Download VENICE Client Software User Guide (Version 3.0)

General Information
The chapters 4 to 6 represent the user levels of the software. Chapter 4
(see chapter “Level User” on page 4-1) describes all features and available functions accessible with user level ’User’. The ’Superuser’ as described in chapter 5, can access all features of the level ’User’ and
some additional functions within his own user level (see chapter “Level
Superuser” on page 5-1). The user ’Administrator’ is able to access features of all other user levels and additional ones within his own user level which is described in chapter 6 (see chapter “Level Administrator”
on page 6-1). The chapters describe the features that are only available
in the respective own user level. The connection between the subsets
of available features in the different user levels are made by cross references in this user guide.
2.2 Key Features of the Software
VENICE is a Media Production Hub especially designed for broadcast
studio production environments. It is a scalable multi-channel system
(2 or 4 channels per unit, multiple units can be clustered) that offers you
ingest, playout, transfer and transcoding functions in one single box.
The open software structure combines video and IT workflows in
broadcast environments. VENICE comes with its own user interface,
designed and developed together with the hardware. The VENICE client software gives you the possibility to control and operate the system
from any location at any time. The four major functions of the software
can be summarized as in the following:

Operation Mode” on page 4-14). All operating elements and configuration options in the ingest mode are described in chapter “General Information” on page 2-1.
