Author Topic: Ingest of tms to GDC SX3000 issues. Juan Jose Vazquez Film Handler Posts: 16 From: Queretaro, Queretaro, Mexico Registered: Jun 2018 posted 01-28-2019 01:44 PM                     I just updated a GDC SX3000 server to Build 485 with its hotfix 2 but after updating the server you can not do content transfers from the TMS. A few days later, Hotfix 3 came out but I still can not transfer content. I use Screenwritter and obviously an SX3000 with Barco 20C. It is the only server that has this problem. In the other rooms there is SX2000AR and a Showvault. Does something similar happen to someone else?

Highlight started and stop this service, then restart. Happens to us on a occasional basis where we shut down the services and restart them.  |  IP: Logged Juan Jose Vazquez Film Handler Posts: 16 From: Queretaro, Queretaro, Mexico Registered: Jun 2018 posted 01-29-2019 06:32 PM                     I have done what to restart the transfer service in the tms and for the moment the transfers work correctly. thanks to everyone.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-29-2019 07:05 PM                     I have Build 485 running on at least 40 SX-3000 and no issues at all, but minus any hot fixes. What you might try is reverting to an older Firmware version that did work for you. Just like you can do on the full size servers by tapping, I believe, the Delete key right at startup, it boots into a different sector containing a "restore to previous version" option. It will restore the server backwards, so be sure to save the setup before doing this! Its been years since I had to do this, in fact... before DCI Firmware and I have never tried doing it on an SX-3000. Anyway, it's possible you will lose all setting after the restore. You might also still have to manually set all the IP addresses, so take note of those as well... Also, I rarely install a hot fix unless it specifically addresses a problem I am having. You have to check with GDC to see what the Hot Fixes actually fix. Usually they fix a very specific issue.

Instead of buying a new tube, you patch up all the holes over the old tube.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-31-2019 10:51 AM                     A hot fix is usually a single fix to address a certain problem that someone with a lot of SX-3000's is having. Or sometimes pertaining to making it work a certain way on another makers TMS system, CInedigm for example.

That would tell us if the bug just involves one specific IMS<>TMS combo, or if that hotfix appears to have broken the ability to ingest online from other sources as well.  |  IP: Logged
