3. Introduction Product Overview XFlyStreamer is a software dedicated to the backup of streams from one or several EVS video servers XT2 XT2 XT3 XS XTnano XFlyStreamer manages the backup and transfer of all streams selected by the operator This manual describes the configuration interface which is easy to use and straightforward XFlyStreamer acts as a user interface for the Xsquare XT Access file transfer application running in the background XFlyStreamer sends its commands to Xsquare using the SOAP jobs files Please refer to the Xsquare Suite documentation for detailed instructions about this application We recommend to install the XFlyStreamer user interface on the same computer as the Xsquare XTAccess file transfer application so that Xsquare Suite is dedicated to XFlyStreamer and is not used by any other application Note q Xsquare XTAccess is restricted to file transfer with wrapping when required but cannot perform any format transcoding XFlyStreamer is able to communicate only with one single Xsquare application at a time but it manages the backup of streams from multiple EVS servers to several XFly storage devices XFlyStreamer creates SOAP files corresponding to the backup of streams grabs jobs requested by the operator and sends these files to the local Xsquare application EVS Broadcast Equipment SA Issue 1 04 B December 2013 1 2 Network Architecture Description XFlyStreamer must be install
