Your system can be accessed remotely via browser or HTTPS configuration. Check here some settings to achieve the best possible performance.
Note: these configurations should already be pre-configured on your system. If not, MOG strongly recommends that you apply them.
When using your workstation’s browser for working with the MOG System, there are a few configurations to improve it.
To be able to use the modular player widget on your system dashboard, you must add the server’s IP and server name to the “hosts” file of your workstation, in case there is no DNS propagation on your network.
To do this, navigate to “C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc” on your workstation, open the “hosts” file in a file editor with administrator privileges, and add a line with the following syntax: “server_IP server_name” (e.g.: “127.0.0.1 MOGServer01”).
Depending on your setup you may need to monitor a certain number of live inputs. In this case, you can control up to 8 monitors per dashboard by remotely accessing your server through a web browser.
For a fluent experience, is required to have a workstation with the following minimum requirements:
MOG strongly recommends that these minimum requirements are met to avoid performance constraints.
Note that when using a standalone server you will only be able to control each server independently. This means that if you have more than one server, a connection in a separate web browser tab is required to control each server since they are not part of a workgroup and do not have the required licensing (feature only available in a 4PRO mediaFARM).
Important notes:
It is assumed that we do not guarantee the synchronization between the timecodes / video represented in the different players on the same interface. This lag is only visual and the recording captures are not affected. This means that from the moment each capture starts taking into account the timecode of the interface, it will be the start timecode of the resulting file.
There are mechanisms implemented in the MOG system that ensure synchronization between gang captures when selecting the option to use one of the channels as a reference.
The more the number of channels to be monitored, the greater the latency and in turn the greater the risk of increasing timecode deviations between players.
Note that the gap exists due to the web technologies used at this time. MOG is working, as technology allows, to reduce these gaps as much as possible.
Note: this section does not apply to mCODER models.
When using Google Chrome (or another Chromium-based browser) to view multiple incoming streams on your workstation, you may find that your workstation Disk usage is very high, specially if you’re using an older system with an HDD as your OS drive. This is due to Google Chrome’s cache high resource usage.
To avoid this high disk usage, MOG recommends:
--disk-cache-dir command.
C:\Users\MOG\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --disk-cache-dir="B:\cache"Please contact our support team for any help on any of these procedures.
Aiming to increase security, MOG systems can also be accessed by HTTPS. To configure this, please follow the steps in the Access via HTTPS quick guide.
