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 setup possibilities.

• Automation Server Mirroring

• Connected GUIs

• Graphical Interfaces

  • AV Automation - The Engineering Interface

  • Viz Mosart GUI (Operator's Interface)

• Device-specific Redundancy

  • Video server redundancy

  • Video Switcher Backup

  • Newsroom System Switch-over

Viz Mosart is based on a dual redundant server and a GUI PC configuration with dual redundant connections (Network Teaming) to broadcast devices. 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 schematically below (the actual solution will depend on the characteristics of the connected devices):

The system in the example above has the following characteristics:

• Dual redundant system.

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

• Both main and backup Viz Mosart GUI applications are configured to both main and backup Viz Mosart servers. Initially they use the main Viz Mosart Server.
  Only one click is needed to instead connect them to the backup server.

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

• The vision mixer is 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 for enabling 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.
