There are primarily three kinds of connections:

Connections from an NCS to Gateway

These are connections that are established by the NCS as a connection to Gateway.

Characteristics of this connection type:

  • Only one active connection per type can be made per NCS. Connection types are identified as NCS-RO-server and NCS-MOS-server in the Active Connections window.

  • Most NCSs do not have a permanent or fixed connection to Gateway. Therefore, the connection information is only visible when the NCS sends messages to Gateway, for example when a running order is activated or updated.

Connection from a Control Station to Gateway

These are connections to Vizrt’s content control applications.

Characteristics of this connection type:

  • Only one active connection per Media Sequencer is connected to a control station. Connection types are identified as MSE-client.

  • The Host IP is the property of the Media Sequencer that the control station is using.

Connection from Gateway to an NCS

These are connections that are established by Gateway as a connection to an NCS.

Characteristics of this connection type:

  • Only one active connection per type can be made per NCS.

  • Connection types are identified as NCS-RO-client and NCS-MOS-client.
