Ventuz 4.1 - Control a Cluster from within the Director

Post by Daniel Willer » 16 Oct 2013, 16:50

Ventuz Director is now able to control remote machines
Director has now a configuration file that contains the Topology describing the Ventuz network. If this file doesn't exist, the default topology is created and saved. If one wants to control a non-default Ventuz network, this configuration has to be edited manually.
This will be accessable from a Topology Editor in the future and will provide more flexibilty.
So stay tuned!

  1. The driven project must exist only once on each system within the network.
  2. A local machine must be involved in the network
  3. Director uses VMS service to launch Ventuz on remote and local machines.
  4. Exactly one single Channel (timeline) must be defined. More or less than one result in an error.
  5. You should declare two PreviewWindows that connect to the local Cluster

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Ventuz4\Configuration\Director\Auto.xml
A sample file for 3 machines would look like that.

Code: Select all

<Director>
  <Topology>
    <Cluster Name="Wall">
      <Machine IP="192.168.3.60"/>
      <Machine IP="192.168.3.61"/>
      <Machine IP="192.168.3.62"/>
    </Cluster>
    <Cluster Name="Local">
      <Machine IP="127.0.0.1"/>
    </Cluster>
    <MultiPort Name="PGM">
      <Connection Cluster="Wall" Pipe="0" Port="0"/>
      <Connection Cluster="Local" Pipe="0" Port="0"/>
    </MultiPort>
    <MultiPort Name="PRV">
      <Connection Cluster="Local" Pipe="1" Port="0"/>
    </MultiPort>
    <Channel Name="Main" Program="PGM" Preview="PRV"/>
    <PreviewWindow Name="P1" Cluster="Local" Pipe="0"/>
    <PreviewWindow Name="P2" Cluster="Local" Pipe="1"/>
  </Topology>
</Director>
This is maybe a subject to change

What exactly did you try? Because it is pretty straight forward just add or remove machines in the Cluster (Wall) section and leave the rest as it is.

Hi,

this section:

Code: Select all

    <Cluster Name="Wall">
      <Machine IP="192.168.3.60"/>
      <Machine IP="192.168.3.61"/>
      <Machine IP="192.168.3.62"/>
    </Cluster>
has to match your current topology. If the number and/or the IPs of your machines change, of course you have to adjust the config.
