8.6 Two Operators with Two Computers
In some productions it may be desirable to have the graphics person using a different
computer than the host PC. This reduces the workload on the host PC, and also
provides a wider variety of physical studio layouts. For example, this configuration might
look like the following illustration. In this environment the graphics operator has their
own computer. To implement this two computer system:
1.
Network the two computers together using the additional network hub, which keeps
the graphics network traffic from interfering with the control network traffic on the
private hub that comes with the system. You will need to set a static IP address to
each computer. Do not use the same IP address as the one used for the control
network (192.168.53.250) as this will cause performance issues. Go to Control
Panel, Network Connections to change the IP address of the network card. NIC 2 is
for the Control Network for Broadcast Pix (this is located next to the USB ports) and
NIC 1 is used for your local private network (this is located next to the graphics card).
2.
Activate Windows file sharing, and share the folders C:graphics and D:clips
3.
An additional Inscriber license will be necessary, which can be installed on any
Windows PC. Load the Inscriber software on it and select Stand Alone when
prompted by Inscriber during the install.
