Q-Live File Server
In this article:
Overview
The Q-Live File Server is a software module that provides multi-user access to subtitle files. This allows several users to work on the same rundown, e.g. in order to work on different stories or to share live transmission duties. The File Server is essential if your system has a Newsroom Interface.
The File Server runs as a service, normally on a server machine. The subtitle files are normally stored in a shared folder on the same server.
