Configuring the Client for Simple Crash & Scheduled Record

Quickstart Index

Before input sources can be selected, decks need to be added to the deck list. Any deck whose IP address can be “seen”, even via port forwarding or VPN, can be added to the deck list.

First select the gear icon on the Input Sources window to open the input sources list.

Open

Open

In the input sources configuration window, select the “+” to add a deck. Once the deck is added, the deck’s inputs can be selected to add to the input sources list.

Type the IP address of the deck into the address field. If the deck is found on the network, it will show a green “connected” indicator and the name will auto-fill from the deck’s Windows name.

Troubleshooting connections: If the “connected” indicator does not turn green, the Client is not able to communicate with the Server, which usually has to do with firewall settings or similar. See the note bar above for port numbers that need to be whitelisted for correct behavior and contact your IT administrator to help with correct network configuration.

The deck’s Cinedeck Server software version will be shown. To guarantee compatibility, the Server and Client versions should be the same.

Once the deck is saved, it will appear in the IP address list. There is no limit to the number of decks that can be added.
