Thunder Hockey Multi-Client Network Capture

In Thunder Hockey 24.2.1.1, users now have the ability to Network Capture on two clients that are both physically connected to the server and not in Travel Mode. 

General Information

• Users are required to unplug Black Magic Devices in order to begin a Network Capture.
• Both A/V Matrix and Antrica capture devices are supported.
• We recommend users have 15GB of free storage on the internal drive. 
• We recommend users capture directly the the server's internal SSD rather than the LaCie External drive. 
• We recommend users capture directly to the local client's internal SSD rather than HDD. 
• We recommend using two clients with up to two feeds each.
• Important to Note: Due to the network stream being pulled to two clients and environmental factors, intermittent frames may drop during capture. 

Workflow Steps

The user will designate a primary computer as a Server Client and a secondary computer as a Local Client. They will be referenced as such in the steps below:

1. Server Client

• On the Server Client, start Network Capture as normal. 
• There is a new radio button titled "Capture Location" where the user can select Server for the Server client. 

  

• Select the appropriate Volume Selection.
• Confirm your Capture Settings and Capture Template.
• Start your Network Capture. 

2. Local Client

• On the Local Client, start Network Capture as normal. 
• For this client, set the radio button titled "Capture Location" to Local. 
  • Setting the Local Client to have its capture location to the "Server" radio button will give you a warning.

• Pick the appropriate Volume Selection.
• Confirm your Capture Settings and Capture Template.
• Start your Network Capture. 

3. Finalizing Capture

• The user can finalize the capture on either Client. 
• The Server Client will finalize the Network Capture and upload to the server.
• The Local Client will give the user a choice:
  • Upload to the server: the captured media will be available on the server (network-wide).
  • Keep local: the media will only be available to that client.
