Video Streaming
Each hutch control room will be equipped with a streaming host.
- Each of the other computers in the control room will have one of their monitors duplicated on the streaming host.
- The shared monitors will appear on the streaming host as webcams
- The shared monitor webcams can be used in Zoom, Slack, and other applications just like other webcams
- The shared monitor webcams can also be opened for viewing on the streaming host desktop view
- The streaming host desktop view will be made available as an embedded, non-interactive video stream via pswww
This allows viewers to get information from each hutch control room computer with minimal additional load on the computers or the operator(s)In order to provide read-only viewing of multiple control-room displays at full resolution, without impacting the performance of the host machine, LCLS is working to provide a Video Streaming Service for multiple control-room displays at each instrument.
