Barco XHD Printer User Manual


 
Player Types and Licenses: X-Agora Players with different numbers of outputs are
available. In order to launch X-Agora Player on a Player machine, its host needs to have
the right locallicense, either as anembedded softwarelicense ora physical USBdongle.
These licenses also restrict the number of physical live inputs that should be on a com-
puter. Runtime protection enforces these restrictions; if you try running a Player that
has more physical live inputs or more connected Player outputs than are allowed, the
Player closes and you are notified of the issue in X-Agora. See Licensing (p.29) for more
information on Licensing.
Player Status: A Player's status can be either offline,” “ready,or playing.A Player
is offlinewhen the Player machine is turned off, X-Agora Agent is not running, or
the Player is not connected to the same X-Agora Server. When the X-Agora Agent con-
nection is established, the Player is ready,meaning that the Player can be launched.
Once a Player is launched, its status is playing,and its performance information and
preview are updated.
