Description

This course consists of 2 parts: hardware installation and system support.

The hardware installation part: This course explains in detail the different EVP equipments, their first time installation, replacement, and maintenance. All H.264-SVC compatible equipments are covered, including the storage servers and RAID storage devices. The participants get a thorough understanding of the equipment hardware configuration options, connectivity, performance, and possible maintenance operations.

The support part explains how to support an EVP system which uses the Central Configuration Server (CCS) as main configuration tool. The different possibilities for monitoring and trouble shooting an EVP system are explained and demonstrated. The course focuses also on how to upgrade the Video Operating System (firmware) on the EVP equipments and direct interaction with the EVP equipment firmware.

This course consists of a mix of presentations and software configuration and support exercises done by the course participants on dedicated training stations.
