As all Viz Mosart applications and services are interconnected using TCP/IP it is possible to run all components on different computers, allowing multiple redundancy setups possible.

Viz Mosart is based on a dual redundant server and GUI PC configuration with dual redundant connections (Network Teaming) to broadcast devices where possible.

The recommended redundancy setup is to run a Main and Backup Viz Mosart Server with two workstations running the Viz Mosart GUI.

An example of a recommended redundancy setup is shown in the figure below (depending on the characteristics of the connected devices):

The system in the figure above has the following characteristics:

• Dual redundant system

• All Viz Mosart applications and services part of the Viz Mosart Server suite are interconnected and running on the same server.

• Both Main and Backup Viz Mosart GUI applications are configured to initially use the Main Viz Mosart Server. Only one click is needed in order to connect to the backup server.

• All external equipment and systems are shared between the main and backup servers.

• The vision mixer is in this example connected using serial RS-422 with both main and standby cabling as the mixer supports multiple serial connections.

• The Audio mixer in this example has only one serial connection. A Serial/Ethernet converter (for example MOXA Terminal Server) has been used to enable both servers to communicate with the mixer.

• All other equipment is connected via TCP/IP on a common network. IP redundancy is presumed on a network level through the use of Network Teaming.
