StreamNet server is an add-on software that can control a multiple number of StreamPix 4 applications running either on the same or on a network of computers. StreamNet server will control all StreamPix copies simultaneously in cases where you may need to acquire a multitude of sequences at the same time.

StreamNet server GUI

• With one StreamNet server running, any connected StreamPix client can be controlled.
• StreamNet must be purchased separately.

Typical usage:

Your application requires the capturing of 3 sequences simultaneously from 3 different cameras at the same time.

• Because of the camera used, the required bandwidth implies the use of 3 different computers, one for each camera.
• Hence 3 computers are required with one copy of StreamPix per computer.
• Install one StreamNet server on one of the 3 computers as master control.
• The 3 computers must be networked using TCP/IP.
• Any operation such as start recording performed on the StreamNet server will automatically start recording on each of the 3 copies of StreamPix simultaneously.
• There are not limits on the number of clients or StreamPix copies used in the network.
• Depending on the camera used, in some cases, it is possible to capture from more than one unit on the same computer.

Third party remote control: StreamNetServer can be remotely controlled by Vicon Blade Mocap systems. StreamNet will decode Vicon Blade messages and control StreamPix Workspaces using Vicon messages. The following actions are supported:

• Immediat start recording
• Immediat stop recording with or without automatic sequence file closing
• Start recording on matching LTC time code to sequence or jpeg files
• Stop recording on matching LTC time code with or without automatic sequence file closing
• Create recording destination sequence / JPEG file based on scene / take name
• IP and Port filtering for usage under multiple Vicon Blade environment

Status broadcasting via UDP messaging: StreamNetServer can broadcast simple UDP messages to any UDP listener clients. For each action done into StreamNet, UDP messages can be sent. Pre and Post messages are available:

• Pre messsages are UDP broadcast before the action is sent to each StreamPix connected workspaces
• Post messsages are UDP broadcast after the action was sent to all StreamPix connected workspaces
• IP and Port filtering

All message codes are available on request.
