Summary
Moxie uses TCP/IP for the communications between Moxie Data Server or Data Proxy and Studios and Players. This communication is used to move content items between networked Moxie applications, send content to Players and provides a reliable conduit for other internal data that Moxie uses.
A typical Omnivex Moxie network is set up on three or more PCs, although all of the applications can be installed and run on a single PC or each on a different PC. Omnivex software can be divided into three general categories:
Typically, each category of application is installed on a different PC on the network.
Omnivex Moxie supports many different file formats, including some file formats that require additional software in order for those files to be displayed properly. Depending on the content you intend to use in your design, the following is a list of necessary or useful applications that you should install and upgrade before you set up your Moxie Studio PC.
