the CMS-5000 software, you must first download a valid installation file from QSC.com. To perform the update, click on the
Update Server button in the Server Tools panel and follow instructions to perform the software update. The update will take several
minutes. The CMS will reboot automatically once the update is complete. To maximize the efficiency of the update, avoid ingesting or
playing content during the update process. If the update process is interrupted before completion, reboot the server before trying again.
If the interruption occurs during transfer of the update file to the CMS, it will boot up to the prior version. If the interruption occurs
while the software is being overwritten by the new version, the CMS will boot to the default factory software version (software version
installed when the CMS was manufactured). In either case, you can repeat the update process.
CMS-5000 System Licenses
Some CMS-5000 features must be enabled with a feature license. You can view which licenses are currently installed on the Installed
System Licenses panel on the System->Server page. You should see at least one license installed: SLCPK-5000-P. This key is installed
on all production CMS-5000s and enables playback of encrypted content. Additional feature licenses are available for playback of 4K
video, High Frame Rate video, and > 16 channels of DTS:X rendering. New feature licenses may be added in the future. Feature licenses
are usually ordered along with the CMS and installed prior to shipment but you may contact QSC Sales to purchase additional licensed
features. Once you have purchased the additional feature, it can be enabled as follows:
1.
Contact QSC Technical Services to obtain an Entitlement ID (EID) for the software license you purchased.
2.
On the Installed System Licenses panel, click on the Lock Code button (lower right) to obtain your CMS Lock Code.
3.
Log on to the QSC Licensing Portal at http://licensing.qsc.com/customerlogin and log in using the EID.
4.
Follow the instructions on the screen to activate your license. You will need to provide the CMS Lock ID when prompted and an
email address to which the License Key file will be sent.
5.
When you receive the License Key file, go to the Installed Licenses Panel and click on the Add System License button on the lower
left to open the Add System License page. Click on the Choose File button and open the License Key file you were sent.
6.
Click OK to complete the license installation.
Contact QSC Technical Services with any questions regarding the license installation procedure.
