Figure I.34. Outputs Players Map
Player Types and Licenses: X-Agora Players with different numbers of outputs are
available. In order to launch X-Agora Player on a Player machine, its host needs to have
the right local license, either as an embedded software license or a physical USB dongle.
These licenses also restrict the number of physical live inputs that should be on a com-
puter. Runtime protection enforces these restrictions; if you try running a Player that
has more physical live inputs or more connected Player outputs than are allowed, the
Player closes and you are notified of the issue in X-Agora. See Licensing (p.30) for more
information on Licensing.
Player Status: A Player's status can be either "offline," "ready," or "playing." A Player
is "offline" when the Player machine is turned off, X-Agora Agent is not running, or
the Player is not connected to the same X-Agora Server. When the X-Agora Agent con-
nection is established, the Player is "ready," meaning that the Player can be launched.
Once a Player is launched, its status is "playing," and its performance information and
preview are updated.
Player Performance: When a Player is running, it periodically sends performance in-
formation to X-Agora. You can access this detailed performance information by hovering
your cursor above each property and its related gauge.
