Section 4: Software
The X-Agora software suite is a unified software environment designed to facilitate
projection mapping project workflow from design to playback and operation.
4.1
Requirements
4.1.1
Hardware
X-Agora machines run Windows Embedded 8.1 x64.
These machines come pre-installed with X-Agora, including a license for the software.
To perform X-Agora updates, you must run the X-Agora wizard, which is explained in
this guide.
4.1.2
Distributed deployment
If your installation requires the use of multiple X-Agora machines (because of a high
number of required outputs or for performance reasons), it is important that all of the
machines runthe sameexactversionof thesoftware, to avoid communicationproblems
and feature discrepancies between components.
4.1.3
Network
X-Agora relieson theproper functioningof yournetwork, andmakes afew assumptions:
• TCP and UDP communication is open on the network. These protocols
are usedfor small file transfers, clock synchronization, andthe commu-
nication of interactive signals.
• All X-Agoramachines have thesame Windowscredentials. Thisensures
that the use of Windows file sharing works for the transfer of media
files.
• All X-Agora machines automatically log on to a Windows session at
boot time. This ensures that all the necessary applications are running
when needed.
You may wish to isolate the X-Agora network from external inputs for security reasons.
Please keep in mind that X-Agora uses different network protocols for its proper func-
tioning, andthat within the X-Agora network itis recommendedto leave all communic-
ation open.
