3 Part II: Software Setup
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 cable
on the SX Video breakout cables. If this setting is checked, the SX 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
SX 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 SX video server system. If you require support from
Tightrope Media Systems on your SX 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.
