Setup and Administration

Timing Display will work out of the box, as long as you install the Mosart Web Applications on the same machine as the Viz Mosart Server.

Prerequisites

  • Viz Mosart 5.0.3 or later

Installation

  1. From Vizrt's FTP server, download the bundle //products/VizMosart/Latest Version/WebApplications/ MosartWebApplications.Bundle-n.n.n.n.exe.

  2. If upgrading, make sure an existing instance of the Viz Mosart Web Applications Configuration Tool is not open.

  3. Run the Mosart Web Applications installer on the Viz Mosart server machine.

  4. At successful installation, a configuration tool automatically opens:

    A yellow warning icon and text CONFIGURATION REQUIRED alert if further user settings must be entered.

  5. In the Timing Display panel click Open.
    A Timing Display with layout editor opens. Here you can create your required timer details, or use the default appearance.

  6. Copy the URL to bring it to your studio.

Configuration

Enabling HTTPS

The Web Applications suite optionally supports HTTPS authentication for the applications running under it, with a centralized interface to help with certificate configuration.

Note: Depending on the application, some additional configuration may be needed in the connected applications (for example Viz Mosart itself) to enable HTTPS communication.


Step 1 - Turn HTTPS on in Mosart Web Applications

  1. Launch the Viz Mosart Web Applications Configuration Tool (a desktop shortcut is presented by default).

  2. In the top right corner, switch on the HTTPS switch.

  3. Provide certificate and key details (consult with your IT department to obtain this).

    Note: This selection also turn on HTTPS for the Mosart NRCS Plugin.

Step 2 - Turn HTTPS on in Mosart Remote Dispatcher Service

  1. Copy the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Mosart Medialab\Mosart Server\ConfigurationFiles\RemoteDispatcherServiceConfig.xml to C:\ChannelTemplates.

  2. Fill in the following fields:

    • SignalRUseHttps: true

    • SignalRCertificatePath: <path_to_the_server.crt_created_above>

    • SignalRCertificateKeyPath: <path_to_the_server.key_created_above>

    • SignalRCertificatePassword: <the_passphrase_used_above>

Support for main/backup Connection

Currently there is no autonomous support at switching.

  • A simple workaround is creating two open Timing Display instances and manually switching between them.
