A Flexible Platform for Professional Visual Production....

 DVS Imaging and Recovery Tool (IaRT)

The DVS Imaging and Recovery Toolkit allows operators to easily manage the configuration of our universal platform hardware.

This tool is installed on the main operating system disk in our servers, replacing the default Windows recovery environment. This allows operators to switch between different base server operating system images, depending on the project or system setup they require.

Our universal platform media server range, the G-SERIES, SWARM and HYDRA come with our Deployment Licence as standard.

Key Features

Factory Reset: Allows the server to be reset to the configuration that was initial on the server on initial delivery.

IaRT App: Our Windows application that allows management and deployment directly from windows. Allowing you to select either the factory image, a DVS image, or a custom image ( licence depending ) from within the application and fire and forget from here. When the deployment action is taken, the system automatically reboots into the recovery environment, re-images the server, and boots back up into the new configuration.

DVS Overseer Integration: The features in the IaRT App are also accessible through Overseer if you have an active licence, allowing you to deploy images remotely from other systems through the Overseer GUI interface.

DVS Prebuilt Image Deployment: For our Universal platform servers ( G-SERIES, SWARM and HYDRA ) we build specific images for various supported configurations ( e.g WATCHOUT, Pixera, Resolume etc ) allowing these servers to change configuration in minutes to support a different media server applications.

Licence Management: This feature allows you to manage specific licence files for supported software ( e.g Dante Virtual Soundcard, Pixera .lic files ) that are stored on the recovery partition, these licences are redeployed to the server after the imaging process to reactivate required software products.

Custom Images: As part of our Deployment Plus licence, you can also capture custom images, allowing you to build your own internal library of configurations for any use case. The only limit is the storage space of the recovery partition.

DVS Overseer

Overseer gives engineers operating DVS G-SERIES, SWARM and HYDRA servers a fantastic tool-kit for configuration and monitoring.

Locally networked DVS servers can be discovered and accessed through the Overseer GUI, run from one of the servers, or a separate production machine. 

Overseer is an evolving tool-kit. With valuable feedback from our experienced and constantly challenged client-base, Overseer will continue to grow and improve over time.
