The Graphic User Interface
The MAXX-2400HD incorporates a graphic user interface (GUI) which gives fast access to
every server function. It is controlled by a standard keyboard and mouse (supplied) and requires
only a VESA-compliant SVGA display. The full GUI is also available from remote workstations.
The GUI displays a control panel for each server channel; these include transport control, clip
management, head and tail trimming, and playlisting. The GUI can easily operate the server’s four
channels without the need for other equipment.
System configuration is clear and straightforward through the GUI. It provides access to
encoding parameters, audio options, and time-code settings. Whenever new server features are
installed, new set-up parameters and user-interface features become immediately available.
The server comes with Remote Workstation Software, which allows it to be remotely operated
from a standard PC over Ethernet; the GUI is replicated at each remote location. Separate work
areas can be easily created within a building for ingest, trimming, playlisting, system monitoring or
play-to-air.
File Transfers over Gigabit Ethernet
The MAXX-2400 goes beyond just base-band connections for video and audio. File transfers
over Gigabit Ethernet allow the transfer of video content across the room, or across the country, at
high speed and low cost. With Ethernet switches and broadband connections, the server’s design
enables low-cost networking of broadcast operations from ingest to storage, for editing, play-to-air
and archiving.
