EX Range Licenses

Along with the standard EX range license, which comes with the server, the following optional functional unlock add-on licenses are available:

Real-Time Connector license
Colour Management license

These perpetual feature unlock add-on licenses are valid for the EX range media servers only, i.e. the EX 2, EX 2C, EX 3 and EX 3+.

Real-Time Connector license

The Real-Time Connector (RTC) license unlocks the usage of Notch and TouchDesigner on the EX range. The Real-Time Connector license is a one-time purchase which is valid perpetually for the server. It cannot be moved between servers.

The usage of Notch and TouchDesigner is enabled as follows:

Notch can be run as a Notch block in the Notch layer
Notch can be run via the RenderStream Local layer
TouchDesigner can be run via the RenderStream Local layer

Any performance degradation resulting from running a resource-intensive content, such as a heavy Notch or TouchDesigner scene, is the responsibility of the customer. Optimisation of the project will be up to the customer.

If the Real-Time Connector license is not present on the EX range server, then the RenderStream Local layer is not enabled.

Colour Management License

The Colour Management license unlocks the usage of ACES and OCIO colour management on the EX range. The Colour Management license is a one-time purchase which is valid perpetually for the server. It cannot be moved between servers.

D3net sessions with EX range servers

Where an EX range server is used as a Director, if the Colour Management license is not present, then the EX cannot join the session if the project is in ACES or OCIO mode.
