Contact Support. With your setup I believe TRMS will need to edit a config file one each server

Get your firewall port forwarding done first so they can test everything as they work.

I assume you have one internet connection with one static IP so you will need three new port numbers. One for each server. Something like 8081,8082,8083...

I have used a PC with an expensive Canopus MVR-D2200V Capture card with the easy to use bundled software and a few custom scripts to protect accidental deletion of reels. It can be built into a small form factor. A TRMS competator has this product but it is as simple as just using a good capture card in a PC and transfer the files over the network.

I have not seen any DV recorders that record clips larger than 2gb. With the Focus Enhancements (Videonics) that is typically 9min of video. So no good unless you put your clips on a timeline and render out a single file.

It is unfortunate that Focus Enhancements never released that FS-M product. I waited for that to be released for some time and was very disapointed when they decided not to release.

Cablecast > Location Settings > Control Module Sets >

In the Port/IP/Local Path box for the playback CMS Enter a | after the current drive then enter the additional drive or path.

For example the local drive and a network path would look like...
\\192.168.1.164\CONTENT\|E:\ENCODER

For a network path you will need to enter this in the network path box as well.

Two local drives...
E:\|F:\

Put a valid file on the new drive and check digital file management. You should see it listed. Then try to play back that file.

smfmediadesign replied on March 19, 2009 22:04 to the idea "Upcoming show run indicator" in Tightrope Media Systems:

Like I said it exists to some extent. If you go into digital file management you should see a star. i can't remember when that was added. But I can tell you it was done so you would know it was scheduled and the file would not be deleted. That feature has been implemented for 2+ years now.

smfmediadesign replied on March 19, 2009 18:08 to the idea "Upcoming show run indicator" in Tightrope Media Systems:

This exists to some extent already. A show on a video server should have an * at the end to tell you that it plays sometime in the future. I don't know if that was done for everything or just digital files. Looks like it was only done for digital files if you don't see it.

The links you provided are the same links I was talking about.

I was mistaken when I said a dynamic bulletin. You can do this by adding a Web Picture Block in a Standard Bulletin and paste in that URL.

Here are some examples...
